hey guys,

im looking for a mp3 player that supports using SD/microSD cards with no limits - i want to be able to use the largest sd/microsd available.
is there a rockbox compatible one, such as the sandisk clip+? does rockbox remove the limitations on external media?

basicalyl id like something that has more space then a ipod classic 80gb, I dont care if its flash or hdd based, just no more apple!

Serenity:
I use a Sandisk Sansa Fuze v2 with a 64GB micro sdxc. It was a trick to format, but it works fine now. I'd assume Rockbox doesn't limit the card capacity, as long as you can format the card to FAT32.
You could always buy an older player (like the iRiver H340 or Toshiba Gigabeat F) and replace its HDD with a higher capacity drive. If you don't mind messing with the iPod video, there is a 240GB HDD available for it. Just install Rockbox and thank Apple for the hardware while giving iTunes a kick in the backside.
As for standard SD cards, the full size SDXC goes up to 128GB, but I'm not sure which stable Rockbox targets use regular SD cards.

torne:
Rockbox should in theory support cards up to 2TB. Nobody has tested this of course since those cards don't exist yet, but if it doesn't work when they do, then it's a bug and we should be able to fix it in software.

The hardware makes no difference.

i have an ipod classic 80gb, could I also replace the HDD in that one and install rockbox?

saratoga:
Yes, provided you find a compatible drive:  http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/HardDriveReplacement
