Music Player (slrpnk.net)

I'm looking for a BIFL (or at least last me for a while) music player that can play .wav files, has a lot of storage, is portable, and the parts are able to be replaced/upgraded. I've heard about using iPod classics but it seems like they're unable to play .wav files. Any reccomendations?

If you replace the firmware on an iPod classic with Rockbox, it supports wav out of the box!

That’s cool but uh… that’s pretty far from out of the box.

You can source a modified iPod (5.5 Gen with Wolfson DAC) that comes with:

  • Rockbox preinstalled
  • an upgraded battery(3 days continuous playback, tested this week)
  • 256GB or 512GB solid-state drive

With 4,756 CC tunes, it makes for an excellent compact jukebox.
