Rockbox is dead, no suitable players? List all options
darkcity:
I don't know what state my Clip+ is in - microSD and USB sockets may be broken.
Clip+s come up regularly on ebay - but you may have to bid over the odds.
Penon Audio is another option for new players, but I've never used them personally.
Did you get a refund on the counterfeit from Aliexpress?

Clip+s sell ridiculously high even as 2nd handed, while I am not a big fan of getting 2nd handed stuff anyways.
I will look into Penon Audio , but with a brief search I saw no retailers in the EU. Do you know of any legit retailer outside the EU? Also, any specific model that can be rockboxed?
I didn't ask for a refund for the fake Ruizu. I decided to keep the player. It was a mediocre player but for 18 euros it wasn't all that bad. Wouldn't buy again though, I really need to step up a bit in quality. That said I want to make a couple of declares:
1. My general experience with Ali is quite positive. Not only have I got refunds whenever asked (couple of times), but once I mistakenly filled wrong address in an order and the item (watch) was never picked by me and returned to the seller, I asked kindly of him to resend it to the right address while I would pay the extra costs and he told me I could just ask for a refund which he would accept. He litteraly returned he whole amount, without even asking me to reorder. Great service.
So, ofcourse I might haven't been satisfied with the Ruizu or a wall ac wire detector I oncce order, that didn't work as it should, but apart from that I have been given great service from Ali and its retailers. Also the buyer protection they provide is faster than paypal to my experience. But ofcourse you will have to use your card directly, if that might concern you.
2. I read in a forum once that at some point Ruizu banned China retailers from sending to other countries. This means that if you want a genuine Ruizu it would be wiser to look into Agptech just to avoid any scam purchase. (Ruizu brand for the rest of the world (outside China) is Agptech AFAIK).

thanks for the detailed answer :)

I don't know of retailers outside the EU, though someone the forum probably does.

Great! Thanks for the list!

The Wiwoo 16Gig or 32Gig look interesting at the $11 sale price. FM included. One comment on the players Amazon page says no Rockbox but nothing I could find here.
