If I have a Sansa clip+, should I use Rockbox?

Jan 6, 2011 10:13 AM

So I just got Sansa Clip+ from sellout, and I'm trying to decide whether to Rockbox it or not. I don't really even know the benefits, so a list of pros and cons would be great. Thanks.

I have also have a clip+ and the main reason I went for Rockbox is AAC support. I didn't want to have to worry about converting any of the music I got from iTunes. I also really like the customizable views and the interface is better.

Once you Rockbox, you can go back and delete every trace of it, but I think you'll like it.

I have Rockbox for my laptop I take abroad and use it with a cheap MP3 player I bought abroad.

I quite like it. It's fairly intuitive to use, it supports loads of different style files, and its open-source. What's better than that?

I don't have a Clip+, but I do have a v2 Fuze and I love Rockbox.

In addition to the large amount of customization, there are also games in case you need to pass the time. Well at least for the Fuze, not sure on the Clip+.

I have the sansa 200e, ok 5 of them in the house, and I like rockbox becuase I got tired of turning on the sansa with the original OS and the library would rebuild the entire 5 min drive to my destination.

I say if you can uninstall it, try it.

Oh ya and my kids get a kick of the thing saying 'Shutting down' when I power it off.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
