Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
While not current, I would buy a Sansa e2xx V1. It should be very inexpensive even with an 8Gb Micro SD card. Accessories have even a better price.
I tend to concur with this. Having recently bought and returned for a refund, a rather expensive Sony Walkman X1000. Kept it for about 3 days. Very disappointed with this player. No gapless playback, no lossless codec support, no Ogg/Vorbis, no games, and worse of all no Rockbox.
what a bummer. Is there anyplace we can all send a letter to hardware manufacturers asking them to use rockbox as their factory interface (and explaining why they will save money on development) or at least open the drivers so that those of us who want can install rockbox?
1) They control what's in the firmware, so a lower perceived chance of inviting a patent suit or copyright infringement suit if it turns out not all code really was legal.2) Don't have to provide their code to someone else (including potential competitors) if they want to include specific features we don't.3) Don't get stuck providing support (or at least, constantly saying they don't provide support) for third-party software because that third party software now seems "official" to users.4) Don't have to deal with users complaining about the features they removed from Rockbox (which they invariably will, either over patent fears or over a desire to 'turn off' features that aren't completely stable yet).5) Don't have to let someone else control their user experience.Etc, etc.
