This thing is amazing! I barely used my phone at all in the morning and all through the afternoon as I went about my business. I got sucked in for the evening onwards, but baby steps.
… I’ll need to download more music, and get a bigger SD card. I’ve already played and replayed every single one of them I had loaded onto my Echo Mini these past 2 days.
Maybe you can try to use Rockbox custom firmware? I learned about this project just the other day watching this video on YouTube: This iPod is built different | @WolfgangsChannel. It made me want to go pick-up my Creative Vision:M at my parents and try to revive it !
Thank! I actually looked into this project when I first got it, but it’s not stable-ported, and I’ll lose all the songs currently on it (songs I can’t back up, because of driver incompatibilities).
