Need new Rockbox player - Suggestions?

[mikelx215]

My iPod nano's screen got cracked - by my butt apparently  . The screens useless, it won't display anything. My warranty's no good and repairs seem to cost as much as a new device.  I'm deciding on a replacement.

What platform does Rockbox run best on?

I believe this (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BuyersGuide) is the page you seek.

P.S. Nice!

I have an ipod nano, too. It's actually very stable with rockbox and I simply love it. It's too bad that yours broke... You can look into replacement LCDs for it on ebay and also just by searching google.

If you want another player altogether, I would look into (maybe) an ipod video, gigabeat or a sansa e200.

D'oh! I should have checked that first. My apologies. If a moderator would like to delete my post...

depends on what your looking for.  if you want to use rockbox all the time, i wouldn't exactly suggest the sansa e200 because of its power issues (that's a shame, because its really nice aside from that little detail.)

otherwise, if you just looking to use rockbox sparingly (to pass time playing games 'n stuff) it is a good platform for it.

You could just continue using your broken one with everything voiced...

It'd make frozen bubble harder, though.

What is "frozen bubble"? Since you didnt say what type of player you want (ie: space, size) I would assume you want something like your previous player, the nano, but im not going to assume and say that I would suggest the Gigabeat Its really nice and i havnt    really heard about any problems with it, besides people having installing problems, which is strange because the gigabeat was the  easiest players to install rockbox on.

It's a nice bust-a-move clone; its been ported to Rockbox for a long while. I think you'd know it as bubble.

Anyway, I like using Rockbox so I just wanted to know what my best options were.
