Hi... I'm keen to limit DD screen time .. she's 14 and using increasingly.... She has a wonderful habit of dancing before bedtime and argues, convincingly, that she needs her Spotify playlist on her phone..... We have a rule no screens for an hour before bedtime....

What can I do??? All ideas more than welcome....

A squeezebox radio (or similar), so she can use her spotify login?

Old school mp3 and speakers? You can probably pick up a second hand ipod or non apple equivalent quite cheaply. Although music will have to be downloaded not streamed.

I'm afraid I only listen via phone or tablet.

I have one, it's awesome. You can also listen to any internet radio channel out there, podcasts, the lot. The model is discontinued now but I'm sure there are similar products being made. I mentioned this brand because you might be able to find one second hand.
