I am not gonna let this thread die.....

This feature would make the iriver H1XX a truly all-in-one solution for many serious musicians and field recordists.  There are quite a few that are watching RB develop on the sidelines who would use this feature.  I really cannot stress enough how important it would be to have this implemented.  16bit/44.1 would be the minimum needed but it would be a real professional tool if it could do 24bit at 44.1/48/96Khz.  The only option now for alot of folks is the Microtrack by M-Audio...a nice CF based SPDIF recording device, but far from perfect.  It seems like everything is there in the H1XX to do this except the code. 

We would all be extremely grateful if this feature were to come true in future versions of RB.  In fact, there are a few willing field recordists with rockboxed H120s ready to test if there is any need for beta testers.

Thats really good news. Even if it's not in the 3.0 release, it's good to know that someone actually looks at it. After all, this is the feature of the H1xx that most other players don't have.

This is truly great news!

I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm in case it doesn't end up happening.

But I can't help myself...  This is great news!  :o

I agree -- this is awesome!  I've been hoping this would be implemented for some time now.  Thanks, Preglow, for looking into this!

I believe that it was mentioned that the hardware would only do 20bit at 48khz max on the optical in. Even at at that, it's better that the ever popular JB3 could do.

I'm ready and very willing to do some beta testing also! Let's make this happen! WooHoo!

Same here. As soon as any daily build has digital in I'll start recording
and will then check the first recordings in Audacity to make sure no samples got lost...

Well your best bet for testing it is to be in the IRC channel while Preglow's awake and around working on it.

Hi,

everything I see is kind of a text file (never installed a plugin). What do I have to do to make it run on the H120 ?
What is it supposed to do ?
How can I commit to the IRC ?
