I'm super excited for when this starts shipping! I might ask my parents to purchase one in the future. Because it's easily extensible, I hope that someone creates a script or application to save listening history as scrobbles to be sent to track listening trackers like Last.fm, ListenBrainz, and Maloja. (Learned about the latter from Multi-scrobbler self-hosted webapp)Tangara is a portable music player. It outputs high-quality sound through a 3.5 mm headphone jack or Bluetooth, has great battery life, and includes a processor that’s powerful enough to support any audio format you can throw at it. It’s also 100% open hardware running open-source software, which makes it easy to customize, repair, and upgrade. Tangara plays what you want to hear, however you want to hear it.
I had watched a ton of videos on iPods, their modding, and separating elements of a phone into distinct parts, so seeing a good option for a modern physical music player is wonderful!
