There are basically no mp3s still made supported by rockbox. I tried the same. What one did you buy? I bought the Agptek A02 and nhere are only breadcrumbs when it comes to finding it's official SDK.

I got this: https://www.bol.com/be/nl/p/transnect-hifi-audio-mp3-speler-met-8gb-geheugen-micro-sd-kaart-en-hifi-oordoorpjes-fm-radio-multifuncitonaal-geheugen-uitbreidbaar/9300000043880637/ https://www.bol.com/be/nl/p/transnect-hifi-audio-mp3-speler-... I wanted something that allows my young son in the car to listen to the same 30 songs('kapitein winokio') over and over without driving my wife and me bonkers. As he gets sick when looking too long at a screen in a car, we wanted the minimum number of features outside playing music. Even so, a screen good enough to select the album was required, and it must be cheap enough that I don't care too much if it gets damaged or lost It claims to support video playback and ebook reading, but both features seem basically useless on the tiny screen, which is great for my use case. Unfortunately, it doesn't believe in alphabetic order when showing a list of files, uses left/right for scrolling up/down, uses 'menu' as OK button and mostly but not always ignores the OK button. Playlists seems too brain damaged to be of any use, so we ignore the mp3 menu and use the file browser as mp3 player. The usb micro connector dropped off the usb cable within 10 minutes of plugging it in, but I drown in replacements so who cares. The player itself and the headphone are actually sturdier than I expected. The firmware identifies itself as v1.1 but has no device or vendor information. So basically, same rock bottom quality as all other cheap players. We got the price and quality we expected and can't complain, but 15 minutes with the source code and turning the keyboard 90 degrees would solve oh so much tiny frictions. As I own it for a bit more than a day, there might be some hidden bonuses or traps I haven't seen. Don't ask me if this is a positive or negative review.
