I was just thinking about how much I missed this thing earlier. Beautiful design and interaction.

#33This is really cool. It’s amazing how “realistic” the clickwheel feels—it instantly transported me back to actually using an iPod. Also, there’s something poetic about emulating the clickwheel on the interface that replaced it :)
I still have my original iPods. The original and the mini chromatic ones. When I'm on the go and or in a gym and I need to play music, nothing beats a simple mp3 player. Don't want the bulk of the phone. Don't want to have to touch a phone screen and engage with it.
I'd rather just reach into my pocket and press buttons.

#34I miss how smooth those gradients look
This is so much more pleasant than flat interfaces.

#35How do you even get the _feel_ of the device so right? I'm perplexed, such a great project. I started using it unironically to play music, I'd totally pay for a Mac/iOS app haha.
I would pay for the app just to get the haptic feedback!

Could be due to Strict privacy settings?

I think smartwatches fill that niche now - at least those models with physical buttons. I'm actually impressed by how ergonomic the music listening experience on my Garmin is.

It’s not active live streaming, just downloading your playlists.

#40This is so well done. Such a pleasure to use. Responds just like an iPod Classic did to the point I find myself anticipating the click sound on the wheel.
Amazing work.
