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: β€’ Apple Music as your streaming engine β€’ Podcasts built-in β€’ Import your own music (FLAC / ALAC) β€’ Lossless + 7.1 + Spatial Audio β€’ 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 iPodβ€” this will hit different. Feedback welcome
