How do you listen to your !linux or other podcasts while driving?
-
@lstench 80 minutes a day, which happens to be exactly the amount of time it takes me to drive home from work
-
@lstench I’ve tried downloading them to phone or tablet, but you’ll have car full of kids, so better off skipping podcasts on the trip to OK
-
Well I was thinking maybe audiobooks too. Oh and Hubs chose the house in Kansas!! So all my original plans are in disarray :/
-
so do you hook your mp3 player to your car radio?
-
I have a FM transmitter that I plug my phone into. Works pretty good in my old pickup but only decently well in my wifes car.
-
And the transmitter that I have is similar to http://url.jpope.org/g2

That makes me right! Way back here... http://ur1.ca/8nkpw

@lstench No. I download them to my N810 and use the speaker on that. And sorry - I misread your original question

Pick up one of those cheap FM transmitters that plug into the cigarette lighter. Actually, get a few, they're usually pretty flimsy.

I need some kind of adapter. The kids are enjoying the Magic Tree House at the moment but going to need to be able to p…

Yep you were esp. with summer around the corner.

@jpope much more reliable than fm transmission if you have cassette player in the car.
-
Do you think I could just use my computer speakers
-
@pete wouldn't it degrade the audio quality? I heard FM radio is only as good as 96kbps mp3 at best
-
Definitely, but if you're listening to a spoken podcast it doesn't really matter too much. Music's a little tinny though.

Podcasts on !Android phone (currently using Google Listen, looking for alternatives) → streamed to Bluetooth hands-free → FM stereo
-
@samatjain Not free but Doggcatcher is very good. Check out http://www.doggcatcher.com. I think it should be possibe to do what you want.
-
What stereo is this?
-
Normal (i.e. piece of crap) BMW stereo from 1999. Bluetooth hands-free is the special bit, can rebroadcast as FM which the stereo picks up
