RockBox Praise!
warrior1972:
I have to add my thanks to all involved!!!
I run Linux, and hated being chained to Windows to get full use of my Sansa e260 v.1
I had Rockbox loaded within the 1st hour I owned my Sansa. I could never get the Sansa media converter to work correctly. I dug into the Rockbox site and found the link to download WinFF for Linux and Windows. It worked effortlessly on the first try.
It even converted a full length movie into a .3g2 file, and it plays flawlessly on my friggin cell phone! (A Motorola Razor V3, with a 1Gb MicroSD card.)
So Now I have 2 portable media devices, thanks to the folks behind Rockbox!
Heck, I'd Rockbox my phone if I could!
SindreD:
What I don't understand is why the portable music player-developers never incorporate rockbox instead of wasting time and money on making their own, crappy software. I think the player would become far more popular if people discovered the possibility to modify the look and behaviour of their player to the extent rockbox allows.
Praise Rockbox!
warrior1972:
I agree 100%.
I like the level of control Rockbox gives me over my device. The original operating system is worthless.
LambdaCalculus:
But without crappy original firmware, there would be no Rockbox. ;)
Remember... Rockbox started because one man (Björn Stenberg) was frustrated with the horrible firmware on the Archos Jukebox/Player series, and he decided to write his own instead. Thus, Rockbox was born.
So remember: crappy firmware on your player? Start a effort to port Rockbox to it!
