For those interested in iDevices, Apple just cut the pricing of its 5th Gen iPod touch
They're still overpriced, considering the technology is 3 years old - Apple A5 SOC and only 512MB RAM. They also gave the 16GB model a rear camera. The iPt5 was released in Oct 2012 and is due for a refresh this year. Release Dates

I believe it depends on which device you're using with Rockbox. I assumed that ALAC would be playable as well, but I haven't had any consistent luck using Rockbox 3.1.3 (the latest version for the Clip Zip) even though the manual lists that format ("Apple Lossless .m4a, .mp4"). The files usually skip or don't play at all, and I've been able to test them with other devices (one of the many advantages of a removable mSD). FLAC files seem much more reliable so far.

I've often thought the same thing; except for the running bit. I like the idea of a very small streaming audio player - Audible, OverDrive, AOL Radio, TuneIn Radio, Amazon Music, FM, etc.

Count me in. I greatly prefer to listen to audiobooks via the Audible/OverDrive/SmarterPlayer apps, so I can bump up the speed.

You just have to add your existing Audible files to iTunes and sync them--you do not need to make the Audible purchase through Apple. For Overdrive (DRM'ed WMA files), the Windows software will let you convert the files to AAC and put them on your iPod, but only if the iPod is set to "manually manage music." I haven't found a way to do it with a Mac, but I haven't tried on the last three years, either. |

then you'd need wifi... and that would make it cost more... and soon a touch would be cheaper
