resurrecting my old phone as a music player i guess

nvm the battery is completely empty, so it won't turn on even connected to a charger

one of the things that bothers me the most with bluetooth headphones is the fact they're recompressing lossy audio in another (shittier) codec

Follow

@unascribed the standard allows for the two devices to agree on any codec so in an ideal world you could just stream the raw audio files

@unascribed obvs no one does that because it'd be a bit more effort to figure out and make reliable

@noiob and also the only storage codec supported by headphones (and only a very small number of them) is AAC

@unascribed I mean you could theoretically include more decoders, that's allowed
