My experience with Rockbox (first hour)

(1/4) > >>

This thing Rocks!!  :o

I downloaded 25gb of music in less than 40 mins using simply copy/paste. I installed my favorite themes and started playing my music. Started also playing with the sound settings and man... The possibilities that Rockbox gives you are endless. Blows everything else out of the water!

Rockbox simply converted the mediocre (due to firmware) Gigabeat into an awesome mp3 player. Respect to those responsible for this gem  8-)

lights0ut:
glad to see you're enjoying yourself ;) kudos to the devs

vsl2005:
Yeah, since I found this for my Archos JBV2's I won't buy a player unless it ports Rockbox. Speaking of which - my two JB V2's are getting somewhat long in the tooth. Can anyone recommend an alternative to the iPod available in the 80Gb range?

Once again thanks to all the developers for one of the best pieces of software ever!

betamaxman:
Yes same here, the aqua theme is my fav. Same time line as well an hour. Sadly though I may not keep it on my ipod. I use an AV ipod dock connected to my home theater. This one allows for a full screen ipod like menu system for accessing ipod files (unlike others). It requires ipod tv mode to be enabled so unlikely to jive with rockbox. I realy like this otherwise. Is there a jpg plugin. Nevermind , on my way to look.  8-)

polo4455:
Yeah, the only problem with Rockbox is that it will limit my options for my next player. I will have to find something that can be Rockboxed... And the case of my Gigabeat F40 is so revealing: the most important aspect of these type of gadgets is the software not the hardware (granted that there are no huge discrepancies between the main manufacturers).
