iPod Classic… but it streams. No mods. No hacks. No nostalgia compromise. I missed this: that simple, focused way of listening to music (no distractions, no endless scrolling) But: iPod = no streaming Modern apps = no soul So I built this An iOS app that brings back the iPod experience: • Apple Music as your streaming engine • Podcasts built-in • Import your own music (FLAC / ALAC) • Lossless + 7.1 + Spatial Audio • DSD64 / DSD128+ (USB DAC or PCM fallback Your iPhone. But it feels like an iPod again. English only (for now) More features + languages coming If you grew up with an iPod— this will hit different. Feedback welcome

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MPx Player at Free against NostEcho's $5.99. NostEcho's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
