Comes with the free/open source aftermarket firmware Rockbox, version 3.15. To boot to the original firmware, press 'Rewind/Previous' while turning this device on. The back may be sticky, hence it has a cut up sticker to reduce the likelihood of sticky fingers or hands. There is a small crack on the LCD near the top left that can obscure part of that area, but the rest of the LCD remains functional. Includes an OEM USB cable, but is not the one that shipped with this device.
