The rockbox site describes the Fuze v2 port as "unstable": http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMS. Is that out-of-date or overly paranoid?

Neither, it just isn't feature complete. You can't charge the battery, and a few other "core" features aren't fully stable. I use it every day and it works great but I understand why it is marked unstable.

I was handed a Sansa Fuse v2 some time ago. At the time, I looked at the RockBox site and things looked unusable, (no battery-charging, playback speed slightly off, etc.), so I didn't install it then.

Then, just a day or two ago, I looked again, and those major problems all seem gone. I put RockBox on this device and it seems to work very well. The battery charges fine. The only feature that's clearly missing is USB support, but it's simple enough to hold the LEFT button down to boot the original firmware and use that for USB transfer.
