Sansa Fuze v1 vs. v2

[rixxy]

I am seriously considering purchasing this Fuze:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855125110&cm_re=sansa_fuze-_-55-125-110-_-Product

The Rockbox homepage says that Rockbox works with Fuze v1 but not v2.

My question is, how do I tell if this is a v1 or a v2?

Thanks!

My question is, how do I tell if this is a v1 or a v2?

Buy it, turn it on, and then check the firmware version.  That said, Rockbox works on both the v1 and v2 fuze (read the front page more carefully) so its probably not a huge deal which you get.

Thanks

This is what I see on the front page though:

Stable ports

Rockbox runs well on these players, has a complete manual and is supported by the installer:

    * Apple: iPod 1g through 5.5g, iPod Mini and iPod Nano 1g
    * Archos: Jukebox 5000, 6000, Studio, Recorder, FM Recorder, Recorder V2 and Ondio
    * Cowon: iAudio X5, X5V, X5L, M5, M5L, M3 and M3L
    * iriver: iHP100 series, H100 series, H300 series and H10 series
    * Olympus: M:Robe 100
    * Packard Bell: Vibe 500
    * SanDisk: Sansa c200 series (not v2), e200 series (all models), and Fuze v1 (not v2)

Does this just mean that it doesn't have a manual?

Look even more carefully.

Unstable ports
Rockbox runs on these players, but is incomplete, less usable or has problems that limit it to advanced users:

•Apple: iPod Nano 2g
•Cowon: D2
•Olympus: M:Robe 500
•Samsung: YH-820, YH-920 and YH-925
•SanDisk: Sansa Clip (all versions) and Sansa Fuze v2
•Toshiba: Gigabeat S

Despite being marked as "unstable" on the front page, Rockbox seems to be able to run fine on the Fuze V2s as well as the V1s (See http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMS#Port_Status for more detailed info).

I'm running the current daily build (r26345-100527) on my v2 Fuze and it is awesome. Gapless is great and now I can listen to my trance and live albums withouth the 1-second pause.

Not sure why Sansa can't/won't do this. You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work!
