Bluetooth vs. Wi-Fi Music: Which Has Better Audio Quality? Choose Wi-Fi if you can

Wi-Fi is better for music since these connections have much higher bandwidth than Bluetooth, meaning your music isn’t additionally compressed, making for higher-quality audio. Bluetooth can still sound good and is very useful (and is probably good enough), bu ...continues

@danie10 I agree, but then I hate bluetooth for more reasons than the ones you mentioned. I've been using jellyfin to archive and stream my music from my computer to my stereo, and even though the connections are all wireless the sound quality is amazing. If you add tailscale, or another VPN tunneling service to that you can take it anywhere you have phone service.

...Then I go to my car and connect the same files through the same service over bluetooth, and suddenly it's a different story.

Well I finally deleted my reddit account, and all of my subreddits, so I guess an introduction is in order!

Hi everybody! I'm an artist, and occasionally a writer. I wrote for a progressive publication for about 6 years, and learned a lot in the process, but haven't written much since. Here's an article I wrote in 2017 about decentralized social media. Please be kind, I had only been writing for a little over a year at that point! But let's focus on THIS point in time right now, the one where we are actually seeing what I wrote about come to pass. It is wonderful to see!

I went back to painting full-time 2-3 years ago, and never looked back, although I did pen an article about AI art during that time, and a blog post about the painting style I developed in 1993.

Here is an example of one of my paintings, it's called "The Lovers". I am loving being here!
[EDIT] Kbin is not letting me link an image, but the one I was going to link is the stickied post on my mastodon profile.
