Rockbox General > Rockbox General Discussion
I have the Iriver H10. How do I sync my files?
Lemmy Caution:
I'll probably keep the current build, then. I do question your wisdom here, though - I struggle to imagine a situation in which Rockbox is so mission-critical that stability takes priority to functionality. It is currently doing everything I could possibly want for a player - other than stabilizing its existing functionality, I don't know what future updates could offer that would appeal in the absence of the function. But, that is for the developers to decide. I am grateful for this build, at least. It is working fine for me.
On second thought, I guess data corruption would be enough of a problem for enough people. So, nvm. ^^

Well it could corrupt transferred files, or worse your entire filesystem. That is why it isn't enabled yet. Surely the first thing you want from your player is that it will work? It won't with a corrupted filesystem.

Well, it's just a music player. Reformatting the drive and transferring the media files back onto it is trivial. The real math I have to do is compare to how frequently I would have to do that versus the time/trouble it takes to boot into the original firmware, which is something I suppose I will figure out over time. But I do take back my last remark, in that I do see the wisdom in keeping possibly data-corrupting builds out of the standard releases. I'm willing to trade the risk of having to reformat my iRiver's drive, so I'll generally look for builds that do let me use the USB.

Actually, there's more than "just" the risk of corrupting data. On some setups it doesn't work at all (although the H10 seems to be pretty good in this regard, but we aren't sure), so some people would have to reboot to the OF manually

If you are set up for compiling builds it is trivial to enable Rockbox USB mode for your player if you would like.
