miles_power:
can rockbox run rar files on an ipod video 5.5 g

krazykit:
No.  How would Rockbox "run" a rar archive?  Do you want Rockbox to display what's inside?  Simply extract the archive?

miles_power:
i just want to see whats inside.

krazykit:
That's something you should do on your computer, then.  While there is a GPL unrar library, it's unlikely to be ported to Rockbox.It seems pretty silly to only want to view the contents of rar archives on a mobile player.  Why don't you just extract them when you first put them on the player?

adam917:
Why bother even making something just to see the contents if one can't just run the contents in their compressed form? Example: SPC collection is around 110 MB compressed & over 1.2 GB uncompressed. Similar for other emulated audio formats.
