I'm desperately trying to publish a blog article about this topic for half a year now :-)

Maybe I'll never get it done, there is so much to cover... from

- what I know about iPods

- why modern Android Phones still can't compete in my opinion

- why the Apple Earpods can't change volume on Android devices and vice versa (https://tinymicros.com/wiki/Apple_iPod_Remote_Protocol)

- how you can harvest Earpods remote to create a durable good sounding headset using the right pinout

- that OneMore seems to have implemented the Apple Remote Protocol without anyone noticing

- why I wrote my own command line cross platform audio tagger (https://github.com/sandreas/tone)

- why I self-host my audio stuff

- and why nobody seems to care about an audio everything solution (music, audio books, podcasts, etc.)

So, let's hope I'll find the time :-)
