A minimalist MP3 player for my grandmother.

The whole user interface is a single physical button on her desk :

- ON : indefinitely play all MP3 files randomly

- OFF : stop playing

The longest task was to find her favourite pieces of music from my aunts and uncles.

Fantastic :D this is what personalized tech mean! Not some privacy invasive, data harvesting, adware service...


Thank you.

I had fun making this little toy project, I felt like a software artisan assembling some simple existing pieces of hardware and software.

It's a refreshing change from complex professional projects that take months to complete.

And Mamie Colette loves it too !


What did you do for the enclosure/button?


That’s cute!


iPod Shuffle without copy files

EDIT: wait, after take a look at the repo you do remake iPod Shuffle


Yes, it's close to an iPod Shuffle but my grandmother cannot use an iPod Shuffle, it's too complicated for her with 5 (too small) buttons.


Love it! Well done!


This is so sweet!!
