Ipod Snapshot

A web recreation of the 5th-generation iPod nano: Click Wheel, menus, Now Playing, Cover Flow, and playback of music, videos, and photos from a folder on this computer.

The 5th-generation iPod nano is a beloved device, but it's no longer supported by Apple. I wanted to create a snapshot of it for posterity.

• Navigate the Click Wheel and menus.
• Play music, videos, and photos from a folder on this computer.
• View the Now Playing screen.
• View the Cover Flow screen.
• View the iPod Nano 5th generation in all its glory.
• FM-style tuner over internet radio streams.
• Shuffle all music in the folder.
• Settings — About, Library, Shuffle, Repeat, EQ, backlight, brightness, clicker, finish color.

• Built with Expo SDK 57 and React Native.
• Uses Zustand for state management.
• Uses Expo Audio for audio playback.
• Uses Expo Video for video playback.
• Uses Docker for containerization.

• Use Expo SDK 57 and React Native because it's the most compatible with the iPod Nano 5th generation.
• Use Zustand for state management because it's a lightweight state management library.
• Use Expo Audio for audio playback because it's a lightweight audio library.
• Use Expo Video for video playback because it's a lightweight video library.
• Use Docker for containerization because it's a lightweight containerization library.

• Some song names, album names, and artist names don't display correctly in the Now Playing screen.
• Copyright restrictions on some songs prevent them from being played.
