what does RockBox mean？

Llorean:
Generally you should actually read a thread before responding to it.

psycho_maniac:
well SORRY if i read it a little too fast.

Serenity:
I always saw "Rockbox" as a playful mash of a few ideas in one otherwise nonsensical compound word:

Rock - as in the action of rocking or shaking, in this case jarring the dust off a cramped, outmoded operating system and unlocking shiny new potential.  Also meaning a popular music style associated with rebellion.

Box - not only reminiscent of "jukebox" when paired with "rock" in this way, but also a reference to the boxy nature of most MP3 jukeboxes.

I think maybe I think too much about this stuff...
