Re: I Built My Own Audio Player
#2This is a good read, admittedly haven't finished it yet. I like reading about the more granular details developers decide on and why.
I will say that I sympathize with the idea that ... I don't like any audio players that I've tried, but in the world of music apps the layout of screens and UI seem almost universal across them and ... I just don't like them / don't "get it".
I feel like I'm boxing with every music app ever...
I appreciate anyone who takes a shot at making something new.

#3Dang, I thought he had built his own hardware.
I'd still love to get a proper successor to the Sandisk Sansa Fuze, just with USB-C charging instead of its proprietary charging cable.
There's plenty of "luxury" /audiophile MP3 players out there which cost in the hundreds of dollars, but that one was in the sweet spot of bang-for-your-buck music player that I could just use for listening to music on long plane rides etc. without draining my smartphone battery.

#4It's interesting that most/all of the available tools for playing digital music, a well-known and very popular activity... suck. Do we think that's enshittification or product managers misunderstanding the market? In a normal universe one might otherwise expect it to be saturated with options.

I had been wanting something similar recently and ended up buying a Hifi Walker H2 and loading rockbox on it. Works great, and it’s a total nostalgia trip to be using rockbox again after so many years!
Wheels will always be the best way to navigate music libraries.

#6I wonder if one could build this in HTML, so there is no need to install anything.
On both iOS and Android, HTML can play videos and mp3s while the screen is turned off. So maybe it is possible?

They specifically ditched react-native because of their requirements regarding file system traversal, so this is definitely not something that could have been done in-browser.
