Jukebox Recorder 20 record in lossless?

(1/12) > >>

VanJay011379:
Hello,

I have an Archos Jukebox 20 mp3 recorder.

Is there any way I can record lossless such as wav, flac, ape?

Archos said it will not be supported at http://www.archos.com/support/faq/faq_jukebox_recorder.html#category_4

Also, I noticed the manual on this site at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxManual says wav cannot be done.  How about another lossless format?

Sincerely,

Chris

LinusN:
Only MP3 is possible.

PaRu:
it is a little bit like the question which i had with the aac files.
can anybody tell me what sort of hardware the jukebox does have? why isn't it possible to encode / decode other codecs? wav files should be at leesed possible because you only have to take the result from the AD-converter and write it down in a file.
if games and other self written stuff can be played, why ain't it possible to create wav-files?

LinusN:
The jukebox has a dedicated MP3 chip called MAS3507D (Player/Studio) or MAS3587F (Recorder). This chip can only handle MP3. In theory, we can reprogram the DSP in the MAS35xx to handle WAV, but the full documentation for the DSP is not publicly available...

[IDC]Dragon:
I'm working on this. Both Archos and Micronas decisionmakers have agreed to publish the MAS software to us, I was present in that meeting (at the CeBIT).
Now they just have to move, wrap and ship this this. I'm expecting it any day.
