Show HN: I Reinvented the iPod but for Desktop

5 points by Iskrata a day ago

Hey HN,

I'm a student shipping projects on my nights & weekends (today is no other)

Music is a huge aspect of my life. I appreciate tons of artists and constantly search for a new way to experience it. Then something catches my eye...

An iPod. This seemed like a perfect way to have fun while listening to music + the added mindfulness of intentionally selecting an album.

Sadly, it's a no go in 2025. Lack of Bluetooth, Spotify sync and high prices was a deal-breaker for me.

That's why I decided to build an iPod player for your desktop. Yup, you heard it right.

From the prototype as I was just starting with Swift until now, I've been in love with it and even have a small community of people who like it too!

Right now it works with local audio files, and today I'm launching internet radio support!

A couple of folks are demanding Spotify syncing, which is an ongoing process, but should be here very soon (Windows version is also coming up).

I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do. Would love some feedback!
