WMA again

<< < (12/18) > >>

Yeah, real-time WMA decoding would make Rockbox even more totally ass-kicking than it already is. Seriously Inno and iRiver should just ressurect the H1xx series with a better screen and a teeny circuit breaker (for protection against incorrect power input) and just sell it with Rockbox pre-installed. WMA support would absolutely rule! Thank you, good luck and may the god of your choosing speed your progress.  ;)

Well, let's first see if Marsdaddy turns up here again. It's been over a month since his last post.

Antony:
Sounds like your doing some great work marsdaddy - but if you've hit a brick wall or won't have the time to continue things for a while, i think there are a number of people anxiously anticipating this codec (including me) and also a number of people willing to lend a hand if you want. That aside i fully understand wanting to achieve it yourself, i'm exactly the same! keep up the good work.

techSage:
This is a most exciting project you've undertaken, Marsdaddy.  Please continue you work - this should be a huge deal when you get it working - remember when HP didn't add (enable, actually; since the PortalPlayer chip supports it natively) WMA support to the iPod despite the rumors?  Just the rumors made a pretty big splash.  I've been waiting for this ever since HP dropped that ball.

I would finally buy an iPod if/when this works.

Llorean:
It wouldn't allow you to play DRM-protected WMAs anyway.
And there are better formats for you to convert your CDs to, so WMA shouldn't really be a show-stopper from buying an MP3 player supported by Rockbox.

Also, where did you get that the PortalPlayer chip natively supports WMA? Are you using "supports" in the sense that it's a multipurpose processor and can decode anything someone writes a codec for?
