Update! I've done some poking around and documented it a bit:

Demo'ing my fave new music player, the FAKE POD NANO! And who better to sample it on than @Jyoti of course.

The best digital audio player I have found - and it's still janky. 😅 #GetPumped #Music

Critical software error / battery issue.

That Sony voice recorder is cool. High contrast, responsive screen. Pop-out USB-A plug.

Who's got a solid, quality #MP3 player recommendation?

Initial thoughts on the FAKE_POD_NANO:

Really solid construction so far. I'm not super worried about it breaking, and even if it did, it looks easy-ish to fix.
Sound quality is GREAT!! The amoled display looks super crisp too.
Only took maybe 15 minutes to figure out how to switch it to English.
Can't figure out how OTA updates work. It connects through BT for a split second, then disconnects again. And the firmware flasher on OSHWhub requires a login to download.
The "can only read 1 subfolder deep" thing is pretty annoying.
AFAICT it seems to have a pretty low cap for the total number of files? If true, this is gonna be THE main problem for me… I have a lottttt of music…
Unsure yet if it supports playlist files? It seems to just treat whatever songs happen to be in a folder as a playlist, and has no other way to organize them. Like it can't seem to play-all a specific artist, or even really care much about metadata in general.
Documentation is verrryyyy sparse, even if you can translate it.

The cool kids sport a "DAP - Digital Audi Player", as a "mp3-player" is so last century. Right?

At least I have a cool machine, and can listen to music and feel a bit hip.

put some washi tape on our DAP (inspired by @mynotaurus (sorry i'm too lazy to look up the post, she did a better job than be because i can't use scissors))

not sure how much i like this, i thought it was gonna look differently (mostly because i thought i could get the other diagonal with the tape on the sides somehow)
