mind leakage
I have RockBox setup on my Sansa e250.
It adds a few features that are pretty cool.
1. FLAC file playback
2. Audio file bookmarks
3. JPEG image viewing
4. TXT file viewer
6. a whole bunch of games.
8. preservation of original firmware via bootloader
9. file tree browsing and playback
10. Gameboy Color emulator.
11. DOOM!
I didn’t even know about FLAC support when I installed RockBox and it is my favorite feature.
So if you have a device that supports RockBox, I would say go for it.
I finally broke down and bought an MP3 player that is smaller than the 3 I already have.
I decided, as I am working out almost every day, that I needed a smaller PMP primarily for working out.
I wanted something that was:
1. cheap
2. small
3. had a memory card slot so I can easily update the card and then throw the card in the player. Also so I could have multiple cards.
4. FM tuner
And what did I find? The Sandisk Sansa e250. A 2GB flash-based MP3 player that almost/kinda’ does video. It plays WMA, MP3, AAC, audible, and WMA DRM files. Almost plays photos and video, but you are required to use the Windows-only software to convert the files into a format specific to the e2xx. It does have an FM tuner and records FM radio as well as voice messages using the built-in mic.
Did I mention it was $40? I have had this refurb for a few days now and really like it.
My refurb 30GB Zune is a bit jealous, as is my PSP, but they will be ok.
