#rockbox — Public Fediverse posts

🎸🤖 Oh joy, yet another "modern" music player because clearly, the world was one firmware update away from achieving sonic nirvana. Apparently, rehashing #Rockbox with a sprinkle of GitHub buzzword soup was just what the doctor ordered. But hey, at least the navigation menu is impeccable! 🙄🎶

Well, the iPod is officially a bust, so I must search for other avenues.

My choices of #MP3player / #DAP are then:

- Ultra low-cost machine, with quite possibly VERY crappy sound for under €40;

- Proper DAP that's over €100 with some being able to run #Rockbox as an alternative firmware. Currently eyeing the #HIFIWalkerH2.

- Weirdly enough, some retro consoles like the #R36S and its variants, which can also run Rockbox as an app.

So, Fedi, what say you on this topic? What do you suggest?

Just noticed one of my favorite pieces of software ever had a big update after more than 5 years: the #Rockbox media player software! https://www.rockbox.org

I ran this on an old #iPod color, of course, but later on an old #Android phone, a #FiiO M3K and today on a #Surfans F20! Honestly it just can't be beat, software wise, for a media player. 🧵1/2

For what I can only attribute to my phone guzzling down power even with local-only apps for music and podcasts, I, a terminally-online person that is rarely more than 1m away from a PC or smartphone with a constant Internet connection, and even self-host my own services, am considering... stepping down a notch and move to a more... "analog" world.

Actually, analog is the wrong word. "#Disconnected" might be a better one.

So I'm wondering if I could actually make a switch to something like a Nokia 7110 and an #MP3player.

Weirdly enough, MP3 players these days are apparently either cheap and crappy, or expensive and iffy, or VERY expensive, or expensive Android mini tablets with barely any battery life...

So I just put a bid on a modded 120GB iPod Classic I can slap Rockbox on, hopefully I win it.

If anyone in the EU has an #iPod they don't want that's compatible with #rockbox, please let me know!

Ce matin, ça sera Zeppelin, de Magoyond. La version instrumentale.

#Magoyond #Zeppelin #Rockbox

Got the 360p version of #Rockbox installed on my #InnioasisY1 with the #AdwaitaPod theme!

Had to change fonts to support Japanese characters, and set new album art because apparently Progressive JPGs aren't supported but now it's pretty much perfect for me ^^

#iPod #MusicPlayer #OfflineMusic

I'd really like a little audio player that can 1) support flac/opus/aac file formats and 2) has a replaceable battery for ~$100, but that doesn't seem to be a thing that exists

anyone know better, fedi?
