Sansa Clip + have gotten overpriced what's another good

Such a player doesn't exist.
Sorry bro, when the clip+ stopped getting made that was it.
You can't have good, cheap, small and microSD all at once anymore. Choose three.

>>52652712
There's a good, cheap and microsd music player? Do tell.

>>52652599
check the local best buy if they have any clip zips in stock
probably your best option

There isn't one, buy another clip man

>>52652599

Just buy like 10 of these: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-sale-headphone-earphone-for-sport-mini-mp3-music-player/32247299128.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_1,searchweb201644_1_10014_10001_10002_9703_10005_10006_10003_9995_10004_62,searchweb201560_5,searchweb1451318400_6148,searchweb1451318411_6449&btsid=05ddc505-b9dc-4526-9d53-1f1de106d4e8

They get about 6hrs of battery life and you can just swap your microsd card between them when they die. Better than blowing through $50 Clip+/Clip Zips

What's funny is that if Windows phones are so close to hitting this but are let down with shit tier media players because of how the OS handles media.

I have a Microsoft 435 that's ultimately a shit smartphone but a great upgrade to a dumbphone. It has a huge battery life, was very cheap (£30) and has microSD compatibility but the music player is a piece of shit and there hasn't been a solid music player other than ModernMusic, but that doesn't have last.fm support or any of the cool features that Rockbox has.

They have 90mah batteries. I wish a manufacturer would build one with a 200mah battery and waterproof it, they'd make a killing

Fiio M3 is out, but no rockbox.

JUST USE YOUR PHONE YOU FUCKING AUTISTS, HOLY FUCKING SHIT, IT'S 2,000 FUCKING 16.

You're aware that most modern smartphones have bluetooth compatibility so you can play music to wireless headphones while you work out without having to attach it to anything.

>>52652866
nice parametric eq and shit battery life you got there m8 :^)

sansa c240 any good?

>>52652961
>without having to attach it to anything

Do you understand the concept of working out and gyms in particular?

What good does a pair of bluetooth headphones do me when I have to keep the phone in my pocket or strapped to me anyways. That's the dumbest fucking thing ever. Now I just have another thing to keep charged because somehow you think that the problem with wearing a smartphone while working out is the headphone cable

What happened?

>>52653209
Ruizu has an equalizer, just like your beloved rockbox (which I actually have committed code for about 3 years ago, am in the credits, and have created two of the most popular themes for the Clip+ and Clip Zip)

>>52653262

So are you like, my senpai?
Tell me more about this Ruizu magic

>>52653258

>>52652866
this.

>>52653258
S&D

No supply. Higher demand as old ones die off. Newer sansa players are shit.

Thinkpenguin has a Clip ZIp clone: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/portable-ogg-flac-audio-player

>>52653278
Ruizus are cheap, drop-shipped from China players with great compatibility, battery life, SQ, and features. The only drawback is that the interface (while in English) is very 'chinese-y', that's to say a lot of weird button combos.

Here's a good thread about the X02: http://www.head-fi.org/t/744865/the-ruizu-x02-dap-thread

>>52653307

>no dedicated volume slider button
>not enough analog buttons with only one function
its shit!

>>52653209
Ruizu has a Rockchip, literally the foundation of rockbox and a very capable EQ programmed in

>>52653307
Neat, X02 vs. X10? what would you suggest
do they take 64 gb microsd?
any kind of set up needed like fat32 conversion or something like that

>>52653363
I prefer plastic electronics so I'd go X02

There's some other versions with BT built in if you need that

>>52653363
yeah, they'll probably take up to 128GB too

I think they need to be FAT32, so the larger cards that come in exFAT by default should be reformatted

>>52653465
are you inSANE
BT!?!?!?!?
ARE YOU A MAD MAN
HOW IS THE X02 MORE PLASTIC THAN X10
YOU ARE FUCKING FUCKED IN THE MEMBRANE

>>52653486
my microsd is already fat32 , for the clip +++-

>>52653508
x10 used to be aluminum, I swear I saw that (looks like it is plastic now) and yes the x06 has bluetooth

I miss my Zune.

>>52653258
> current prices
> $60

I paid $62 for new clip+ with free shipping back in November. Then I rockbosed it, added a 128Gb fat32 sd card, screen protector and tight-fitting silicone case. Should keep it going for a while.

Thanks anons for all the tips!

>>52653910
>$62 for a $5 toy

I could never justify spending >$25 on them, jesus

just use your smartphones guys

Anyone here have an opinion on the Fiio X series?

I have an iPod classic as well as a Sansa clip+. I want something with the functionality of an iPod and the freedom of the clip and I thought maybe that would fit the description.

Also it's not nearly as neat or tidy
I will never understand people who use their phone
so fucking inconvenient

>>52654096
>iphone
Yeah let me ditch my sansa clip+ for a locked $600+ phone

>>52653910
>>52653993
As much as I love the thing, I bought it for like $25-30 a few years ago, and it's still going strong. But $60 is a little ridiculous.
I don't know what to do when she dies, though.

>>52654141
>he didn't preformat his card to fat32

are you a genius?

>>52654206
It is FAT32

>>52654160
>>52654178

Before the clip+ I was using my phone exclusively. Why risk the expensive phone, which had less storage also, while doing outside tasks like mowing, etc?

>>52654219
considering that there are hundreds of thousands of chinese people with working ruizu players and probably another tens of thousands in the U.S. and they don't report this issue, it's probably:

>your card
>your cable
>your USB port
>your computer

or

>user error

>>52654249
It doesn't even come with a PC usb

>>52654256
yes it does

>>52654314
Amazon? No way dude NO WAY GAME OVER
THIS IS TOO HARD I NEED HELP
and i DONT put rockbox on the ruizo?

>>52654392
im just scared

>>52654392
respond to me!

To ask a slightly different but related question, are there any currently produced music players that do dynamic range compression? It's a godsend when I'm trying to listen to music while working in a noisy environment and is pretty much the only reason I rockboxed my Clip+.

>>52653307
Anything around that price and quality but with more buttons?

>>52653307
>58 dollarydoos

>>52654779
Xduoo X2 is a bit more expensive but has dedicated volume buttons

>>52654928
but does the ruizu work well with the PC
can i just plug it in and drag and drop onto the microsd to add music?
hmmm
seems

>>52654981
YES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

IT'S A GLORIFIED uSD READER YOU MORON

>>52655004

Cowon Plenue D. OK not really that cheap, but very small, amazing battery life, micro sd and almost the best sound quality you can get.

>>52655542
>Cowon Plenue D
cowon makes amazing stuff. i bought one of their first players (iaudio m3) years ago. upgraded to the m5, then the x5. still have all 3. they still work rock solid, and all support rockbox.

Get an ipod video and install the dual SD card mod, you can use up to 512GB if im not mistaken. Supports Rockbox of course.

>>52652747
Your phone, provided it's HTC, Sony or Samsung pre GNote 4.

>>52658469
there is no rockbox support for the jam or sport and apparently the chip is weird so it's unlikely to happen soon.
