What is the nicest hardware that has a stable Rockbox port?
AlexP:
Yes, that was a brain fart, not sure what I was thinking there.
To make it very clear - the F does not have a radio. For a radio target with flash, I'd have one of the sansas.

Thanks for the opinions guys.
Sorry for not supplying much info in the first post. I was more just asking everyone's preferences, but since people are directly suggesting things I'll be more specific.
I didn't really use the microphone on my old CZV:M, so I'm not really bothered about that (unless there was a multitrack recording plugin but I already saw the thread where someone was told it was virtually impossible). I never listen to the radio either, so that's not much of a concern. Size wise, it has to be 30GB or larger.
The main thing that attracts me to Rockbox is the support for various lossless formats, along gapless playback, crossfading and replay gain. Do all players support these equally well? I think I'm leaning towards an iPod. Normally I would never buy one, but buying it second hand and using Rockbox makes me feel ok about it. ;)
EDIT: Forgot about remotes. Which players have remotes and do they work in Rockbox? I've never had a player with a remote but I've always been slightly jealous of them.

All rockbox players except the very old archos hwcodec ones support the same formats and audio dsp features, only the gigabeat S is fast enough to decode the heaviest APE files though.
If you want to use lots of dsp a player with a faster cpu than the ipod video might be a good idea but that also depends on what format the audio you are playing is in.
LCD remotes are available and supported in rockbox for iriver h100/h300 and iaudio m3/m5/x5
non-lcd remotes are available and supported for the gigabeat f/x and s IIRC
*some* ipod remotes are supported too, check the http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodAccessories wiki page.

I gotta vote for the Toshiba Gigabeat FX. My device is simply amazing with Rockbox - a revelation for sure.
Thanks Rockbox!
