Refurbished iPod classics go for $150 and up and there are no new battery options, this also open hardware using standard parts that can be replaced. Ask @gourd about using old iPod hardware right now

@neckspike @jacqueline @gourd I still have old iPod hardware around - I have a rough idea how much fun it is to use them.

And yes, I was too harsh in my wording.

@heals @jacqueline I'm very excited about it because I've wanted something like this for the last ~5 years but there's really nothing on the market unless you want to fuck with 20 year old hardware. Audiophile DAPs are $500+ and basically a phone without a sim card, the cheap options break as soon as you look at them (have had several Clip+ that powered on less than 5 times before bricking forever and getting returned).

@neckspike @jacqueline people would probably murder me if I said “I'm excited about it despite of my comment this morning” even if I am :facepalm:

I get where you're coming from

Also yeah the post was for the dozens of us who have been following @jacqueline & co's development of the Tangara for months, it's not a full pitch for a kit that's not quite ready to start a campaign.
