A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.

Step 1: make a low power FM station Step 2: use this to listen Step 3: profit!

Heh. Carry around 3 devices:

An MP3 player or my phone for Spotify, one of those portable FM transceiver things, and this GameBoy radio. Use the transceiver to get my music from the MP3 player/phone to blast over the air on an empty band, and tune the radio to that channel.

Couldn't be simpler!
