In today's rapidly evolving digital music landscape, there is a growing demand for a device that provides a truly intimate and immersive listening experience. While technological advancements have significantly enhanced music playback quality, the essence of a deliberate and meaningful listening experience is often lost amidst the connivence. The oversaturation of technology and the ease of accessing music instantly can leave many feeling overwhelmed and digitally fatigued. 

This project addresses this issue by reimagining the traditional music streaming device. The solution needed to not only offer a premium user experience, but also encourage a deeper connection between the music and the listener. This device aims to foster a more deliberate and tactile interaction, promoting a sense of presence and intentional engagement. 

This innovative music streamer features ferrofluid that moves to the rhythm of the music, providing a mesmerizing visual element that enhances the listening experience. Additionally, it incorporates tactile controls, allowing users to interact with their music in a more physical and engaging manner like that of vinyl, making you think twice about skipping songs out of habit. These features work together to create a more intentional and immersive experience, helping users to be more present and connected with their music.
