It's a bit more bulky (classic iPod sized), but check out Tangara: <https://www.crowdsupply.com/cool-tech-zone/tangara https://www.crowdsupply.com/cool-tech-zone/tangara>. Stock, easily replaceable parts, USB-C+3.5mm+BT, SDXC slot with 2TB limit, standard lipo battery, OSS & hackable firmware that's difficult to brick, basically every bit of it is designed to last decades.
- novagameco 3y agoThe build quality looks really cheap. Since it's only a kickstarter, I assume the 3D printed case is only for prototyping, but it doesn't look like it would last very long. For $250 I would expect a much better case than that

- rollcat 3y agoI think it could be a very good target for a Rockbox port, however they very specifically emphasize Lua and hackability among their goals (check out the UI code samples); they're also developing the hardware+software platforms in tandem, I'm not even sure if Rockbox supports Wifi or BT.
- aos 3y agoWas also curious, so I did some digging. This is the inventor’s thoughts on this: https://chaos.social/@jacqueline/111869403759610817 https://chaos.social/@jacqueline/111869403759610817
