A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
I don't get the appeal of a single-purpose device like this when smartphones are practically mandatory.
But I dont wanna use my phone. Usually, I try to keep that as far away as possible.
We have this debate every time the topic of DAPs, e-readers or mobile gaming devices come up. "wHy d0n't yOu jU5t uSe y0uR pH0n3?"
I love it. Thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard about this.
Could it run Rockbox ? My iPods and sansa run with rockbox, it's awesome.
How large a library can it handle? I've had two others similar but they parsed files so slowly as to be ultimately useless
Tangara also has basic Bluetooth SBC audio support, with more modern codecs possible via future firmware updates.
Well SBC is basically useless so I hope the development is not too far away in the future. I see it's Bluetooth v4.2 but as far as I know the best codec available compresses down to 1 Mbps but v4.2 supports up to 3Mbps and v5 up to 6 Mbps so still room for improvements but that's up to headphone manufacturers to support these future codec.
Ideally there would be zero bluetooth support and this would be catered to the HIFI crowd, with only 3.5mm jack supported.
At least until we get a HIFI successor to bluetooth.
Link saved. Definitely gonna see how this progresses so I might get one in the future.
Lots of people complaining about the software. Why did they even bother writing software? Does it run rockbox?
Because they wanted to. It's a passion project meant for certainly not everyone and made by a very small team of people.
Sure, but if they have fewer people then why reinvent the wheel? The open hardware is new and great, but the open software already exists.
What was the thinking behind full sized SDXC cards instead of micro sdxc like damn near every other device made this side of 2011?
I suspect due to them being easier to handle and easy to plugs into laptops that still have an SD card reader. Since most Micro SD cards come with a full size adapter anyway, it doesn't really seem to have any downside to go with fullsize.
You can adapt a micro sd into a full-sized right?
