""It's great to see younger generations who [didn't] experience the iPod the first time around finding out about it and being like: That sounds like a great idea," says musician and startup founder Tom Kell."
""The user interfaces of all of these digital music players are shockingly bad," he says. "Most are essentially just Android phones with the phone stuff removed.""
""We're pro whole albums," Kell says. "We want you to focus on one album at a time.""
The 25th anniversary of the iPod has sparked renewed interest in MP3 players, with Google searches for 'MP3 Player' tripling and a popular Reddit group attracting 90,000 weekly visitors. Younger generations are discovering the iPod's appeal, despite Apple discontinuing the last model in 2022. Musician Tom Kell criticizes existing alternatives for poor user interfaces and has initiated the development of a new MP3 player called Sleevenote, which emphasizes album art and a focused listening experience.
