The GROOVESTRAP is a T-shaped handy thang that hooks onto an external 2.5-inch external Hard Drive and converts it to a useful interim MP3 player. Kinda getting you back into the groove with your music on the go. It features a knob on both the sides of the T, to be used as controls for volume and track shifting. Totally digging its minimal style coupled with utilitarian approach.

I would use one of these in my car in a heartbeat! Can anyone well-versed in embedded OS comment on the feasibility?

Don't hold your breath, HDD's take a lot of power – way more than a small device like that could provide for a long time. but i don't see any reason why the firmware for a device like this wouldn't be able to work
Seems cool because you could in theory use up to 1TB of songs. im thinking that just 2 wheels "to be used as controls for volume and track shifting" might be insufficient in sorting that. and the size seems like overkill to me, has anyone seriously filled a classic 160GB Ipod with just music?
Liking the looks of it though. somehow reminds me of Wall-E :P.

I like this – something that can actually be made. I am unsure of the market potential, however. This would functionally compete with iPods, smart phones, etc.
Basically, it takes the non powered USB hard drive that you may already have (which is limited to 2.5W power consumption max) and turns it into a first generation iPod (which was a mechanical hard drive with a sleek wrapper). Physically feasible but will no doubt require some compromise to get enough energy storage for the desired battery life performance.
Nicely done.

Love the design, add the ability to run off mains, plus an HDMI (or an AV out) out port and the design could also run as a video player for any telly. Take your films with you…

Aren’t hard drives (especially hard drive mp3 players) mre than a bit passé by now? This device itself looks bigger than many music players, not including the hard drive.
I guess it’s a good way to reuse old, low capacity hard drives you don’t know what to do with?

you will never see this product in real life. if it ever gets produced then one of the big corporations will buy it then squash it like a bug!
Seems like it would work better with a SSD, because SSD’s kick more ass, are faster, and less power-hungry. I think this product would make a very successful Kickstarter campaign.
