I’m fucking retarded when it comes to understanding tech shit and I said that from the beginning. No fucking Ring cameras at my house. Ain’t gonna get me on tape whooping some niggers ass in my front yard.
Do you want to live in a microwave or what? Cell towers, 5G, smart meters, radar, doppler, and that's not even including home internet wifi and EMFs from wall outlets.
One day I’m going to find or buy a small laptop and just download and curate all my music to one single location. Like an iPod or computer of sorts. Perhaps Windows XP since there was nothing wrong with that operating system.
Then I can aux or blutoof it to the nice Bose speaker. So sick of ads and refuse to use streaming services.

Funds, you’ve sold me on the NAS idea.
How would I access the music? Like, let’s say I am on THIS iPad tablet and want to play the music from the Bluetooth speaker, would I be accessing the music from a private webpage in a web browser?
When you set up your NAS, it is technically a computer with a hard drive and a network share. It is running a lightweight Linux style web server.
You would name it "music nas" and give it a static IP on your network like 192.168.1.150
Now, most devices/tvs let you add "media servers" so you would just go to your "media servers" tab and add 192.168.1.150 as your local server.
You might need to use a 3rd party app to access the media there like Infuse/VLC/Plex.
So iPad opens the app Infuse, you configure infuse to look at the location inside your network for a computer named music nas at IP 192.168.1.150 then it uses that as the location repository for music.
If uploading from a windows PC, you'll go to run-> \\192.168.1.150 to see the unc share and drag and drop music or go to a web site interface https://192.168.1.150 to login and upload there.
Remember 192.168.1.150 is arbitrary, it has to match your network schema. Use a subnet calculator to find an ip available in your network if you don't know how or just post again and everyone will help.
No, its a 512GB thumbdrive. ie memory stick. I ripped all my vinyl to it because I like the nuanced (warm) sound of the records. Rather than rip my CDs or tapes, I downloaded MP3 torrents of those along with many many others.
