Testing out Musicolet on a MagicX Mini Zero 28, it has a lot of potential.

I got it set up pretty decently. I'd love a way to assign the L/R buttons to skip and something else to pause/play, unfortunately the zero 28 kinda falls into a less than ideal middle ground as android with no touch screen.

Miyoo Mini Plus or MagicX mini Zero 28? which one would you recommend as a DAP?

Hello! basically the title. I already own a RG40XXV and tried to take it out with me to use as a DAP, but it's kinda big and uncomfortable for that. So I was thinking on selling it and getting a smaller one, and these two seemed to be my best bet from what I can get around in my country: Miyoo Mini Plus and MagicX Mini Zero 28.

Both consoles look really cool and are priced more or less the same, so I can't decide (and I saw some really cool pics on this subreddit that makes the decision even harder lol)

My highest priorities are:

  1. Small size to use it with one hand, so I can easily swap tracks, change volume or whatever even while riding on a crowded subway train.
  2. Good sleep mode that saves battery without the need to turn it off.
  3. Great for gaming up to PSX, but more importantly 8 and 16 bit systems.

Bonus points if it's something that I can use with hands-free controls! like stopping a track from the mic button on my headphones? or change volume from there as well (my RG40XXV doesn't register those inputs at all)

I'm more inclined on getting the Mini Zero 28: since it's based on android I heard that it's super easy to put it on sleep (just like a phone), I'm assuming it will register the buttons on my headphones with no problem and I also had a console roughly of the same size that was really comfortable to use

...but the Miyoo has really cool aesthetics and I heard the controls are really really good. Like it could be a more comfortable console than the Mini Zero 28? for gaming, at least. Maybe a worse DAP? It's a little bigger than the MagicX as well. More importantly, I don't know about the sleep mode, if the battery last or if it has to rely on shutting down to save power.

what are your thoughts? did you had any of these consoles? better yet, did you used both? Any insights would be greatly appreciatted! thanks in advance!

PD: hope my english is not too terrible to read lol

¿Vale la pena la Anbernic RG Rotate solo como reproductor de música? (Comparado con Phinistec Z6)

¡Hola a todos! Estoy considerando seriamente comprar una Anbernic RG Rotate con el objetivo principal de usarla como reproductor de audio digital (DAP). No me considero audiófilo, pero busco algo funcional y con buena capacidad.

​Actualmente tengo un Phinistec Z6 y, sinceramente, me parece pésimo. Busco algo que "simplemente funcione" y la RG Rotate me llamó la atención por estos puntos:

​Capacidad: Soporta expansión por SD de hasta 2 TB.

​Indexación: Puede manejar hasta 65,000 canciones (vi que incluso algunos Walkman de Sony se quedan en 55,000).

​Conectividad: El Bluetooth parece decente para el uso diario.

​Precio: Me parece muy competitivo para lo que ofrece.

​Mis dudas son:

​¿Qué tan fluida es la interfaz para navegar entre miles de canciones?

​¿Alguien ha tenido problemas de interferencia o ruido al usar el jack de 3.5mm?

​¿La batería rinde bien si solo se usa para música con la pantalla apagada?

​Sé que no es un equipo de alta fidelidad, pero si no se pide demasiado, ¿creen que pueda ser una buena compra o hay alguna "bandera roja" que deba saber?

​¡Gracias de antemano!

Best track on Late Registration for sure!

Album: Late Registration

Song: Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)

Artist: Kanye West

Device: TrimUI Brick

This song is definitely my favorite off LR, followed closely by Hey Mama and Touch The Sky. Kanye's verse about the blood diamond trade is one of his best.

Thank you u/DoomEngine1 for the Brick and the giveaway I got it from!

Shoutout to my carpet for absorbing all those throws

Update for my all-in-one media center for Linux handhelds. Beta testers now welcome!

XMPlayer is an all-in-one, XMB-inspired media suite designed specifically for handhelds running muOS (support for other firmwares are planned). It provides a clean interface for managing and enjoying your videos, music, and photos. It’s built with Love2D, so it stays lightweight and should still feel usable on devices with limited RAM. It's fully open source, repository available on GitHub.

A quick disclaimer:
This project's aim is to utilize XMB's ease of use for media content and many people's familiarity in the retro gaming community. This project does not aim to fully replicate or provide 1:1 functionalities with the original XMB interface of Sony devices. This project is a reimagination and adaptation, not a hard copy.

Since my last update here, I’ve added a lot more of the experience:

  • Video playback with resume support (through native mpv)
  • (Un)Mark videos as watched
  • Play all in order or shuffled for videos and music
  • Music playback with album and artist browsing
  • Continue playback while display turned off (+ lid closed for clamshells)
  • Auto sleep timer for music playback, button lock
  • Photo viewing
  • A basic file browser for access to media files outside the main directories
  • Theme customization, including light/dark modes, color themes, wallpaper, and visual effects
  • Many other visual improvements!

I’m now looking for beta testers who:

  • Use a recent version of muOS (Jacaranda)
  • Are comfortable navigating the Linux file system on handhelds
  • Don’t mind testing unfinished features and reporting bugs
  • Can help verify media paths, indexing, and device-specific behavior

If that sounds like you, I’d really appreciate the help. I’m especially looking for feedback on what breaks, what feels clunky, and what features should be prioritized next.

DM me if interested in testing this project. Just commenting your feedback below is also welcome and much appreciated!

I am struggling to pick a console for DAP. Please help!

The options I have in my contry are: Miyoo mini plus Rg35xx pro Rg35xx plus Rg40xxv RgCubexx R36s

I have heard anbernic in built 3.5mm audio jacks are bad and the usb type c dacs cant be supported, I have sony 1000xm5s as headphones, I can use them wired or wireless (having a good wired experience would be a plus point). Which one do i pick out of these for best sound quality? I have seen everyone buy trimui brick on this subreddit but its currently out of stock where I live.
