Thx a million for everyone who spent so much of their time hacking the gigabeat F!
I just got mine from ebay and had a lot of (legal) mp3s to load from my linux boxen. I really hated the idea of tying my player to my work M$ pc. Not just the inconvienience but DRM as well .... ugggg.
I looked for linux2gigabeat sync software at first. I thought that rockbox might mean "flashing" the firmware and I *clutched* at having, at least, the fallback of M$. But I took the leap[1] and I am GLAD I did. Rockbox is easy, fast, and more flexible than the original interface. [1]Not too mention the safety of not flashing anything and having the option of going back to "their" software.
Not only the ease, but I paid ~100-200USD less for a plain-non-media-center model and I can REALLY play movies .... yippe! :-))
You guys did great!
