    Easier and cheaper to flash mod a Gen5/Gen7 iPod and put Rockbox on it. Looks better too.

      Yes, but we desperately need a thriving ecosystem of open source devices. With the way electronics are going - for example, being forced to agree to a new license agreement before being able to use a device I already purchased, and the agreement forces arbitration for disputes? We need more people working on enshittification-proof devices.

      Also interesting that they don’t add Flac in the supported files for the iPods but mention RockBox.
