A bit off-topic for this thread but:

--- Quote from: Thomas-R on November 23, 2010, 09:11:14 AM ---By the way, if I record music from my Sat-Receiver (Spdif) after about 4 hours I have corrupt files on the Jukebox - I work with the File-Split Option. It's always, with CF or with HD. And that's strange, it seems to have someting to do with the Volume (with SPDIF ???) it works better with lower Volume.

This is a known bug in the encoder chip's firmware so to speak and it doesn't have to do with SPDIF as it also happens with long recordings on my OndioFM which doesn't have SPDIF. There are (were) plans how to work around this problem in software (Rockbox) but nothing happened for years and specific development for these targets has stalled a bit so I wouldn't hold my breath...

Hello,
the Jukebox Recorder with CF is still working - I tried it on my PC on USB without batteries... and it woked :-)  That's perfect because I could also use it on USB on a car radio! 8) By the way I got a new CF adapter where the pins are not in an angle, there is one row of pins on the upper and the other row on the unter side of the circuit board - fits perfect!

I tried on an other Jukebox Recorder to modify (same adapter, same CF-Card, also USB 2.0) but no power over USB!!!!! ???  The Jukebox works fine with batteries and installed Rockbox on CF.


What's the difference between this Jukeboxes, does it depend on manufacturing year ??


Ich just googled and found something about DMA mode on CF-Adapters. Has it something to do with this??? I think not but.... maybe!!?!?

Hello all !

3 years later ... I did the upgrade !
-> Archos Jukebox Recorder 20 V1 / SN : 022107794
-> Rockbox 3.13
-> Hardware Info : ROM: 1.28 / Mask: 0x0302 / Flash: M=BF D=D6 / Boot ROM: V1

CF Card : Kingston CF/32GB-U2 Carte CompactFlash Ultimate 266x - 32 Go
(Amazon.fr : http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B002RCQ0SU)
IDE -> Compact Flash adapter : Dexlan Adaptateur SSD IDE pour 2 Compact Flash Maitre et Esclave 2.5"
(Amazon.fr : http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B002QWDKFW)
There is also a Dexlan adapter with only one Master slot.

1- Format the CF card in FAT-32 using a CF card USB adapter (I'm using a Mac)
2- Copy the existing files of the JBR 20 to the CF card (including the hidden folders and files, I had to make it visible with Onyx utility software)
3- Disassemble the JBR 20, take out the HDD (Hitachi DK23DA-20F / SN ZGVB11MJ2U)
4- Install the CF card in the adapter (I used the Master slot, the Slave is working also)
5- Install the adapter and reassemble the JBR
6- Boot ... And it works perfectly, without having to deal with "UDMA" considerations or "fixed mode" and so on.
First attempt : perfect, and with power over USB !

See you !

Ps : I love you Rockbox team !
