Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
Although the very thought of just getting a cheap mini off eBay and popping a 32GB CF card into it is indeed tempting...
Every time a major blog/slashdot/make/hack-a-day mention CF in iPod Minis their price on eBay skyrockets.
I have exactly the same adapter and 8Gb of sloooow A-Data.
In addition, 32Gb CF A-Data is 149$ now..
I assume you're talking about the A-Data 'speedy' card (orange color). Is the slowness a problem? I have an adapter here but still looking to buy a good CF card.
BTW I do seem to have a problem with the conversion in that the gigabeat gets locked in the disk mode after the usb cable is removed and the only way I can reboot it is to power cycle it (with the handy battery switch). This doesn't seem to hurt anything except that I lose the time of day (and have to reset the clock) every time I download new music.
Is that this problem?
I'm running a Gigabeat F20 with the latest bootloader (21st April 2007) and whenever I use the bootloader USB mode (device off; plug in USB; power up device) I find it does not restart correctly.Using either WinXP or Win2k, I do the 'Safely Disconnect' operation, which causes no change on the Gigabeat screen (but I don't know whether it should) and then when I unplug I just get blank screen with the backlight permanently on and no buttons functioning. It requires a battery switch-off to reset it.

The speed is not a big issue, though. The only thing I might think is some problems with playing loseless ape files. I had never tried this format when my hdd was alive, so I don't know whether this is the issue with reading speed or cpu speed or something else.
