First Sorry for my English.
With Rockbox i can not use my SD-Card.

The Rockbox Freez 100% while Playing a Song, or Pause a Song, or Skip an Song. From intern Memory it work.

Copy Files to internal files will play all files.

The SD-Card work with OF Perfekt. The Sandisk Firmware have no Trouble with the SD-Card.

Nice Support here.  

Go Back to Original Firmware now and forget Crapbox.

Thanx for nothing.

I am not aware of any currently known outstanding bugs in the rockbox sd card driver for the clip zip. Problems like these are usually very hard to diagnose without having the card giving the problems.

[EDIT]Actually, I do have a patch that changes something about the driver, that could perhaps help you, at the expense of a possibly little higher power consumption (i.e. lower battery runtime). Please let me know if you want to try that.

Yep, that attitude will get you loads of support from unpaid volunteers giving up their spare time to supply an incredibly complex yet entirely free project.

Did you actually pay for the support? You should ask for a refund!

This disables a feature that completely powers down the sd card controller between accesses.

Hi,

I am not sure my issue is related to this one,  I bought a new sansa fuze v2 and successfully rockboxed on Wednesday and copied music files to SD card and sorted under multiple folders like old songs one folder and new ones another folder,etc...then yesterday I played the music from one folder without any problem until the last song finished and I tried to switch to the menu then it got stuck with message showing "loading", device was frozen none of the keys were functioning and tried to connect the device using usb cable to laptop and it was not detected there too. All this time display and blue light was on without any blinkering Only option left for me to dry out the battery.

Today again I charged the device and played music from another folder and same happened again and waiting for the battery to dry out meantime I googled and found this thread.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

This link is dead.  Is there a new one?  I'm having a similar issue (I think RockBox isn't powerful enough to support class 10 cards, but my only working card that's large enough is class 10), and I really don't want to waste my time trying to figure out how to get the OF to work properly. I'd like to try this.

I think RockBox isn't powerful enough to support class 10 cards, but my only working card that's large enough is class 10

FWIW, tHe SD card class is basically meaningless.

That's not what my research suggests.  In at least 90% of Rockbox exclusive microSD card problems talked about online, class 10 cards are the culprits.  Personally, I've gotten two cards to work, and the third (which is currently the only one I have with the capacity to be used long term in an MP3 player) is class 10.  I have seen no evidence of anyone getting a class 10 card to work on RockBox on a SanDisk Clip Zip.

I'd like to be the first.  I can't really afford to replace this card right now.  So, if you know of a new link to this patch, that would be great.  Thanks.

Well if you know better than us, maybe you can use the results of your research to fix the bug yourself!
