You want (and you got) a Bluetooth RECEIVER, which you plug in to an amplifier or speaker (just like you'd plug in a tape deck or a CD player or an iPod...) and it RECEIVES the Bluetooth sound that some Bluetooth TRANSMITTER is sending out.

Some devices, like my smartphone, and an Echo or Dot, can do both functions, either acting as speaker, or sending sound to another speaker.
But often, as Yolina said at the top of this page, they can't do both at the same time.
That's the baby language I needed . Hubby says thank you too.
