I really would like one, compact thing, with witch to access all of my music. Instead I have a menagerie.
Here’s the stereo, which plays the radio, CDs, cassette tapes and also records, if I hooked up the record player.
Because the stereo doesn’t really get good radio reception, I also bought this radio which I love! It’s small (notice it tucked away next to the stereo in the above picture) and the knob gives a satisfying “click” when I turn it on. The reception is superior, which is great because I listen to the radio a lot.
Unless you factor in podcasts. With the new phone, I found an app that gives me podcasts I love. Because I don’t like to walk around the house with ear buds in my ears, I bought this Bluetooth speaker. It stores nicely in a drawer.
And then, if I want to listen to any non-CD, non-cassette music, I have the iPod, which is old. It doesn’t even have all of my music because it doesn’t all fit (the rest is stored on my computer.) I could listen to the podcasts via iTunes on the iPod, but I find iTunes incredibly unfriendly (and I know I’m in the minority here, but iTunes just doesn’t work the way my mind works) so I don’t get the podcasts through iTunes.
Someday I would like to have a compact stereo system with speakers that can play in different areas of the house, and my music/podcasts on one device. But right now? I straddle many worlds.
