DATA ABORT

[woyciesjes]

    Well, yes, my version _is_ working differently. That's way I responded with what version I had, because it was not entirely clear from Chronon as to when the feature was added. So I could find out if my version was supposed to have it or not. He then very helpfully replied that my version didn't have it, so I haven't said anything since; no time yet to update.

In general, if you haven't put forward the minimum effort to make your reply useful or informative, you probably should not make it at all. 

   This part of the conversation could very quickly get OT, so I think that email would be the best place to take this. Agreed?

   I do try to stay up with when features are added to Rockbox, and I do recall discussions about USB Support being tested, but never saw any "announcement" that it had been added to Current builds. 'Tis possible I may have missed it. If so, where should I have been looking?

First project news entry on the main page.

Thank you. I shall keep an eye on that.

You should not email me.

[woyciesjes]

You should not email me.

    Wasn't planning on it. I was just giving you permission to send email to me, if you wanted to continue this discussion.

Well, the fact that you shouldn't report behaviour of old or outdated builds is something that could bear repeating from time to time anyway.

Well, the fact that you shouldn't report behaviour of old or outdated builds is something that could bear repeating from time to time anyway.

     True, to a point. If a feature should be the same; hasn't changed for the past 30 versions; then the behaviour someone is seeing while using a version that is only 20 older would be relevant, right?
     Now, if you would like to hear my thoughts on this particular thread, by all means shoot me an email, or my AIM is woyciesjes.

[Llorean]

No, it's not necessarily relevant. Because while the obvious feature may not have changed, related code may have changed that has either introduced new bugs, or fixed old ones, changing another aspect of the behaviour.

Unless you feel qualified to read the entirety of the changelog, and understand exactly what every update fixes or breaks, please update first.

[woyciesjes]

   I understand your point of view, and I will do my best to follow your guidelines here.

Thanks for the intelligent discussion, and look forward to working together to make Rockbox great.
   I don't know if people say it enough, but thank you to you, the developers, and the admins here for all of the effort put in to Rockbox. It really is appreciated.
  Yeah, it may sound cheesy, but coming from a computer support background, I know how little we hear compliments vs. complaints.

well, i had the same data abort problem yesterday but i change the theme to one that didnt show the cover art and tried playing the same song and it didnt freeze on me so maybe that effects it in some way.
