curious--the state of rockbox on sansa 200e ?

(1/2) > >>

stairwayoflight:
Hello,

I was wondering what is the current status of rockbox on the sansa 200e devices. Specifically, how many bugs, etc. should I expect during installation and use? I am a linux user and can follow directions, I just want to know if everything pretty much works. (The rockbox docs on the main site don't seem unanimous on this one.)

(I need a linux-friendly player, and can't afford to damage my fiancees 5th gen ipod (or buy my own, I am a tradesman and may drop it or otherwise subject it to abuse). The microsd expansion slot seems like a good feature, if I buy a couple of gigs of memory and trash my device I could pick up another one and only lose half my investment ;-) The only other option is to buy a low-capacity player.)

Thank you for your help.
Tim

works mostly fine... some wierd audio gliches which will hopefully be fixed soon... other than that its fine.
rockbox cant use the microSD card at all yet

Eli:
I'm not sure if there is a right place to ask my questions, but will try. I'd like to know, will we see some needfull features in Rockbox, and when? Question are sorted in the order of importance.  ;)

1. FM Radio (I live in Europe, but my sansa e280 has a FM chip which works well with standard firmware).
2. MOV playback.
3. Voice Recording.

JdGordon:
1. not yet
2. most likely never
3. not yet

PromisedPlanet:
Would the Rockbox release for the Sansa 200e also work on the Sansa Connect?

Any contemplation of a Sansa Connect release?   ;)
