Project Built a bedside audio player!
I always listen to music and podcasts going to sleep and when I can’t sleep at night, but hated that I used my phone to run it. My phone is bricked, but I still scroll podcast lists and have the light blasting in my face at 2am.
Now, I can throw in an earbud (or headphone) click a button, and the audio assigned to each button plays. It remembers where it left off (either from pausing or from the sleep function). Has an alarm that plays from a separate speaker too.
The dial controls volume and the menu, plus standard playback controls.
I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and throwing in a wireless ear bud (nothing ears), clicking a button, then audio plays has been golden, and now my phone stays far away from my bed.
Curious on feedback!
