MP3 to Old School Components.

No devices available that can play MP3's through a component system, aside of using a Blu-Ray player & TV to interface?  

 

Was thinking an old laptop with adapter may suffice, would not want this to be "online" though. 

 

Would have thought a small component with USB input would be available with standard audio out.

    Yeah, something like that, what I envision would be a small component with a USB port, possibly a small graphic display for navigation.... like a cassette deck/CD player component though.  Probably ran through a tape loop monitor on the amp, output only.  

     

    One would think something like that would be available, but likely the phone surpassed it.

    This has already been asked, but where are the MP3s stored at this time? Are they on your computer, a thumb drive, an external storage device?

     

    For me I have my music on a thumb drive for use in my vehicle. I also have the music on another thumb drive that is plugged into my smart TV for playing on it. My music, MP3s, are also backed up on both of my WDMYCLOUDS.

     

    When you say Old School Components, what do you have?

    I've been keeping them on thumb Drives, some backed up on DVD ROM, & of course I have thumb Drives for each of the vehicles. Memory is getting cheap eventually thumb drive backups of the thumb drives.

     

    I was thinking the modern receivers may have a USB input for this purpose, though I just prefer my early 80's vintage Pioneer receiver. ,

    @Tempest332 

    I have a Pioneer surround sound system. It's several years old. Any time I play my music through my TV the sound is played through my receiver. My receiver does not have any USB inputs.
