And I do not have much patience to deal with the zillions of options in Rockbox... :o)

x2 . the original firmware is simple , just what i need

btw. nice to meet people from brasil , im from argentina

My Fuze couldn't do gapless playback until I rockboxed it. Along with the faster startup/shutdown and better battery usage, it was enough to convince me to go through the trouble.

Oh, I also play Tetris on my Fuze when I'm bored.

more formats, really? 

I don't see a reason why not to, to be honest. I rockboxed my Clip+ as soon as I got it so it would be compatible with the entirety of my media library (much of which is in AAC) and because I hear it increases the battery life. Besides, using Rockbox is simple enough and I appreciate having the option to toy with sound settings and EQ presets should I want to.

yup, pretty sure it doesn't play aac and maybe musepack otherwise...maybe im wrong?

Man,, It can even play snake game. Is it not the enough reason?

good reason! but the problem with the games its that you cant listen while playing games

I can still play music while playing games on my Rockboxed Fuze.

You need to change your player to MSC mode for installation. Until you change this installation will fail."

You'll need to go into the settings menu on the player, look for "USB Mode" and switch it to MSC.

There is absolutely no reason not to, but so many reasons to do it. Customizable UI, apps, games, better EQ are just a few. Possibility of better battery, ability to play all formats (I think), and ability to use practically every form of audio adjustment imaginable, along with gapless playback. You could go on for a while, or just go on rockbox site and see their check list. Rockbox is win.
