Seconded, I have it on a couple old players and love it so much.
Most supported players are getting old and hard to find though, so I would welcome a port to other platforms, say a bare metal install on a Nano or Orange PI or even shrinking it to fit on smaller MCUs like the esp32, that is, no tools or games, just what it needs to play music through an external DAC (the Odroid GO once fitted with DAC and phones jack could become a really nice option).

Yeah, stuff like note-taking software, Doom remakes, video playback, etc. used to be such amazing features to me, but they just aren't relevant anymore now that I have a touch-screen phone in my pocket.
Just give me theming, the Rockbox media playback support we know and love, the DSP system, playlisting system, etc. and I'm good to go.
