There are quite a number of Radio 2 presenters who I cannot stand and
looks as if it might get worse from the people chosen as stand-ins when
the main presenters are off so likely to step up to being main
presenters in the future.
I was putting a CD on but remembered my old MP3 player so have been
listening to that on a BT loudspeaker.
I thought I would try it with the Roberts Stream 94i, this has Bluetooth
and can feed it from my tablet computer but it does not even show the presence of my MP3 player. As far as I can some BT devices are
"receivers" and some "transmitters". The tablet and MP3 are
"transmitters" and the Roberts and BT loudpeaker are "receivers". So
why does the Roberts not recognise the MP3 player?
Is there a way to switch the MP3 player into discoverable mode?

Smooth (if it still exists) goes out on area/regional DAB muxes, but
Smooth Extra (still in mono?) goes out on a national mux as DAB+. Even Classic doesn't do that!
I am tending towards Smooth and Classic FM as background music.

That's fine if you understand German; I use Swiss Classique (French)

On my bedside radio I usually have Ancient FM or Otto's Baroque. I
find this sort of station ideal for going to sleep by, as the music is >pleasant but undemanding, and there is no language at all to disturb
what I'm reading or thinking about, just the music itself.

There are quite a number of Radio 2 presenters who
I cannot stand and looks as if it might get worse
from the people chosen as stand-ins when the main
presenters are off so likely to step up to being
main presenters in the future.
I was putting a CD on but remembered my old MP3
player so have been listening to that on a BT
loudspeaker.
I thought I would try it with the Roberts Stream
94i, this has Bluetooth and can feed it from my
tablet computer but it does not even show the
presence of my MP3 player. As far as I can some
BT devices are "receivers" and some
"transmitters". The tablet and MP3 are
"transmitters" and the Roberts and BT loudpeaker
are "receivers". So why does the Roberts not
recognise the MP3 player?

Quite a few computer protocols are "one-way" in practice, even though
they don't need to be necessarily.
Practically, does your Roberts list other things
than the tuner(s) as audio sources? Is there some
way of selecting a Bluetooth input? If not, the
chances are it can't be done.
I'm not sure that HDMI is supposed to be
bi-directional, but it certainly isn't on my
television
There are older versions of Bluetooth and many are not supported by the
newer ones. The sound quality of Bluetooth can be pretty dire and have a lot of latency as well. I really don't understand why we still use it named as
it is after a king in Norway. I think if my surname was bluetooth I'd change it.

The Roberts lists tablet, laptop, mobile phone and I think something
else but never the MP3 player.
It is a great pity that it does not have a Bluetooth output that could
feed a BT loudspeaker.
Obviously there is handshaking involved, but USB (protocol), or some implementations of it, can be similar. I'm not sure that HDMI is
supposed to be bi-directional, but it certainly isn't on my television,
evn though it is supposed to be able to feed some sort of multichannel amplifier (er "AV"? - how these terms get muddled).
I don't have access to these standards any more. You can network
(TCP/IP) over Bluetooth, so the hardware is capable of it, but I suspect devices identify themselves with specific characteristics (SCSI is like this), and "sending" devices probably have no ability to receive.
Frustratingly in the car it's the same: the phone function is obviously bi-directional, but the other audio stuff isn't. That'll be down to the 'device class' of one end or t'other.

It continually frustrates me that tv sets such as my Bravia have BT as a source, but do not transmit. I would find it very useful to be able to receive BT from the telly on my hearing aids.
