Fiio Snowsky Echo Mini Quick Show
In today's video I take a look at a fun new Digital Audio Player from Snowsky. It is a little guy that is made to look and act like a retro portable cassette player. I apologize for the lousy focus, I had to zoom way in to show details and it just killed the image quality. My overhead mount won't support the weight of my new "good" camera so it's really the best I can do. I tried to fix it in post production but to no avail. I'm also dialing in my new microphone setup, but for a first attempt, I'd say the audio turned out at least acceptable.
Here's a link to the product page from the manufacturer if you're interested. I got mine on Amazon.

UPDATE: After applying the latest firmware, I am now able to set it to shuffle across my entire music library regardless of the folders.
MORE UPDATES: I just ordered an overhead rig that can support 20lbs and a diopter kit so no more garbage digital overhead zoom! Sorry again for the quality on this one! Yucko!
