no A-B Repeat in the menu

[Berber]

Using the first time Rockbox and are amazed that I did not find it before...
Nice skins, superb functions, plug ins, gimmicks and all easy to use! Great stuff!

But I am wondering there is no A-B repeat as told in the manual?
I go into the menu: Settings - Playback Settings - Repeat.
I find: Off - All - One - Shuffle

I am very interested in this A-B-feature as a musician to practice phrases.

I have an iPod Nano 2nd Generation with 2GB.

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,
Berber

Update the version of Rockbox on your iPod... A-B repeat was disable don nano2g until I spoke on IRC about that and someone enabled it. Now it works exactly like described in the manual.

Thanks for the hint, but I am already using the Rockbox 3.8.1 latest release...
or should I use a current build?

Use a Current Build.

I'm under the impression A-B repeat was enabled before 3.8.1 was released, but most likely I'm wrong.

[Berber]

With a Current Build A-B Repeat is working fine.
Thanks a lot for your fast replies!

Btw, is it possible to get rid of the Apple operating system only running the Rockbox?

Not completely - there is a bootloader in flash Rockbox doesn't replace. Replacing this involves the risk of bricking the player permanently, and so far nobody tried to do this. At least as far as I know.

Maybe have a look over at the freemyipod project...

Like the Rockbox bootloader though (and this is pretty much the only similarity it shares with the Rockbox bootloader other than being able to boot Rockbox), it is still capable of booting the Apple firmware image, but installation also offers the (optional) choice of completely un-installing the firmware partition to recover (a fairly trivial) amount of space.

The freemyipod project and the Rockbox bootloader should be looked at as being completely separate, and freemyipod tools/firmware is aimed at a more advanced user.

Bricking risk is incredibly minimal, but it is possible to use the tools to do some very, very silly things that *can* brick your iPod, but only if you made an effort to specifically ignore instruction or not to seek it in the first place

It may be worth your while to drop in to their IRC channel over at #freemyipod on Freenode to get your feet wet discussing the pros and cons before you jump in the deep end.
