I'm a live sound engineer, and whenever I need to play music from my phone over the PA, I now have to dig out yet another goddamn adapter to do so. A tour manager or road engineer with an apple device wants to play tunes over the house PA? Hope they have their own adapter, because my "universal" USB-C adapter won't cut it.
I totally agree that the dongle jungle is annoying. In my case I just put a Bluetooth receiver on a 3.5 jack on a PA system. Proprietary connectors have always been a pain. Remember when every year pcs would release with a other required swap of proprietary cables.
That's a really cool solution with the Bluetooth receiver! I fortunately don't have to play music from my own device too often
I was just shaking my fist at the clouds lol
Agreed about proprietary nonsense, for sure. I know I could have it much worse, since I've at least got a good ol', normal USB-C port, and, as you mentioned, we aren't living in the bad old days before at least some standardization came along.
