--- End quote ---

This requires rockbox knowing the correct time from the computer.  If rockbox knows the correct time, why wouldn't it just use that and not bother writing the file? 

torne:
Why on earth would we mess about with a file containing the time (which requires a PC-side utility anyway) when there's a perfectly good way to do it with a SCSI command which Apple have already invented for us, and is already implemented in iTunes? :)

It just needs someone to finish the patch for it to actually set the time in Rockbox, and someone to write a utility (or modify rbutil) to send the command for people who don't have iPods or don't want to use iTunes. There's not much reason to speculate on other ways to do it...

Multiplex:
If I've read the recent changes properly this is being done...
