Tangara is a portable music player. It outputs high-quality sound through a 3.5-mm headphone jack or Bluetooth, has great battery life, and includes a processor that's powerful enough to support any audio format you can throw at it. It's also 100% open hardware running open-source software, which makes it easy to customize, repair, and upgrade.

CrowdSupply#

Ran a campaign on CrowdSupply, where I pre-ordered in February 2024. I received the player in mid December 2024.

Tangara Companion#

Tool for updating firmware, both graphical and CLI tooling https://github.com/haileys/tangara-companion

Other things to explore#

• Lua scripting - likely not for me, but will be interesting to see what other people come up with!
• Assembly / Disassembly - yes, I'd love a custom printed case!
• Themes - it's a colour screen so you can do Lua stuff with it

Personal Setup#

I'm keeping notes at [[Tangara Setup]]
