In case there is a better forum for asking what to buy, I seem to suck at finding it.
Anyways, I wanted to get me a c250 2gb for several reasons. First I thought it's usable like a normal USB stick, because that's a plus for how I want to use it (should be easily transportable and I want to be able to recharge it on the go), but then I discovered it uses a "special" data cable.
.) Can I buy this cable in a shorter version? Is it hard to shorten it myself (or get my neighbour to do it, he's a lot better at soldering). Or differently: does anybody know what's inside that cable?
.) I like the ability to upgrade that thing with a micro SD card. How big can that one be? Will I need to choose whether the player gets the music from the card or the internal memory or can I just "merge" it somehow and seamlessly play tunes from both parts of the memory? - alright I answered that one myself with the sansa FAQ, I guess. Using Rockbox I can put in up to 32Gb and I could create a playlist that contains songs from internal and SD and then I could listen to them seamlessly. Did I get that all right?
.) will rockbox improve the audio of the player a bit? even just the volume? because... vanilla edition didnt quite blow me away.
