Question: Rhapsody functionality in rockbox
« on: April 16, 2008, 12:07:40 PM »
I have an e200 sansa, 8GB model.  (e280).  I would like to try rockbox and plan to install soon.   I've read through the forums and install manual, and only have one question.  I use Rhapsody to manage my playlists, and occasionally download new songs to my player with a "to Go" subscription.  These files are DRM protected.  My basic question is can I still connect my sansa to my PC over USB and use it with Rhapsody while running Rockbox, or will I need to use the "dual boot" method I read about in the forums? 

Thanks in advance!

You'll have to dual boot. Rockbox does not, and may never, play any DRM files.

Thats what I figured, which isn't too big a deal for me, because I don't keep anything DRM protected anyway, but it is convenient to be able to drag and drop from rhapsody.  So I guess another question would be if Rhapsody sees rockbox as a player at all?  Will it even show up as a device in rhapsody?

Currently, rockbox does not have USB enabled on the Sansa, so you will need to use the Rhapsody firmware to transfer files regardless.
