Looking for a great Rockbox-powered DAP

The only flash based player with external storage that runs off of a standard AA battery is the archos ondio, it's an ancient player but afaik fills all your criteria.

Yeah, I saw this one in the Buyer's Guide, but it doesn't accept SD cards, does it? And MMC cards are no longer sold, at least I've seen none in France in the past years. And all the cards I have are SD or micro-SD.

That doesn't mean the battery is completely discharged to the point that it causes damage, though: the battery itself has a cutout to stop that happening. It probably didn't make any difference.

If you were using your player enough that you were having to recharge it from a very low level every single day, then that in itself would've shortened the life of the battery somewhat :)

Moreover, this is a 5-year old player that I got from eBay, the battery lost its efficiency in several years.

I did some googling about the currently RB-capable players, and the sansas seem to be very interesting, especially the 8-gig Clip+ (despite the internal battery) and the 4-gig m260 (even though there is no external storage). Is there much left to do before Rockbox can be considered as "stable" on these targets ? Is the progress going fast ?

torne:
If it's a 5-year-old player then it didn't die after a year and a half of use, it died after being five years old ;)
That's perfectly expected for lithium battery tech.

zaphee:
OK.
So what about the sansa Clip+ and the sansa m260 ?

This topic interests me also ( I have two Sansa e200 V1s that work fine but suffer from that noise problem during quiet parts/ between tracks inherent to the chip design) Would love to find another DAP that offers the e200s options, but without that dreaded noise.
