It’s not user friendly. If you’re looking for something anywhere near intuitive as an iPod was, it’s a long way away.

That said, it’s mostly a firmware issue, so it can get there, but it needs a lot of work. I’m hopeful that it will be better in a few years.

Edit: To answer your question, it’s a cool bit of tech, and it can play music, but it’s of interest as a bit of tech and not as a music player.

As a note, Tangara is for tech people who happen to like music, not for people who like music generally. It might get there eventually, but it sure as hell didn’t launch like that.
