The short version: Rockbox is to mp3 players as Linux is to PC’s.
so whats the point of it?
what does it do?
It’s an alternative and open-source firmware (the “OS” of the player). It looks and works very differently than the stock Sansa firmware.
thanks O wise jedi

It only works on selected (outdated) hardware, you have to put some time in it to get it running, for the advantages you get you have to pay a price by loosing other features or by higher battery drain, you get told it “runs” when there is barely a proof of concept, the community … needs getting used to… well, quite so.
