Bluetooth, while being perfectly adequate, does need to compress/encode the audio. As a result, wired does sound better, though it only really makes a difference if you’ve got headphones where you might notice it.

That thread is still magnificent.
Some very dedicated modders have managed to squeeze bluetooth into their Classics. Personally, I think that undoes the point of having one of the best sounding DAPs, but all power to them for adding some versatility.
And flashmodding a classic iPod can give you 500gb of storage, if you want.
Louis Rossman’s recent video on this is good.
And yeah, my Plex server doesn’t fuck me about the way the streaming services do.
Oh, can you use Plex as a DVR then?
You know, as much as I’m fine with setting sail to find video content that’s hidden behind streaming subscriptions, I’m actually ok with paying £15 a month for Apple Music / Spotify, et al…
I mean, I’d say there’s 99% similarity between the libraries of the big two streamers, so it’s not like you have to sub to both to get all the music you want. I can listen to the same hardcore bands across most of them, and that’s fine. The problem I have is that there’s a bunch of shows on Netflix, another bunch on D+, more on Prime, and so on, and so on. So we’re made to feel that, in order to keep up with cultural discourse, we have to spend out £70+ a month on half a dozen different services.
And nah, fuck that.
All that said, I do download some music, because I want FLACs to convert to 320 aac so I can load on to the iPod I like to use.
Yeah, good luck finding me.
My mate Gary who puts them on his enormous Plex server. He’s a good lad.
