Rockbox will work with "Archos 2" ?

[Cowles]

Hi there!

I just got a new ARCHOS 2 Player, and am wondering if i can use Rockbox with it.
If so - what release can i install?
And if not, are you planning to get to this version?

(It's not the V2 (FM) Recorder, it's just "2")

Maybe this is answered somewhere else, but i could not find any post when searching.

It will not.  All supported players are listed on the frontpage of www.rockbox.org.
Images of all supported players are at http://build.rockbox.org/

So is there going to be a Rockbox version for Archos 2? The original firmware just sucks

If it's that bad then just return the player, check the supplied list of supported Rockbox players, and search out ebay.

The Archos 2 is the most bang-for-the-buck you can buy. I bought it for 40£ (shipping included). Amazon.com sold it for 32$ earlier.

Thte features are impressive. And the things I like most is the standard mini-usb port and the SDHC expansion slot, 8GB internal storage is also good.

I used Rockbox on an earlier device Sandisk Sansa e260. The firmware on the Archos 2 is really REALLY bad, in comparison. It cannot resume an MP3 at the same position after a pause and a power-cycle, which means that audiobooks is a no-no.

Hopefully they will release a better firmware for the Archos 2. But one could still dream about Rockbox on this device. It would be a perfect match

I don't see that this thread is going to serve any more purpose really, so I'm going to lock it.
