Regaurding Sansa e250r

<< < (6/7) > >>

MarcGuay:
I'm confused as to whether or not this is a e200R v2 or just a v2 model.  Anyway, if you have complaints to make to Best Buy you're wasting your breath here.  Go to the store and have a good ol' fashion consumer freak-out (with the receipt, of course), they should give you a refund.

Origanaly i was here to discuss getting rockbox onto my sansa, but until i figured out it was a v2 i ended up sorta complainin here  :). But ill be back on the forums when i go get my refund.

There are a couple of sure fire ways to determine:  
1.  If it's an "R" model for Rhapsody and
2:  If it's compatible with Rockbox (v2 vice v1).

The easiest way to determine if it's a Rhapsody model is to look at the menu items of the original firmware.  There will be a "Rhapsody Channels" entry there.  If it's not there, then It's not a Rhapsody model.  Also if you look under settings and USB modes, the Rhapsody models label their modes as "Play For Sure and Rhapsody" whereas the Non Rhapsody models display their modes as MTP and MSC respectively.

Now once you've determined you have either a Rhapsody or Non Rhapsody sansa, you need to determine if it's V1 or V2.

Look at your firmware version.  All V1 Sansas (Rhapsody or not) have a 1.x.x.x version number for their firmware.  Now be aware, the Rhapsody and Non Rhapsody firmware is not interchangable, nor are the installation instructions for Rockbox the same.  But if you have 1.x.x.x firmware on your Sansa E200 or E200R you can install Rockbox on it.  

If your firmware version is a 3.x.x.x version number, you are hosed.  It is a V2 version of the player and while there is ongoing effort to port Rockbox to the V2's it's going to take a lot longer to do so (if at all) than the V1's because the V1's were based on the Portaplayer chipset, which already had a Rockbox port for it on another player.  The Chipset for the V2's are known, but there are no other Rockbox players out there utilizing that chipset, so the Rockbox port may or may not take place.  (just like the 2nd gen Ipod Nano's and above aren't supported, and are unlikely to be in the near future)

But you have/had a Service->Rhapsody folder on the player... Is/was there anything inside the Rhapsody folder itself?  It seems strange for that to be there if it's a vanilla model...
