This thing showed up in a click-bait feed.
So I searched it.
It apparently is a real concept project.

Frankly, I don't get it.

And I enjoy endless playlist browsing
It tickles my ADHD gene.

I just see a digital audio player using proprietary read-only memory cards floating atop a nostalgic marketing angle.  IMO they shoulda made it look like a cassette, not that it would prevent its inevitable market failure.
