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: TuneSync at Free against NostEcho's $5.99. TuneSync also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). NostEcho's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
