    Put a bluetooth speaker in the shower instead of your phone; it’s not like you can work the screen with wet hands anyway.

    SInce my speaker stopped working, I’ve taken to putting the phone in a plastic baggie hanging from the curtain rod between the curtains.

      How dense is your shower curtain than you can’t leave it outside the shower and still hear it??

        The speaker on my Pixel 7 is plenty loud, but so is the water in the shower.

        I also listen to podcasts, which are usually mixed quieter than music, and require more volume to pick up quieter consonants.

          I got a couple Amazon Echo Show 8s and hacked them with Lineage. It doesnt sound great but it at least has more body than my cell phone, so I can actually hear it. And I dont have to mess around with Bluetooth. And there’s no battery.

            You think hacking an Amazon Show with Lineage is less work than “messing around with Bluetooth”? You’ll fit right in here.

                I’ll keep an eye out for stuff like that at tag sales. I have a media server that is unused for music. I mean, I could use my phone, but i hate messing around with bluetooth.

        Not the person you replied to but I can hear it just fine…but I would rather not hear music at all than to hear it muffled through a shower curtain and a waterfall.

        Speaker’s gotta be IN the shower or I’m singing my own songs
