Happy(?) 8-Track Tape Day! Celebrate history's worst commercial audio format!
Yesterdays #hack get: “80s tech to work with 2025 tech”
“Hack, hack, watch Jack hack”
I’ve got a stack of CDs I usually listen to in the car. Car is permanently broken. The replacement car has no CD player (#tape or #8track 🤣) so I’ll have do some tinkering.
* First get out an unused #SONY #BoomBox to play #CD s. 📻
* Second locate a #bluetooth transmitter. Check bluetooth standard is BT 5.0 compatible.
* Third, find USB-A to USB-C power for the XMitter
* Four, power supply for boombox, C6.
* Five find a 3.5mm AUX cable to connect to XMitter.
* Six and dodgiest, PAIR bluetooth from boombox XMitter to car.
Now I can run the car audio without #streaming #shite music 🔊, not have to mess around with BS phone issues. ☺️

“This tape was found at a construction site in Novosibirsk, Russia. The title is what appears to be morse code written on the outer surface of the tape encasing. Its authors and origins are unknown.
Update: this has been released on a Brazilian label called Liga Do Vento Divino, both digitally and as a limited edition #8track cartridge.”
I take no responsibility.
