My poor Clip+ destroyed its battery after it was left on. They're harder to get now too.
Deadbeef is a decent Linux-based player.

Or you could buy a 5th generation ipod video through 7th generation ipod classic. The 5th generation video ipods have a Wolfson DAC that is better than the DAC inside any mobile device even available for purchase today outside of $1000 meme flac players. Then you buy the double-depth rear case, replace the 600mah battery with a 3000mah LiPo battery, and the spinning disk drive with an adapter board in your preferred format (msata, CF, SD, uSD) and you have an mp3 player that can hold as much as much music as you could ever want, with 50 hours of real battery life, running rockbox. 5th generation videos can be had on ebay for less than $30. I recommend ones that are "for parts" with HDD errors. Don't buy ones that don't turn on, the charging assembly can go sometimes, or the SMD battery connect on the board, and it is impossible to resolder because it is nearly flush with the edge of the front assembly

You literally replace the bootrom with rockbox's faggot, or do you not understand how recycle and reuse works. Enjoy your 128kbps mp3 collection you got in a public torrent megapack on your 4gb Sansa Clip

You seem a little upset. Also I don't have a Sansa Clip nor do I have 128kbps mp3s.

Your categorical reaction to the mention of Apple signals your small intellect or young age. Like any other OEM, they are a mixed bag. Aversion to their ethics, and their current products and practices is understandable. They are cancerous. Those of us who actually work in computing or enjoy computing as a hobby remember when Apple made very high quality hardware, and their OS, though derivative of BSD, really was the best of both worlds and still relatively *nix like in workflow. Those benefits are largely gone, but many people still use it because their work requires it.
Your bullshit reduction is counterproductive, and just ignorant. There is no reasonable philosophical objection you could have to repurposing < 2008 hardware for reuse with open software. There is no network stack, it can be managed with open software or as a FS, and is available at an attractive price point.

Now you are definitely upset

if you know what makes foobar2000 what it is, you should understand that simply porting rockbox is not enough, by far.
