Do you think I am able to build a Tangara? - Leo - 2025-10-19
Hi,
so I've been looking into buying a mp3 player for some time mainly because I want to leave streaming services. I am looking for a very specific device... It should not have a touch screen, should support bluetooth and that's just my preference be a bit chunky. People often recommend for example the Hifi Walker but something about the design bugs me probably the decentered scroll wheel, idk. The Tangara on the other hand seems to check all my boxes.
I have no experience with coding or soldering or any of that sort and I don't really have the time to get into it. Do you think I will be able to build this on my own? If yes I would really appreciate some advice on where to start because I am completely lost.
(I don't want to waist money on this if it will not work in the end)
Thanks

Considering your lack of experience and desire to learn things such as soldering and coding, my answer would be no. I am starting to build one (just ordering the parts) but I have a lot of fiddly lab experience and coding experience and I am still not certain I will be 100% successful. You are better off getting an alternative for now.
