Hey guys,
I've been using a Sansa Clip Zip with Rockbox on it to listen to FM radio and record things off of FM. I liked it because it was nice and portable and I could take it anywhere.
However, my Clip Zip stopped working the other day, and in looking around the net I find that the player was discontinued by Sandisk.
So I can't get a new one unless I want to spend an insane amount of money for the player online. I think Amazon has it listed for $99.99.
So my question is, which players are still being produced which have excellent FM radios and can be Rockboxed? I also have a Clip +, however the radio on it doesn't work well when compared to the old Clip Zip. I am a blind individual, which means I cannot see the player's screen, so Rockbox's voice guidance comes in extremely useful for me. I'm going to attempt upgrading the Clip + to the newest Rockbox, however I don't know if that will improve the radio on it or not.
It looks like Sandisk now has another player in the Clip line, the Clip Jam. However Rockbox doesn't yet support it unfortunately. A link to the player on the Sandisk website is below, if you guys would want more information on it or if you're interested in making a new Rockbox port. I don't have the coding knowledge to make a new port or I would do it myself.

Thanks in advance!
