Device to Read Flash Memory Into Home Stereo

• #1

Skillful Evening from Kane PA, I am looking for something that I tin can hook to my home stereo via rca cables and play music that is on a usb retentiveness stick. Everything music wise is digital format, but I need someway to hook and play through a home receiver that does not accept usb capability. I have three home receivers, but about of my music has been put onto pc's, sd's usb, etc. CD'southward are becoming obsolete and low chapters, so burning everything is a footstep backwards.. This is driving me crazy, in today'south world of applied science, in that location'south got to be a reasonably priced device that can do this without using a pc. Thank you for your help

I'd only get some type of wireless adapter, either wifi or BT and just stream to the AVR.

The result with a device that plays music from a USB stick is that you need controls (play/suspension/finish) and a bones display. Back in the mp3 player hayday Artistic did take such a thing. It came with it'south own USB stick, only you can use any.

The closest I accept seen to what you mention now are for a car. They are those cigarette adapter media actor that read off SD carte du jour with bones playback command and sent music FM to your car radio, but it sounds like yous want something via RCA?

I tin't recall of whatsoever simple, cheap device for yous other than the cheapest $60 Blu-Ray players from Samsung or Sony that have a USB in. Trouble with them is you need your TV on to get to the music player then y'all can finally use your remote to control. It's sad players don't fifty-fifty accept bones displays anymore.

If your receiver is HDMI, my proposition though, since yous seem technically inclined is the $30 ChromeCast. It's ridiculously easy to stream things to information technology. It's simply a extension in Chrome or built in back up in apps for your mobile device (Android/IOS). Your music sits on your PC or phone and y'all only stream it. It's surprisingly loftier quality. It outputs the correct sampling rate and seems to get the highest rawest video streams off YouTube/Hulu and Google Play.

Did I mention how cheap it is? Over the holidays I've seen it for ~$25 with $20 worth of Google Play credit.

similarly, you could probably just get with an mp3 histrion or smart phone that has 3.v mm/headphone out and apply a 3.5mm to RCA stereo connector. That bypasses the USB requirement, and the need for the Telly to be on. This assumes your receiver doesn't have a three.5mm input otherwise you'd simply go a 3.5mm male male person cable.

Thank to all for the replies. Equally Razel said, the issue is that none accept displays so I need a tv for the display to come across the menu, not what I was hoping for for my garage, but if so, so be it, I have a couple of nineteen" tvs unused in the basement, now I wonder where their remote is. Something then simple, withal so complicated. Thanks once again to everyone for their help.

I actually did order a mp3 thespian to exercise such, its just that then you lot are using their "noisy" output instead of something with a line out. I even tried to observe a portable cd player that had a line out, my sony walkman has one, but it's starting to act up. I bought a player that advertised a line out, but it didn't have ane, it was a earphone output which is not the cleanest, but non much out at that place to cull from. thank you

I notwithstanding employ my one-time Sandisk Sansa M250 MP3 players to play MP3s. 2GB capacity, not a ton, but that's a lot of music in the 128kbps 44khz sampling rate I generally employ to make my MP3s. Has a decent LCD display organisation, runs on a unmarried AAA bombardment, I use Sanyo Eneloop rechargables. I drive headphones directly from them and also plug a mini jack into them that goes to a inexpensive Lepai amplifier that drives the speakers in my kitchen. Alternatively, I plug the Lepai into the headphone output from a mini-stereo system. The Lepai drives nice bookshelf speakers.

Instead of the MP3 players, I can and do utilize my smartphone (with its 64GB microSD card) for the audio (MP3) source to drive my kitchen organization.

for around $200 you can go an avr that will have USB and Network connections. I bought a Harmon Kardon 1510 and so I could employ a USB stick which worked OK....I actually concluded up buying a powerline adapter and hard wiring the AVR direct to my PC which I like a lot better. I don't actually use it that often now that I have it set up up. I have a ton of records and CD's...at the terminate of the twenty-four hour period, I'm content just reaching over and grabbing one.

the usb/network option is overnice for parties where you want a variety of music playing for a long fourth dimension.
