Audiophile Build

Astrogoth:


No extra features, games, fonts, languages, voice, backgrounds, rarely used CODECs, older database files, OF leftovers etc etc. No files that aren't necessary to play music well. Save internal memory space to improve playback.

Many of those things aren't included in the main build, and if you dislike the others you can simply delete them.

The entire install is about 6-8 MB depending on the target, so the maximum disk space savings is extremely small.  If you are worried about trying to fit an extra 3 minutes of MP3 file on your player, you should just get one with more storage.

I can't help but notice that in an "Audiophile Build", you only want to make aesthetic and and minor functional changes (and also completely ruin functionality for the visually impaired, but, hey).

Having any more or less space taken up will make absolutely no difference to playback whatsoever.  None, nada, zero, etc.

Even if you're playing larger FLAC files?

Pardon me for saying this but sometimes it seems like you guys have lost track of the basic reason for Rockbox to exist. To play music as well as it can. All the extras and rare players you support are cool and all but they don't help that. Granted I know next to nothing about this stuff so I may be wrong but wouldn't a stripped down build work faster and play larger files better? I didn't put RB on my ZIP to play Doom or watch the screensaver. Music. That's all.
