There are still so many Sansa Clip Plus-like clones out there (AGPtEK 
A12 on Amazon, for example).

Haven't any manufacturers just snatched Rockbox for free?

(I understand that they would have to do some work to make it work on 
their hardware, but why would they go to the trouble of writing / buying 
their own functionality when such a full-featured open-source 
alternative is available?)

I lost my last of 3 Sansa Clip+, but i am NOT about to pay a $50 
scarcity premium on eBay for the few remaining collectors items.



First time poster - trying to follow the rules, please be gentle with 
scoldings!
