Thanks shotofadds I got it to boot now. I tried to play some OGG files but no matter what file I choose I keep getting "Error accessing playlist control file" which no one else seems to have reported. Looking at the code it seems like it is failing to create a file, perhaps the 'Now playing' playlist file? I know writing to the internal memory is not yet supported so I would expect this to fail. Perhaps my tracks are failing to play for some other reason.
shotofadds:
Dave,
The "playlist control file" error will always come up at the moment - don't worry about it. There is currently a problem where music does not begin playing until the buffer is filled, wait up to 10 seconds and it should start.
Dicky Dave:
I could have sworn I waited at least 10 seconds for it play. Perhaps I pressed some buttons or something. Thanks shotofadds, I now have sound and will have a play with RB.
I have also set up my dev environment. I would like to help out the cause but like all RB developers I am time poor so I cannot promise anything. What areas of the codebase would you suggest I start familiarising myself with to best lend a hand?

That's actually quite a hard question to answer. The stock answer is usually "have a tinker with one of the plugins and see how you get on", but it all depends on what you want to do.
Bear in mind that the vast majority of Rockbox is common to all models, so it might be a good idea to familiarise yourself with things like the split between apps/ code and firmware/ or firmware/target code. The apps/keymaps files are useful things to understand as well, but really you just need to pick an area to look at and dive in...
If you're familiar with C it's generally not /too/ difficult to find your way around.
shotofadds:
There's now a "Work To Be Done" section on the CowonD2Info wiki page, for anyone out there who wants to help but doesn't know which areas need effort.
I fully appreciate that it might scare off as many people as it attracts, though... ;D
