Noobs negative opinion of the Rockbox homepage
Primefalcon:
hmm I might give it a shot.... even if just for a fun project
theuserofallusers:
I agree to disagree I think that rockbox should be for the older players because, lets face it the old ones are nice but with all the new improvements in technology the newer players don't really need upgrading cause most already have games video players...ect I have been trying to figure out rockbox for more devices but ii feel like there is really no point
Primefalcon:
I don't know, I got an Ipod 1g nano when they first came out... and was considering sending it back to get a free upgraded to the latest nano, decided not to since rockbox supports everything and doesn't require using rhythmbox or such to transfer files plus.... with text editors, image viewers and video playback.... what more could you want really...IMO nano 1g with RB beats the hell out of the latest gen nano...
You guys have done such an outstanding job that the obsolete hardware.... kicks arse over the newest tech
Primefalcon:
my wife actually saw me playing a movie on it... and she was like omg what did you do.... that is awesome...she replied by saying if I send it back to apple for the latest nano... I'd be a fool..... I agreed

The manufacturer's interfaces will NEVER be anywhere NEAR as customizable, flexible, and supportive of complex niche uses; so there will ALWAYS be enormous advantages to Rockbox, even if the newer players have games and video etc... I don't run Rockbox for the games and video play ability, I run it for the basic sanity of control, configuration, and customization. Personally, I'm totally happy with a Sansa Clip Zip, my wishlist has one entry: a way to support more than 72GB. Oh, I mean, line-input would be nice-to-have, 10x the battery life would be nice-to-have, bluetooth would be nice-to-have, more CPU and RAM would be nice-to-have - but the thing I would gladly pay much more for, or sacrifice small size for, would be a way to cram more flash into it.
