Yes, but we desperately need a thriving ecosystem of open source devices. With the way electronics are going - for example, being forced to agree to a new license agreement before being able to use a device I already purchased, and the agreement forces arbitration for disputes? We need more people working on enshittification-proof devices.
Easier and cheaper to flash mod a Gen5/Gen7 iPod and put Rockbox on it. Looks better too.
Also interesting that they don’t add Flac in the supported files for the iPods but mention RockBox.
Rockbox supports FLAC. Native iPod OS doesn’t :(

Those mods don’t look particularly easy. I’ve seen the results of mods gone awry on a few 7th gens.
