My opinions on release 3.0
Strife89:
About the only bug that bothers me is the delay there is on decoding .MP3s if I quickly switch tracks, i.e., before they're buffered well. I wound up adjusting my habits to conform, but I'd still love to see it improved. :)

What do you mean by "decoding"? Do you mean the displaying of the track information has a delay, or is the delay before audio actually starts playing?
In both cases, enabling dircache helps to an extent. Keep in mind that not everything can be buffered and that a hard drive has to be spun up.

A C250 is flash based and probably not part of his problem

The latter. I've been using r17979 for about a week now, but I haven't seen any notes about changes in the playback code (and yes, I know that other code can affect playback performance) (and yes, I will update). :)

On a whim, I turned that on yesterday. Although

I still noticed an improvement. My guess is that part of the problem might have to do with my enormous MUSIC folder on the internal memory: the MUSIC folder has no subdirectories, just 500+ files (I looked at the list limits, just to be sure).

I'd settle for a good USB driver. The OF now takes ten minutes to refresh its database when my memory card is inserted (I can remove it for charging) (I have dozens of cihptunes and MIDIs; that's mostly why it takes so long, and why it refreshes on EVERY OF boot and after every USB "session").

In fact Any target like this should in my opinion not be released. Rockbox should perform all basic functions before a version 3.0 release for these targets.

I didn't even realize there was a version 3.0 already, glad to hear =)
How do I determine if I have the latest stable release? The version screen on my player says:
r18064-080715
Thanks for your reply.
