I have 16 smart speakers/groups in Google home. I was thinking about getting a JBL charge 5 for when I want some music in my shop or on the patio. I can get the JBL free from work so it doesn't have to be that one, but free is nice. I cast to my smart speakers fine, but there's no way to cast and also keep the music playing through my phone, correct? Does this mean I cannot stream to the Bluetooth speaker and other speakers unless I pair the Bluetooth speaker to one of the Google devices? This would mean the Google speaker would stop casting.

It seems like Pandora fundamentally cannot adjust my stations to give me the music I want. Normally it doesn't bother me, but this one was so specific it's really getting on my nerves. I have a meditation radio. It plays every morning throughout all speakers in the house. I just want one thing, no wooden flute music. I've been down voting wooden flute music for weeks and I just keep getting wooden flute music. Are down votes not as effective as up votes? Or do you just accept that Pandora is going to give you whatever it wants regardless of how you vote? Are any other services better at tailoring to your tastes?
