@patcharcana I suddenly want to write code to turn my Tangara into a Tamagochi.

v2.1.0 - cool-tech-zone/tangara-fw

Hi! This is a small release with some important bug fixes, as well as an exciting new feature for people who prefer to organise and browse their music using a directory structure rather than file tags. If you haven't flashed a v2.0.0+ release yet, please remember YOU MUST USE TANGARA COMPANION...

Finally got my FAKE POD NANO! I thought I'd post some pics of it. I really love this thing so much... Going without one for so long was rough. Since the #Tangara isn't currently obtainable, it's definitely a pretty reasonable alternative to that. Testing it out on the amazing @[email protected] of course, in some old Sennhesier Urbanites

"For storage, #Tangara relies on a full-size SD card, which means you can easily add up to 2 TiB (!) of capacity to your device. And, assuming you don’t need quite that much room, you can find inexpensive SD cards just about anywhere in the world."

Ahhh and afaik maintainer of this project is on mastodon: @jacqueline

Tangara

The music player you wish you had in the early 2000s

I finally went back to @hive76.bsky.social after work last night to print off some buttons for the Tangarine faceplate for my #tangara, and recently got the new holographic sleeve for my #mntpocketreform. Building up my collection of shiny modified open hardware devices :D
Not a joke, I just submitted a new PCB off to @aislerhq . Should it work (fingers crossed) it will be a mod to the #tangara.
Can someone help me with my #tangara ? It won't let me add anything to it. I've added things in the past somehow but now it says "this file is read-only"

Okay, I give up: Is it possible to get a new #tangara these days, and if so: Where?

I mean, it's a _kind_ of baller to still be carrying around an iPod Classic everywhere I go (and syncing with iTunes 10.7 (I have so many reasons) in a VirtualBox installation of windows XP on Ubuntu), but...
...I dunno. I feel like I'm right in the middle of the middle of the target audience for their whole deal, and I still can't figure out how to get in on it.

I've finally gotten around to reviewing my #tangara music player, which I think you can no longer buy.
