I got the itch to have a separate music player from my phone. Became very interested in the Innioasis Y1. It looks like a late model iPod nano (before they went touchscreen; it has the wheel). Bought it and then put the RockBox firmware on it (no simple task if you use Linux, let me tell you). I love it. It’s made me more intentional with my music. Plus I’m acquiring CDs and burning them to my laptop to transfer over to the Y1.
Hmm okay cool, I have been pretty on the fence about just buying a Gen1 Nano with the upgraded storage and roxbox preinstalled, but this looks solid too. Everything work on it with RB?
From what I can tell. I did get much better battery results from doing RockBox after a factory reset. (Initially switched it over after having loaded my music onto the device; battery was no good and there were some weird quirks with the file system so I decided to fully reset the device, installed RB, then loaded my music. Noticeable difference!)
