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.
