   IT'S HEREEEEEEEE!!!!! #Tangara

   I'd play with it right now, but the device is a bit cold so I'll be nice to it and let it thaw out before powering it up lol

     I'm a fan of #Tangara, if only because it introduced me to beets.

     Figures that the FOSS community would eventually make a music organization tool that far exceeds the functionality and performance of every godawful, bloated proprietary music app that has come before.

     Took me most of the night to get my music library imported into beets and copied/converted over to the SD for my #Tangara. But I'm listening to music now! :meong_dance:

     I'm also grateful for #Tangara for creating an opening to rediscover artists and albums from my past that I haven't listened to in years.

     The main issues I have with #Tangara right now:

     - Playlist support?
     - Lacking features for "now playing" queue
     - I can apparently add music to the queue, but I have no idea what's actually in the queue, or have any ability to edit it
     - Can't save the queue as a playlist
     - The queue isn't persistent (gets lost if the system reboots or powers down)
     - There is no repeat mode for the queue. As in, I can repeat a single track, but not an album.

     After using my #Tangara for the first time, I have a lot of ideas for improvements, mainly of the UI. It's definitely a V1.0 thing, but that's not a surprise, nor a criticism. What they've managed to make so far is impressive. Delivering on an idea like this is far beyond anything I have done.

     I might see if I can get a dev environment set up, to see if I can manage to fix some of the issues I see instead of merely playing "Monday morning quarterback" to the project.

     @jacqueline @malcircuit one of those companies where the most effective way to get you to do something is to call you out on social media, I see
