I would like to say I endorce Laz's company as a provider of RB enabled players. I had a few small snags on a recent purchase but having spoken to a wide range of previous customers I am satisfied that this company offers a very high standard of service. Somewhere to consider for folks who aren't able to install/config Rockbox on a player or who would simply rather someone else does the work for them.
