Rockbox: an occasional series
Regular readers will know that I use Rockbox, an open-source firmware replacement for certain digital audio players. Rockbox has recently announced a feature freeze pending the release of version 3--which is cool. Now I expect an orgy of Rockbox bug-squashing.
There's one bug in particular I'd like squashed, as it prevents me from running Rockbox in its full glory on my iRiver H340. But I recently snagged a Sansa e200 player for CHEAP on eBay. The Sansa e200 runs Rockbox, and runs it very well thank you. Indeed, Rockbox on the Sansa is miles better than the factory firmware. Remember to get a Sansa whose factory firmware is v. 1.1 or older, though; the v.2 updated firmware won't run Rockbox.
