Bluetooth MCU for Music Application?

[Erolpxe]

I'm looking at designing my own Bluetooth Receiver essentially. Playing music from my phone to a Bluetooth receiver, to output via AUX.

I was looking at the range of MCU's for this application however I'm a bit undated with information and need a push in the right direction.

Does anyone have any recommendations on which Nordic Bluetooth MCU that would just simply receive the music from a phone and then output it.

I appreciate any help, just hoping someone with more experience and insight than me can give me a direction to look into.

Note that all Nordic's chips are BLE - not "Classic" Bluetooth.

So, unless you're working at the "bleeding edge" with the new BLE Audio, the Nordic chips are not for you.

Thanks for your comment. Interesting the only suggestion from that thread is a chip that hasn't even been released yet. Makes me curious to find out what is inside this receiver https://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/bluetooth-audio-adapter that has been on the market for a few years now.

As noted in that thread, there are plenty of chips/modules available - it's getting the documentation, support, continuity of supply, etc that's the difficult thing.

As noted there, the manufacturers of these kinds of things tend to deal directly with OEMs producing stuff in the millions - they don't tend to deal with the general catalogue distributors.
