cheapest rockbox player
« on: August 07, 2008, 03:48:15 PM »
Hi all

I`m looking for the cheapest player to run rockbox. The memory size its not that important. I only want listen to some MOD and NSF files and other videogame/homecomputer music.

Regards
Tashi

This is a nice one. I hope I find a v1 in Europe somewhere.

that's what i have and you wont be disappointed with it either ;)

it's easy to use and get used to using the wheel on it vs those touch ones (zune/ipod's etc) as those i find harder to use vs the Sansa wheel.... it's just easier to pick up and use with no experience vs the touch pad ones like ipod's etc.

p.s. even though i only have 2GB of ram on it... in a way it's sorta like i have 4GB+ since i only use 45kbps average bit rate .OGG files on it as they sound noticeably better than MP3's on average at lower bit rates (lower bit rates = under 128kbps) ... but depending on how picky you are with sound quality you may or may not like 45kbps .ogg etc etc.

p.s. it's also easy to get rockbox running on it and i even fixed mine after i semi-bricked it using it's recovery mode ... but in general you aint got to worry about bricking it as you just set the player in MSC mode in the sansa firmware and then connect it to the pc and then run the sansapatcher.exe file (after that's done) you then transfer over the .rockbox folder to the root of the mp3 player and that's that ... whole process pretty much takes less than 5minutes... and updating to newer version's of rockbox is easy to as you just copy and paste in the new version of rockbox over the top of the old .rockbox folder and have it overwrite the previous files.

good luck ;)

And even less time using Rockbox Utility! ;)

There is a NSF player in Rockbox ?? I don't think so... I had to convert all my NES music to FLAC for playback in Rockbox (using Foobar2000).
