I have been using this model for several years and I am just fond of |
| 13 |
it. It has a great hardware quality (at least, its playback part), and |
| 14 |
by installing the RockBox on it you obtain a very powerful software |
| 15 |
which you can even customize by yourself. |
| 16 |
It is also GNU/Linux-friendly, since the latest versions of RockBox |
| 17 |
feature the complete USB exchange support, and you can copy the |
| 18 |
files just like to a regular USB flash drive. |
| 19 |
I recommend this player to everybody, especially to the people who |
| 20 |
appreciate free software. |
| 21 |
My only doubt is whether these players are still available on the |
| 22 |
market or not. Sansa Clip+ is a rather old model. |
