description taken from the above link where the unit can be baught.
The Sansa E280 V2 is a great portable media player by itself, but when
Rockbox is installed on it, it makes it fantastic!
The menus, folders, and filenames are spoken, which makes this player as
accessible as any player out there. Using theVoiceBox utility, you can set
it up to use your choice of SAPI voices that are available on your own
computer to voice the folder and file names; however, itwill come completely
set up and speaking when you purchase it from us.
Rockbox allows the Sansa E280 V2 to use microSD and microSDHC cards
presently up to 16 GB, not just limited to themicroSD cards useable with the
Sansa firmware.
By adding a microSDHC 16 GB memory card, you can expand your player from 8
GB up to a whopping total of 24 GB atonce! (Once manufacturers have come out
with their 32 GB microSDHC card, you should be able to get a total of 40
GB!!) Of course, you can have an inexhaustablesupply of microSDHC memory
cards as well, making your storage capacity virtually unlimited!
Rockbox also adds much more functionality and allows you to play many
different file formats such as OGG Vorbis, FLAC,AAC, AIFF, and many others
aside from the usual MP3, WMA, WAV, etc. It won't however, play
DRM-protected files.
It provides much better control over the options for the player and is an
improvement over the original Sansa firmware. You getexcellent book marking
capabilities, keeping track of up to 10 files at one time. You can also move
back to an earlier bookmark if you so desire.
You can use your player to find out the time and date in 12 hour or 24 hour
format and has a sleep timer as well!
It gives you more control over the sound of your player by using the build
in graphic equalizer, stereo width, and other soundsettings.
The player has a built-in FM stereo receiver with plenty of presets so you
can save your favorite stations and access theminstantly.
When you plug this player into your computer, it comes up just like a
regular flash drive and you can copy and paste yourfiles onto it very
easily. There's no need for any music management software and the
inaccessibility associated with them.
The above is just a sampling of the many features of Rockbox; it can do a
lot more.
The Rockbox firmware is very impressive and makes the Sansa E280 V2 very
accessible.
It makes it very easy to navigate the menus and do just about everything
that is possible on this player.
