2. You seem to keep some strange hours. None of my business, of course.

I was using an iPad Air 2 or whatever, to play internet music.

It couldn't be updated enough to either run the Live365 app, nor even play in the browser. It worked great on everything else I was listening to.

I looked at it and the screen had pulled away from the case. OOPS. Looks like the battery swelled up. I just cleaned it out for electronics recycling. taking no chances. Batteries do explode. Just ask Elon (and he'll always blame the customer)

I'm using he newer iPad Pro right now, hooked up to the really good speakers and a decent amplifier.

That's supposed to be for music scores only, but I'll make it work a bit harder than intended.

Old ipads and iphones are great for streaming music. But they do eventually quit or apps refuse to run on them as updates cease.

Listen to classical music on the best speakers you can afford. They really make a difference.
