this is a good bye or just a thank you...
« on: August 22, 2019, 02:14:54 PM »
Not so long ago i lost my beloved sansa fuze. It was the the third mp3 player i possed. and it was in terms of size and usability the best i ever had. (My first one was a iriver H300 and after that a iPod color).
And the only reason i can say that is because there is this wonderful project.
I always chose my players because of the „rockboxability“.
And rockbox was the first software project i donated money for because it filled the gap of usability so nicely. When i look at recent players or better music-apps i fear that the era of „easy to use and with real buttons so that i can use it without looking or accidently pressing something else“ is over since there are no new devices that meet my needs (and a Sansa fuze is hard to find these days).
For me touch controls or a smartphone are no real alternatives! And anyway listening to music without rockbox is only half the fun  ;)

So i wanted to thank all of the good people that are/where involved in this project for the good work, the dedication and all the time that where invested to make this possible

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

sincerely,
a loyal rockbox-user

Just buy a used Fuze.   :)

I actually have a small collection of DAP's...I realized a few years back that it's just something I like to do and several of them are Rockboxable.   Also enjoy futzing with the hardware to see just how far I can take it ie. mSATA And m.2 drives recently.

It's fun and the software is great.  And honestly, when I just want to ignore the smartphone and concentrate on the music for a short time, nothing beats a dedicated DAP.

This is exactly the same reason why I am currently interrested in mp3 Player. It is fascinating to see the difference from stock firmware to custom firmware done by talented and motivated persons.
And of course doing hardware modifications (swapping out the harddisk and installing e.g. micro sd cards via compact flash adapters).
