There are other, more peripheral, ways to contribute as well.  Keeping the wiki and manuals up to date is certainly welcomed.  And contributing advice to new users on these forums also lightens the load.

Developers are quite different from end users. For example, while devs probably also would use Rockbox Utility there is absolutely no need for them. End users frequently have trouble installing Rockbox without a graphical tool ...

That would defeat the way open source works: it's open, and this also implies discussion about features and the development process.

Also, very few of the developers even read the forums.

For those of you still trying to find a solution, I suggest trying foobar2000 with a plugin calls foo_dop. It should read the itunes database fine and converts all playlists into foobar playlists (and I think recently it starts to support smart playlist converting to foobar2000's autoplaylist as well). And from that you can easily save those playlists to m3u or m3u8, which will be understood by rockbox.

Additionally, foo_dop lets you have your own folder structure (instead of the F00, etc. folders) and build a itunes database with that as well. That means that you can save your music in logical format, i.e. something like \music\artist\album\trackname and can still use the original firmware when you want to. It is worth a try - and you can't go much wrong since foobar2000 is one of the best audio players around.

EDIT: spelling and grammar : )

My bad, I had missed it ! Donation made, I am glad to be able to contribute at least something.

I will duly have a look at the wiki and see what I can do at that early stage. I probably need a few more weeks of using RB to start giving advice to others though.

Unfortunately I'm one of those darn macusers so sadly no Foobar for me... Might try it in Parallels Desktop though, if anything just to try the playlist export. Thanks for the pointer.

[EDIT] having trouble finding foo_dop, the page of the dev doesn't open, hopefully this has not been abandonned. If someone had an alternative link (ie not starting with www.yuo.be), would appreciate, thanks.
