Future iterations could include an integrated speaker and run libspotify to create a self-contained device. As this is a prototype, an Arduino reads the RFID tag, but needs a computer to actually play the Spotify playlist. Specific playlists are selected via small RFID tags that look like a cross between a MiniDisc and a vinyl record. Digital music has made keeping all your tunes with you a lot more convenient, but have we lost something with dematerialization? felt that there was something lacking with the digital music experience and designed a Spotify player with a tactile interface.
