It also seems like the Bluetooth receiver needs power. I was hoping to buy a little thing like the transmitter to receive. No such luck, that I could find anyway. I wanted something I could move around with smaller speakers. I ended up buying a new Bluetooth speaker.

The thing you have to be careful when purchasing Bluetooth adapters for audio is whether you want to receive or transmit. This makes the entire difference in what you get. If you want to use your iPhone for example to play music to a speaker or a headphone which is not Bluetooth, then you want to get a Bluetooth audio receiver. Now, if you want to do the other way around, like you want to play music from a non-bluetooth device, like the NLS player, a Victor Reader Stream, the lesser Book Sense, or a cheap MP3 player, then you want to get a Bluetooth audio transmitter. The receiver will receive audio from a bluetooth device such as an iPhone, the transmitter will send from a non-bluetooth device to Bluetooth speakers. I hope I didn't cause confusion, but I've seen too many reviews from online places where people give bad reviews because they want to transmit, but buy a receiver, or the other way around. Below are links to first a transmitter, then a receiver. Transmitter, this is the one you connect to a device which does not have Bluetooth and you want to listen to its audio from a Bluetooth speaker. http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics%C2%AE-TT-BA01-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Players /dp/B004B8GF7Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1377086493&sr=8-3&keywords=audio+bluet ooth+transmitter Receiver, this is the device which listens to Bluetooth output from a Bluetooth device like an iPhone. You would connect this device to non-bluetooth listening gear, like stereos or headphones/speakers which don't have Bluetooth. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006IJJH7O -- Raul A.
