On this day, 22 years ago, the #Rockbox project started, co-founded by me. We wrote an open source firmware for mp3 players. On its 10 year anniversary 2011, I wrote this:

@bagder My first (and only, because smartphones) MP3 player was a SanDisk Sansa Fuse, and I ran Rockbox on it. I don’t recall whether I was after any specific features vs. the vendor software, or if it was just because I was starting to get interested in Linux and FOSS.
Anyways, thanks for making that possible
