Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2012 19:37:52 -0500 I agree. I would have turned right around and taken my Sansa Clip Zip back if I had not found Rockbox. That Sansa UI is the most brain-dead interface I've seen. I'd call it MP3 for Dummies, but that insults dummies! ;) First, as said elsewhere, the official word is at rockbox.org. That being said, I have a 4 GB Clip Zip with a 32 GB add-on SD card (which I can't get to work with the Sansa UI). I don't use all the Rockbox features, nor am I interested in many of them. However, it sure does the following: - It plays MP3s. Right there, that ought to be enough. <wink> And I have upwards of 500 CDs loaded on mine. - I have it set to bookmark when I stop, so I can continue later. Great for audiobooks and netcasts. - I don't bother with playlists, I don't bother with the database - I'm from the days of vinyl; I listen to albums. - The radio works fine, the radio preset lists work fine. - The UI themes work fine. - Sound adjustments work, speed adjustments work. Using the Windows Rockbox installer, it took me not more than ten minutes to get it loaded and kicking back. I can't see every getting another MP3 player and *not *loading Rockbox on it. Finally, I just checked the web again. The rockbox.org wiki says: > The Sansa Clip Zip works fine for day-to-day audio playback.

Really? 1.25 inch screen. A person would need a microscope to play sudoku on it! :) Enjoy your Clip Zip with Rockbox! (Packing for a weekend roadtrip with mine!)
