Why did you make it?

Portable music players once defined the way we experienced music. While smartphones dominate today, many people still crave a dedicated device focused purely on sound quality and simplicity.

I wanted to combine retro charm with modern quality, creating a standalone music player that feels premium in hand, has excellent build quality, and provides a distraction-free listening experience.

What makes it special?

Premium Build: CNC-machined aluminum alloy, solid and durable.

Refined Finish: Teal-black anodized surface, scratch-resistant and stylish.

High-Quality Display: Clear, bright, and sharp screen for smooth navigation.

Hi-Fi Sound: Supports multiple lossless audio formats (FLAC, WAV, APE, MP3).

Compact & Elegant: Pocket-sized with a nostalgic yet modern design.

Open-Source Roots: Based on the FakePodNano open hardware project – hackable and community-friendly.

This makes it not just a music player, but also a collector’s piece for DIY enthusiasts, retro tech lovers, and anyone who values pure, high-quality audio in a compact form.
