dual boot to rhapsody firmware
DavidGWRawson:
The only difference between the e200 and the R's is just the music subscription, right? So it's not a big deal to ditch the rhapsody firmware. Also, are you sure you need to do the bootloader install twice? All it's doing is overwriting the bootloader anyway..
zwaldowski:
What has to be done is the loading of the e200 loader on the e200R (which allows for bootloader patching, go figure), and then the patching itself. However, you must place the new e200 firmware on while in [e200] recovery mode so both get written, or else it won't boot next time.

My thoughts exactly, yet that was the only way I was able to recover into the e200 bootloader without dualbooting into a fading white screen. A bit messy, but for now it has to be.
DavidGWRawson:
Following the Instructions above, my sansa now dualboots(thanks :D) However, there are a few steps you can skip, because you are just putting something on that's coming right back off. I already skipped this step, with the same dualbooting effect. It's hard to explain, but you should be able to figure it out yourself. ;)

Sorry, that doesn't fill me with confidence.
I specifically bought a Rhapsody model for two reasons.
One, Subscritpion based music using Microsofts PFS (Play For Sure) DRM can be really flaky. On the Rhapsody Sansa's, they play Rhapsody's Native .rax files. The long and short of it, is that file transfers are much faster and reliable.
Also, Rhapsody Channels are really great.
I am really excited by the work you guys have done here. If I ever decide to stop using Rhapsody, then Rockbox may be an answer for me. However, if using Rockbox will force me to give up my tight Rhapsody integration, I'm not really interested in doing it yetl.
Keep up the good work.
