The Chromecast cost about £20 and this cost almost £1000 it's not really an alternative is it.

What are you actually trying to achieve with it? An Echo Dot or Echo Input can stream bluetooth audio from another device, and both have a 3.5 mm jack.

Play BBC radio from my phone using the listen again Andriod app

Really? Says who? I'd be most upset if this is the case

Bluetooth quality is terrible, it's not the same as Chromecast.

I was interested to know if bluetooth was the same quality thanks. Yes they're not made any more one sold on ebay for £220 !

Chromecast are made just not the Chromecast Audio.

Hmm can't find any reference to the ones I saw. Can do a Raspberry Pi Zero W and an audio hat for about £20, then stick it wherever you like.

I'm a bit hopless with programming and stuff but please tell me what the audio hat is
