I don’t about you, but I, for one, used to be crazy about album covers of songs from different artists. I remember sitting down and adding album covers to all of my downloaded songs to display them on iTunes’ “cover flow” interface (ah! miss the old iTunes). Well now, a recording artist named Tom Vek has designed a unique square-shaped music player dedicated to album artworks of different songs.
The result is “Sleevenote”. A unique music player that is designed to showcase the album artworks of songs and artists. The device looks pretty cool with its sleek edges and iPad-like boxy design. It has an array of round media control buttons on one of the edges to avoid displaying any on-screen buttons on top of the beautiful artworks.
Moreover, the player will connect to popular music streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify and play the songs in your music library.
Now, apart from playing music, as the device is designed to display amazing graphic designs, Vek needed very high-res screens to showcase the artworks in all their glory. Well, he did manage to fit a very high-res display reproducing crisp colors. However, this led to a huge increase in the production cost of the device.
Personally speaking, I actually love the device due to my crazy obsession with album covers. However, I am not that of an audiophile to pay up that much for it. But if you are, then you can surely back the project to pre-book one for yourself. The creator plans to ship the orders starting from October 2021.
