I still use my CD player. Especially if I’ve forgotten to turn bluetooth on and can’t be bothering with flipping my phone out. Fiddling with a bunch of plastic and easily scratchable CDs is much better.

I don’t understand these words: “Forgotten to turn on Bluetooth”.

You turn Bluetooth off, or D by use automation to manage it?

Over the years I’ve ysd a combination or NFC and Macrodroid/Automate/Tasker to manage connections.

Like I always wanty phone to connect to my car, so NFC tag right beside the phone mount. Quick touch and all is configured - BT connection, volumes, etc.
