Cowon D2 or D2+ ?

(1/1)

Miasmaman:
Hello,
i want to buy a new mp3-player the next days (a cowon d2 or d2+). I have read that there are no changes in hardware from the d2 to the d2+ (so that the d2+ software can be used with the normal D2). Because of the Design i would prefer the D2+ ... but will Rockbox for D2 also work with the D2+ (i think it should, but i am not sure and that would be a strong criterion in deciding which one i will buye).

(SOrry for my poor english), greetings, Miasmaman

LambdaCalculus:
We're not certain if the D2+ will accept the current D2 code, but remember that the Cowon D2 is not a supported target yet. It's still only meant for developer use.

Miasmaman:
I Know that it is in development, but i have to buy the player the next days and cannot wait until the development is done (if it will ever). So i am unsure if i should buy the d2+ or the normal d2. (I would use Rockbox imho only when i need gapless play ... and as far if i know this function is available with the actual dev-builds. But i have a lot of auiobooks that ar cuttet very unprecice and so this function is not unimportant to me).

TexasRockbox:
Perhaps of interest to the Rockbox developers is that people have successfully flashed their D2 with D2+ firmware (Cowon warns the player can be bricked if not careful) so the hardware can't be too different.
