Does anyone here remember Rockbox? I still have my old Sansa player running it.
Mine is also a Sansa! 😁👍
I used to use Sansa clip+ with Rockbox back when the audio quality on my phone was terrible.
I have my iPod 5th gen running on RockBox. IMO it's even better than the stock firmware because it can play flacs.
And ogg and m4a and opus and so many more. I have an ipod 6th gen runnung rockbox. Its great. If the harddrive dies I'll replace it with sd-cards and still keep uaing it.
Yeah, I have the iFlash solo, works great.
I even had Doom running on it. The controls were difficult though
Oh, yeah, I played it too, got used to the controls enough to start having fun, though didn't finish any level.
Rockbox is cool, I just wish it was able to replace the base system without touching the UI. Something about it just feels off on an iPod. Even supposedly iPod-accurate themes just feel uncanny.
I've been using the adwaita dark one, matches my GNOME Fedora desktop on my PC.
It's a shame rockbox doesn't support video playback though.
How is stability for you? My 7th gen with about 750gb is pretty unstable, mostly I have a lot of difficulty transferring since the iPod crashes 15gb in all the time.
Mine's been great, though I have only about 2 GB of music on there.
Same, someone also added a new battery at some point so I have an awesome weeklong working device. And after rockbox, its even better.
