I just make do with a Bluetooth to RCA dongle. The upside is it plays any bluetooth audio, not just Spotify. I can even connect it via my phone then control Spo

  The big problem with just plain Bluetooth to me is that “as far as Bluetooth ‘just works’” is “not very well” in my experience. The usual problems with connects and disconnects are annoying, but I’ve also grown impatient with this notion that we can just use our phone for everything. It drives me bonkers, for example, to have my music rudely interrupted by a text message sound instead of just having a subtle ding come from my pocket while the music continues to come from my stereo. Or that I can’t make a phone call while the music continues. Or to have my phone ring at stereo volume. I just want my music to be separate, I guess, which is totally possible through software, but none of our devices actually seem to have features that allow that. So a dedicated device is ideal, IMO.

    A similar issue with Bluetooth for me is that that if my phone is on my pocket, my body is readily blocking the signal, as it turns out water is great at absorbing 2.4ghz. Standing phone pocket away from my Bluetooth speaker is enough to interrupt the music.
