Can I get my Sansa e250 to support micro sdhc?

(1/3) > >>

Zindree:
Just wanted to know if Rockbox would enable my Sansa e250 to use a micro sdhc card.

LambdaCalculus:
Yes it can. In theory, Rockbox should be able to read microSDHC cards up to 32GB... when they come out, of course.  ;)

Would you know if the RB will query the music stored on the SD card with the database menu, or would it be accessed through the FILE menu? My e250 is being delivered in a few days (Woot.com for 30 bux) and I will be installing RB on it. That would be a great function if I could view all the songs (total of 4gb) in one database.

Just thinking, that because it's a seperate partion, how RB handles the 'external' storage of the SD card. What if I have multiple SD cards, each with different catalogs of music, or files? Can I hot-plug the card without rebooting the e250?

Thank you,
Scott

LambdaCalculus:
I'll be honest and say that I'm not entirely sure how the music is handled on the Database menu. I don't own a Sansa e200, but I do want to purchase a c200 series soon to help facilitate testing on that platform. Since the c200 series also supports microSD cards, then I can get a good idea how the files are handled.

Looking around on the forums, however, will bring you the information you need. But perhaps a Sansa owner/dev/user can step forward to help answer that question.

As for hot swapping: I do believe we've had that added to SVN recently. Again, I'll let a dev or fulltime Sansa user step forward to clarify.

AlexP:
In the file view, the card appears as a separate directory.

In database, I believe will show card contents, but if you hot swap (which is supported), I believe you have to reinitialise the database to get the new card contents to show up, it will not autoupdate.
