Always cool to see ‘retro’ tech brought back, especially with major overhauls. Kinda wish Apple still did dedicated ‘dumb’ MP3 players, if I’m being honest.

I've seen a few open hardware projects for "dumb" MP3 players over the years. I found this article on the Tangara project and am tempted to build one.

Edit: Scrolled down and saw someone already posted this.

Bet you could manage with a microcontroller and some parts. Use a bare chip, solder it all fancy (might take a few tries, use something cheap, order in bulk, attach the big expensive drive last), print the case, etc. Bet there's even a guide out there somewhere.

Yeah it’s nice to have the built in OS support though

Yeah that'd be nice, but, lost technology; no longer exists.

Build it yourself or get nothing.
