MicroSD expansion on Sansa e250 w/ Rockbox

(1/1)

TheNumberOneShmuck:
To the best of my knowledge, my Sansa e250 will only accept regular MicroSD cards, 2gb and below. I heard that installing Rockbox will allow use of MicroSD HC cards for 4+ gb of extra storage. Is this a fact?

Yes. Note however that as rockbox doesn't have its own usb mode yet, you probably need a cardreader to actually put files on the card.
You could also put files on the internal flash and copy them to the sdhc card from within rockbox

TheNumberOneShmuck:
Installing Rockbox won't delete the MP3s I already have on the player, will it?

JEJ:
Rockbox uses about 15 Mb of your HD but it won't overwrite anything. This thread might help you if you plan on using a microsd crad on a Sansa e250 http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=17599.0 you do not need an exterbal reader, another bonus from RB
