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.
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.
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.
Get a little Bluetooth speaker. I keep my phone next to the speaker outside the shower, and I hear it fine.

You think hacking an Amazon Show with Lineage is less work than “messing around with Bluetooth”? You’ll fit right in here.
Haha. I mean it takes like 15 min and then never had to mess with it again.
