Designed by Interaction Design student Jordi Parra for his final thesis project, the Spotify Player is named after the Swedish music streaming site Spotify. Founded in 2006, the site offers unlimited music from record labels like Warner, EMU and Universal.

Inspired by new and old technology, the Spotify Player is a retro-looking device that plays music from Spotify. It is equipped with chips that connects the listener's Spotify playlists. If you don't exactly understand how the Spotify Player works, I suggest you watch the informative video above.
