    Well my Ruizu X02 arrived so had a play yesterday.

    The Ruizu is currently £13.54 from 'Gearbest' and infinitely better than the ebay cheap cr*p (Although not THAT cheap around the £10:50 mark)

    It just works. Simple design. Folders work. Goes loud for headphones. 8GB with potential SD card upgrade. Headphones could be better, but for the money are perfectly adequate. (The equaliser can be customed though)
    Plays FLAC files as well as MP3s (Potentially others I am sure)
    The main plus point is the battery though. I had it running from around 11am to 8pm last night and the battery indicator has barely fallen.

    I HIGHLY recommend it for the cash (In fact I would state its highly unlikely to be beaten for the cash)

    I use an older 32GB iPod Touch which can't be updated beyond iOS 6. No problem for what I use it for. You get WiFi and Bluetooth and plenty of apps still work OK. They're pretty cheap now.

    I read somewhere the 'claimed' battery life of the ruizu was 100 hours. I thought BS and I am testing it as I type this. Thus far its getting close to 30 hours of playback time and the battery is showing as half full!
