My opinions on release 3.0

[GodEater]

It does that too 

[saanaito]

Oh, it does? But..... how? I don't see any means for that anywhere......

I haven't used this particular program, but often programs that allow you to rename files can create folders by specifying the path in the file name.  For example, renaming to:
<artist>/<album>/<track number> - <track name>
would produce a folder for the artist and inside a folder for each album, and inside that the tracks in order.  Hope that's helpful.

If you're using Ex Falso already, why not use that to do the renaming? It supports doing it too.

I want to make a bunch of folders; I've already used it to rename a bunch of files.

I have yet to use a tagger which won't make both.  Tag & Rename I know will.  This is a question for your tagger of choice's support forums, not Rockbox's.

Is there a 'roadmap' or an estimated timeframe (or a deadline or cut-off point) for release 3.0?

[JdGordon]

its looking like late august at the moment, and both show stoppers are fixed so there is no reason for it to not happen

Sansa C200 should not be released until The OF is not needed for things like charging and transfering files.

This was discussed on IRC and most people seemed to think it wasn't a big deal, since using the OF for file transfer works smoothly enough on the Sansas.  Though I think there was some thought that automatic rebooting back into the OF should be fixed if at all possible.

yeah i agree, it would be nice to have all the charging/file transfers in the Rockbox firmware itself but since it probably aint going to happen anytime soon i can easily live with it since it's generally not a problem like you where saying that 'most people' where saying since using original firmware for that is pretty easy and not troublesome.

but what i was curious on... is there any estimates as to when we could expect the v3.0 release? (i know people dont like giving estimates but even a estimate within a half year (i.e. first half of next year) would be fine by me )

p.s. a before Christmas of 2008 release of v3.0 would be nice though

p.s.s. i recently got back from a trip out of state i took and took my Sansa e250 with me and used it for hours on the way down and it's been pretty stable (the build i was using was r18030) so as far as i can tell Rockbox is quite stable for general use through the 'database' menu's etc... i was using only .OGG files. (more specifically 45kbps avg bit rate ones)

sorry, i just noticed the 'late august' above ... i was reading the first page a little bit and just replied... sorry for not reading through it all but i was in the process of doing that.
