It is amazing that this is still under development. I did a quick search on their supported hardware, and everything except for the iPod seems to be no longer manufactured.

I remember when I so badly wanted to use rockbox, and the chinese player I had wasn't supported (it was a s1mp3 variant)

Even the iPods are no longer officially manufactured by Apple. However, there are still many options for getting a DAP nowadays, eBay is one.

It's awesome to see there is still development! I am a long time rockbox user.

If I may ask, what can I do to help, and what DAPs would you recommend?

Right, I have an OG SanDisk Clip, very good sound quality. I do miss my brick-sized 20 GB Creative Zen Touch (AWESOME sound quality!), except I can't find a compatible charger for it.

Happy to see RockBox still under development!

I use a (couple of years old now) Sandisk Sansa Clip with Rockbox on it. Great battery life, little to no maintenance, small, light cheap. Am very happy with Rockbox too.

waitaminute... they release version 3.14 and it doesn't run on a *pi board??

Just kidding, someone had to say it:). Rockbox is a fantastic piece of software. I had it installed years ago on my small Sansa Clip Zip player which I bring almost everywhere and never went back to the original firmware. Great work, guys!

On a side note, the Sansa Clip Zip works great and after years still holds some good hours of charge, but at 50+ the screen size is becoming too small, especially when I'm not wearing glasses on the beach. What Rockbox compatible model would you suggest with great battery life and a bigger (twice at least) screen?

Well, it /is/ possible to run our SDL app on a raspi...

Heh, the same day I copied my music from my old rockbox'd iriver H20 to a an old Samsung S4 I will use as a media player. The old H20 was great, but as the battery life fell below 1 hour it was just too much of hassle. Maybe there will be a rockbox vm/app someday.
