Do you use Rockbox?
« on: August 14, 2011, 08:35:12 pm »
Title says it all. Do you own a media player device that is currently eqipped with Rockbox? (check out rockbox.org)

I have a Sandisk Sansa Fuze running Rockbox.

EDIT: Added a poll.

Can you add a "No, but am interested in trying it" button...
I looked it up, and it looks nicer than some mp3 GUIs I've seen
Let me go dig up an old mp3 player

I sadly do not own any device supported by Rockbox. I have a Sony Walkman, that would be interesting to port Rockbox on.

And yeah we should add a "No, I do not own any device supported by Rockbox" option.

Actually, I had one, an Archos Jukebox 5000, a chunky thing with blue rubber corners and a 5gb laptop hard drive, but it is broken :P

Never heard of it. And it seems my MP3 players aren't listed. I got an iPod Touch but it doesn't list that version in particular.

I have this old walkman (yes, mp3 player) with a monochrome display and a broken headphone port and down button, but nothing from sony is listed. :P
Looks pretty cool, tho.

Here's a picture of what it looks like:

The front is 3" wide and 5" long, it's that big :P. It's so old that USB A and B cables weren't even invented, it was just an A connector on both ends, which is a bad idea because one could plug both ends of a cable into a computer, shorting it.

I've been using Rockbox on my Sansa Fuze for quite a while now. Nikky sort of introduced me to it. I think I had actually heard of it before then, but didn't realize Sansa Fuze was supported until Nikky brought it up on the Cemetech forum one day.

It's a lot nicer for me because it has more of the features I was actually looking for that the Fuze's built-in firmware lacks, plus I got tired of waiting for Sandisk to (probably never) fix all the bugs in their proprietary firmware. :P

i use it on my fuze as well, and agree with travis' reasons. additionally, writing themes for things is so much fun =D

EDIT: oh, and it means i don't have to worry about what format my music files are because it plays whatever i throw at it. i also used it to watch hours and hours of doctor who a couple years ago because i had no proper computer.

I found out about Rockbox before getting my current MP3 player, a Sansa e200 which I've had for at least four years. So, as a consequence, I've had Rockbox on it pretty much since I got it. I've used Rockbox almost exclusively because Sandisk's firmware doesn't support WAV, FLAC, or Ogg Vorbis, amongst numerous other deficiencies.

Nope, haven't heard of it before now. I have my Phone or my Zune for my mp3 needs.

Absolutely. I have an iPod Nano 2G with a broken screen, and Apple's firmware doesn't have support for voice menus...not to mention that the import process with iTunes is just weird. Rockbox FTW.

I sure do, Rockbox + iPodLinux + iPLBootLoader on an iPod Video 5G.  Just updated to the current build today.  I don't use it as often as I would like, though <_<.
