Where’s the back button? - took me half a second to dust off memories. Also it’s uncannily snappy compared to how I remember it!
Might be because I never owned one myself, but I've always felt the interface incredibly clunky and the navigation hard to grasp. It's not something intuitive you know how to use just by looking at it.
Whilst it looks nice, is no one else concerned with passing details to some unknown site? It doesn't seem to have any direct way to make contact nor is there a privacy policy (nor is there anything obviously relevant in the GitHub repo for the code either)

Right, wearing an Apple Watch + AirPods is the modern iPod experience to me. I can leave my house without a smartphone and take a stroll or bike ride or skateboard etc with music. The Apple Watch crown provides that tactile feel missing from smartphones. I like how easy it is to turn up the volume by quickly rotating the crown up or down.
I have this setup and it’s a great vision. Unfortunately I personally find it needless hamstringed: 1) the Watch works great for every single one of my smartphone needs, but you are required to pair it with an iPhone that has a phone plan…even if you keep the iPhone turned off 95% of the time. 2) the AirPods fall out of my head when I smile. I’ve tried the different sizings. For such an expensive gadget, I expect to…

I think its because you never spent time with one. I always found them incredibly intuitive and easy to use.

I found cheap yet decent earbuds from Aliexpress and a cheap 3.5mm bluetooth receiver that solves the earbuds falling out of your ears problem. Every time I hear about issues people have with AirPods I'm so glad I went with this solution, and spent a fraction of the money too. If I pop the bluetooth receiver off the 3.5mm jack, I can use it with my (growing) iPod classic collection. The only reason I even use bluetoo…

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.
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.

I was debating getting a watch. Maybe I'll give this a try.
