Best platform for Rockbox?
Roadster:
I'd like to know this as well. I've had an iRiver H320 for over two years, and the battery is slowly dying, so it'll need replacing soon. As a Rockbox player it was pretty much perfect (for me), apart from the bulky size.
I was thinking of going for a 5.5 iPod, but from what I've read the battery life is poor when running Rockbox. Any other alternatives?

You could just replace the battery... I've not done the battery in mine yet but I have done the HDD and both the HDD and Battery in an H120 - honestly not that difficult - there are good instructions over on mistic river.
Of course if you just want an excuse to buy a new toy, that's a different matter !
Chronon:
As long as you don't care about recording the Gigabeat F series are quite nice units with decent battery life.

I've been looking at HW that might be used to build my own mp3 player.
(any hw geeks out there?). The Atmel AVR32 cpu might have enough horsepower, and it does run Linux. The NGW100 is a low cost development platform ($89 kit at Digikey) and has 32mb of dram and 8mg flash on board. The cpu has interfaces for LCD, USB (high speed), 2x 10/100 ethernet, audio DAC (16bit stereo at 50k s/s sampling rate), interfaces with various external flash cards etc...
I've found examples of LCD interfaced with this kit, and mp3 playback (linux mplayer) so it looks encouraging. This is supposed to be a low power (75ma) cpu.
Thoughts?????
