Pod is a desktop music player which feels and looks like an iPod. Enjoy seamless navigation, haptic feedback, and stylish design, all without extra hardware. Listen to local music files, radio and soon Spotify.
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. A while ago something caught my eye...
An iPod. This seemed like a perfect opportunity 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.
Right now it works with local audio files, and today I'm adding radio support, allowing folks to add their favourite stations from all over the world.
Adding sync with a Spotify library is something I get requested a lot and am working hard at the moment to finish (Windows version is also coming up).
I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do. Would love some feedback!
I love the nostalgic vibe. What about the ability to play Music NFTs? Distribution and accessibility is the biggest problem with music NFTs how do we play them?
This sounds like such a fun and nostalgic way to experience music again! I love how you’re blending that classic iPod vibe with modern features like radio support and Spotify sync. How are you planning to ensure smooth syncing with Spotify for users with large music libraries?
always love music tools. great job on bringing back the analog feel.
list it on my user feedback community RealReview.Space ! use M1N1MAL10 for a discount.
It reminds me of the days when I used iPod. Looking forward to it adding sync with Spotify. Best of luck!
