Looking for a decent portable music player

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
As a note, Tangara is for tech people who happen to like music, not for people who like music generally. It might get there eventually, but it sure as hell didn't launch like that.
Source: got one for my spouse. It sits in a drawer.
I'm curious, what about it makes it for tech people who like music?
It's not user friendly. If you're looking for something anywhere near intuitive as an iPod was, it's a long way away.
That said, it's mostly a firmware issue, so it can get there, but it needs a lot of work. I'm hopeful that it will be better in a few years.
Edit: To answer your question, it's a cool bit of tech, and it can play music, but it's of interest as a bit of tech and not as a music player.
