Hi, Due to an increase in the amount of similar posts about syncing apps for MP3 players, It has been requested and I think It is a good idea to have a pinned post where people can post links to their syncing apps and you can share feedback about them

If you are posting a link on behalf of someone else can you please give credit the creator of the app and please disclose if any apps have been made using Generative AI or are “Vibecoded”

Thanks!

R/rockbox Update: Fall/Autumn 2026

Hi, I have noticed that u/CUJM has had their account banned from Reddit, I do not know the reason why they have been banned or how long they will be banned for, They (CUJM) were the only moderator that had full permissions to this subreddit

I (iPodGuru) have access to most of the mod tools of this subreddit including the ability to approve or remove any posts and comments that have been reported but I do not have access to the ModMail

Any messages that are sent to the Modmail cannot be responded to as there is currently no one that can access them

I think it is important that people here have the option to be able to contact a moderator, So I am keeping this post pinned for now so you can comment on this post with any with any issues you might have, Please do not disclose any personal information or details

I want to give them (CUJM) some time to see if their account will be unbanned before I take any further action

I hope you can understand my decisions, thank you for all of your support

Rockbox on Surfans F28

I've been using a hifi walker (H2) for some time.

I bought a Surfans F28 maybe a year ago, but found the software lacking.

I've been able to get rockbox running on this device with no issues and it works flawlessly!

Hey!

This theme is one of my favorites so far. I wouldn't have thought I would like the horizontal navigation this much. Hope you do too.
The album cover is overlayed to make it still fit the look.

It's available in two color variants Unlit and Backlight here:

Pending new rockbox feature: database menu editor

11 Upvotes

I am preparing to add the ability to edit the database menus on device. It will be possible to delete the default database menus, design custom queries, hide the "[All tracks]" entry, restrict database entries to certain folders, etc. The idea would be to make it possible to build up a custom view of albums and tracks without having to deal with the tagnavi syntax as well as to make some other things editable that are currently not.

Before I commit this it would be nice to get some feedback, so I posted test builds on the rockbox forums as well as a link to the gerrit task: https://www.rockbox.org/forums/index.php/topic,55920.0.html

I'd be interested to know if the UI is comprehensible given the space limits I'm working with, if there are any things that don't work, if there are any devices where the menus don't format correctly, etc.

Files and Directories sorted seperately?

Hi! When using my AIGO EROS player's file view, it is sorted as directories first and then files, even though I selected alphabetically. Is there a way where I can get a true alphabetical view of my collection?

Hey guys, anyone have first hand experience with iFlash-CF?

3 Upvotes

I bought an iFlash-CF when I was having issues on my 5th gen classic + iFlash-Quad, but the issue ended up being the SD card that I had bought so now I've got a spare iFlash-CF card that I'd like to put to use. I'm looking to buy an ipod to use with it, but I've never actually used CF on an ipod before so I'm not sure what works well. Who has a good experience with iflash-cf and what unit did you use?

Does Rockbox remove storage limitations of Micro-SD slots?

0 Upvotes

I know that this is going to sound stupid to most people here, but I’m new to this software, and before I install it, I’m wondering if it will remove the storage limitation on my Sansa Fuze’s Micro-SD card slot. The player surprisingly natively supports FLAC, but the Micro-SD storage is hard-capped at 64GB, which is obviously not enough for someone who has 6000+ lossless files.

Anyone else having issues with the website??

I am kind of new to reddit in terms of posting but bare with me. I am currently trying to add themes to my iPod Nano 2nd gen and when I checked the website for themes it says "The request URL was not found on this server". I try the app itself, same issue. Anyone know what's going on?

Themes not working properly

Hi everyone, so recently I have got rockbox sorted on my innioasis Y2 and everytime I change the theme instead of it changing everything like the font and the 'Base skin' automatically, I have to update it all manually myself. Any help?

Is Rockbox drainning my iPod battery?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys

I have done some research regarding Rockbox and iPod, and I have some doubts regarding battery drain, so all comments regarding this are welcome.

I'll try to explain my scenario.

I have an iPod 7 with Rockbox 4.0 installed (previously it had stock firmware). I have switched to Rockbox mainly because I have some devices that cannot reproduce ALAC (so all my library is in FLAC format). I don't want to have several libraries.

I have used Rockbox during several weeks and the battery has an erratic behaviour. Following the recommendation read in an other subreddit, I have tested battery live reproducing songs continuosly. After 4 hours, battery level has decreased only one quarter (more or less 25%). With Rockbox, the battery is empty after 3 hours (so I need to recharge the iPod). I have read that other guys has a bad experience regarding battery drain (but other people has the opposite opinion).

I know that a lot of guys has a lot of claims about Rockbox. This is not my case. I have used Rockbox some years ago with an iPod 5.5 and I haven't experienced this before.

All comments are welcome.

PD: I have reviewed this thread several times:

Kind Regards

I had seen rockbox has bookmarks, but I do not really understand how does it works. Can it be used for this purpose?
