Thanks, nls. So, if I understand you correctly (which I might not), you are explaining why Rockbox has to be loaded after the player is loaded with an international firmware - because the US firmware keeps the DRM-containing portion of the flash (or the entire flash?) protected. Well, I don't have the skills to do anything, but I guess I was also wondering whether this capability was at all on the horizon - if anyone's working on it. I'm so tempted to rockbox this player, but I know I can't go back afterwards. Using rockbox on my H120, I'd forgotten how limited iRiver firmware is.
