AGPTEK Rocker
Pingouin:
The AGPtek Rocker works fine for me, except:
- Battery life is meh.
- Screen is meh (I had a Sansa Fuze+ before which had a much better screen).
- Need to manually select Rockbox on startup, or wait 10 seconds for the player to default to it.
- BT is still not supported, but then I don't use BT anyway, so not a problem for me
Overall, happy with it, and I sold the Fuze+ over this one because the hardware "buttons" on the Fuze+ were a PITA, even with Rockbox (with OFW they were simply unusable).
Unlike others, I found installing Rockbox straightforward, but I understand it's more problematic with the Benjie version of the hardware.

I read about the wait on startup, that seems like something that would annoy. If they made this to be rockbox compatible, couldn't they have done better than that ?
I may wind up suffering with the Riuzu X19 , rather then spend over twice as much for the Rocker.
I don't need a whole lot in terms of features, but a solid bookmark system and fast forward that accelerates as you hold it down, are bare minimum. Something Rockbox got right long ago.

Edit - nevermind - misunderstood gigamojo's comment. It's directed at the Rocker hardware developers rather than the rockbox devs, I guess?

It's not that bad actually, the default is Rockbox. So once it boots up to the boot choice menu, you can just press the big centre button to go straight to Rockbox (which can be done without even looking at the player), or just wait 10 seconds.

Correct, that's what I meant .
