Do you really think you’ll hear a difference in a player that weighs a few grams? This isn’t a high quality device. Just use fucking mp3.
Benjamin Adams
wat
William Ross
Use the dev branch of rockbox. Stable has not been updated in fucking years.
Aiden Nguyen
hmmm
Jacob Hughes
Opus is noticably better than mp3, in compression ratio and sound quality.
Asher Reed
You'll likely want to use MP3 on these btw since they have accelerated hardware for decoding those, other formats have to be done on it's CPU and kill the battery MUCH faster.
Its a little detail that is never brought up about the clip.
Jaxson Rogers
That reminds me of when mp3 players didn't have hardware decoding for mp3 so you'd get significantly better battery with wav because it didn't have to decode anything.
Adrian Young
nobody uses hardware decoding for audio anymore
Dominic Lopez
Clips do to help with their battery life since it has such a low mw/h available to it.
Lincoln Kelly
just for mp3?
Nicholas Gonzalez
Get a Shanling M0
Justin Perez
can't play opus either you retarded chink shill
Austin Taylor
I fell for the sansa meme as well, rockboxed it, realized rockbox can't switch tracks if you selected loop one track, returned to stock, used it for a day, returned to using my phone. It's cheap so I didn't bother returning it. Custom ROMs allow switching tracks by volume buttons and if I one day get some high end headphones I could simply get a usb dac to get the most out of those headphones without changing my setup at all. PMPs are a scam.
Joseph Barnes
yeah I should have just stuck to using Poweramp on my phone.
Jack Rodriguez
I'm just going to do the same thing I do in every iteration of these threads where OP complains about their old Sansa breaking: remind people that Sandisk is still making modern versions that you can buy right now and that there are also Chinese knock-offs that do the same thing for a slightly lower price. See attached image.

So will I:
>no rockbox
Adrian Lewis
Even if MP3 may be trivial for any CPU to software decode it's still always better to have hardware decoding when battery life is a concern.
Phones still do this now, Modern phones can software decode h264 no issue but will still always use hardware decoding because of the lower power usage
Jack Kelly
Clip zip user here, opus files play fine with Rockbox.(3.14)
Michael Stewart
>PMPs are a scam.
I like my DAP, way better experience than using my phone.
Josiah Perry
>converted thousands of songs to ogg and opus
well shit
Jeremiah Adams
Yeah, they were fine on my clip zip. RIP.
I downgraded to an older Sansa and it dosen't handle Opus well, so I switched to Vorbis.

retard.......

Isaac Foster
luckily they're playable on your phone you fucking retard
how about not being stuck in 2002 with your completely redundant device
>b-b-but I can totally hear the dif-
no you can't
Jackson Evans
I'm confused, aren't this things like a decade old? I know I had one long ago. I'm assuming they can't handle some new format?
Levi Perry
works fine on my rockboxed Benjie T6
Ethan Price
how good are those benjie things?
also how do you put rockbox on it, i cant find it on the rockbox website.
Cooper Nguyen
Based Knowledgeable poster.
If you are doing encodes just use mp4 AAC its just as good as Opus untill you start going for meme bitrates below 128kbps and the clip has hardware decoding
t. hi-res lossless guy
Nathaniel Barnes
No idea about their other devices, i just bought the T6 because that's the only one with rockbox support and the device itself is great.
Also goes by agptek rocker which is a rebrand of the T6 by agptek, same internals though.
Build is in the rockbox website > dev builds > the first one.
Blake Bennett
Sansa clips are more than a decade old by now. It should be expected that a tiny block like that just doesn't have the processing power to software-decode heavy formats like opus. That said, I did actually manage to get opus files to play right, but it comes with other glitches so it's really not recommended.
Asher Evans
AAC is trash. Vorbis would be better.
Brody Hill
Opus is a whole lot more efficient than MP3.
Tyler Cox
Look at this moron right here
Camden Jenkins
Works on my machine :^)

Nolan Lee
not even close to being the same product your absolute degenerate sperglord fuck
Aaron Gomez
>opus files play fine with Rockbox.(3.14)
not 1.3 opus
Gabriel Hill
works on my device
Nolan Wood

Christian White
I don't know about "much" faster, but you get about 30min to an hour less play time if you use flac or opus. But that's just reducing 11.5 hours to 10.5.
>I was bored and tested it.
Andrew Russell
>Opus
>Dead Standard.
Why do we need yet another compression scheme? Memory is cheap, either use .wav or mp3 like every other cheap ass nigga on the planet.
Jason Williams
Rockbox devs have benchmarked playing times of different formats, AAC was among the worst ones with Opus being slightly worse, but MP3 wasn't the best
Musepack it's significantly better for battery life on rockboxed Clip+
I don't recall the Clip+ having HW accelerated MP3 decoding on Rockbox
Jason Lewis
GOOD. I HOPE YOU NON-PROPRIETARY NIGGERS SUFFER EVERYDAY FROM YOUR GIMPED, SHITTY DEVICES
Ryan Rivera
But Comcast boxes look like this and have 4K with voice remote.

Just load up the SD card on your phone.
