Wow, that activated some seriously ancient neurons... I just looked up some of the models it supports and surprisingly they were made within the last decade. For some reason there's still a market for cheap dedicated MP3 players.

I guess they cost basically nothing to manufacture and some people might need them...

Why would there not be?

The vast majority of people use smartphones for music.

I did not know rockbox was still around.

I remember writing a review of running Rockbox on my HDD based iRiver MP3 player for a tech site when I was a teen.

It was a great system for its time.
