omfg if it does pass thru power i’ll lose my mind. my car has a “modern” cassette player with a hole in the door for one of those 3.5mm to cassette converters, i could make this WORK

Pretty sure they have a little battery.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I have one of these, not sure if its the exact model but i can confirm. Comes with a battery.

Can also confirm (to my annoyance) that you cannot have it charging and play music at the same time. So don't bother buying a slim angled micro usb cable like I did...

They missed an opportunity to use the spinning gear to generate its own power.

That's what I'm thinking too! The housing is probably too small to house it all but man it would be cool

Does it work alright though? How long do you usually expect it to last on any given day?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not too shabby, never really counted it but I believe it lasts for about 6h at least on a full charge? I usually only drive for around an hour max though so it's more of a guesstimate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's very doable. Thank you

What is this black magic?!

You can't be in audiophile mode in a car. You don't even get proper stereo separation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, people obsessed with car stereos are usually of the "I want everyone to know I'm playing music" variety.

And occasionally of the "I want it to be dangerous to listen to music coming from my sound system" variety.

Which I do kinda get, since I, too, thrive on wtf faces, though I generally don't want to be a nuisance or damage my property in the process. Like it's usually a wtf face from an unexpected combination that turns out to be better than one would expect, like saying I like chocolate sauce on sausages (which works because chocolate doesn't have to be combined with tons of sugar).

You should try the Bowers and Wilkins system in the BMW iX some time. In the USA it's a $3,400 upgrade compared to their mid-range Harmon Kardon system (which itself is an upgrade from the base system), but it sounds amazing. 30 speakers including one in every head rest, two subwoofers under the floor, and 4 bass shakers in the front seats. 1615 watts total. Sounds better than some home cinema setups I've heard.

The most expensive thing I own is less than $3,000. I don't think I'm this target demographic.

Good, we don't have time for the demented.

Why is there no wifi cassette adapter? That would be so cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It'd drain the batteries quickly. Wifi uses a relatively large amount of power, and low-power wifi variants like HaLow aren't widespread yet. Bluetooth has a low energy mode for low-power devices that works well for this use case. I guess it could have a power cord, but then why use wifi when it could just plug into the phone instead?
