Hi,

  For now, agptek has one model that is rockbox compatible. That is the Agptek Rocker. Rockbox works pretty well on the agptek rocker except the bluetooth functionality hasn't yet been implemented.

For a lower price you can get the benjie t6, which is essentially the same as the agptek rocker, but I have read about certain compatibility problems,but not sure.

You can buy it on amazon, not sure about other places though, depends where you live.

If you have more questions please reply hope the above helps.

How is the sound quality on it? It seems very cheap.

The AGPTEK Rocker is an expensive ($60) "hi-fi" model, with dismal battery life (6 hours):

It has very mixed reviews, to say the least:

My Zip's battery just went belly up. I look here and see almost no progress in the last few years. Shame. An inexpensive media player with good features and quality sound is still in demand. With phones moving away from headphones toward bluetooth earbuds that sound worse than wired earphones I miss my Zip. Something like the Agptek A26T would have been great. Oh well RIP Rockbox. Everyone needs to get paid somehow.

I took Astrogoth's moan as being about the state of hardware development rather than Rockbox.  i.e. the lack of anyone producing a suitable modern player to put Rockbox on.  Admittedly it wasn't very clear what they meant (not sure what people getting paid has to do with it - it's surely more about the changing demand side of the market?).

I'm sending out emails to a few suppliers about making Rockbox compatible players, see their replies here:

@hunterleo: it appears your AGPTek Rocker is only a rebranded Benjie BJ-T6: http://www.benjie-tx.com/MP3HiFiPlayer/224.html

I thought you designed the whole player but actually you only customize and rebrand some existing stuff? Can you explain more deeply what are the differences between the Rocker and BJ-T6?

Thank you!

Bejie assembled the device for us. And we did the design of the appearance and the UI. The UI is different, for benjie version is available in China only.

Is this https://www.amazon.com/-/en/dp/B08THXQWPS/ref=nav_signin?dchild=1&keywords=AGPTEK+Rocker&qid=1623846192&sr=8-4& compatible with Rockbox?

achakian0000 that is a screen protector, not the actual player.
