Jukebox Recorder 20 record in lossless?

[VanJay011379]

Hi,  thanks for the replies.

The exact model I have is at http://ecoustics-cnet.com.com/4505-6496_7-8408812.html?part=ecoustics-cnet

So there may be a way to record wav?  How about any other lossless format? 

Anything better than mp3 would be fine.  How about AAC?

Like I said earlier in this thread, we can barely do WAV, since the MAS memory is so small.

Any update on WAV recording? I sure would like to see this feature in Rockbox!

bump..

any word on doing wav?

[Stringrazor]

Bump...just wondering WAV recording is a real possibility or still a pipe dream

[LinusN]

AFAIK, we are still awaiting a MAS code delivery from Archos.

I may be the only person still interested in this topic. That said, any news?

I tried to download PCM microcode into MAS3587F (according to PCMAudioRecorder_Documentation.pdf) but without success -  seems that chip hungs on any command after call to mas_run(0x1000) ;
Is anybody else working on PCM playback for Archos? Or there is no hope...

Regards,
Max.

There is hope, we now officially have the MAS firmware to do WAV (since quite a while, actually, as some of you may know), see the datasheet section.

I had no time to try it out. It's a suggested topic for the DevCon2006, but most developers are interested on other platforms these days...

But I think that many (or most?) users still use Rockbox installed on Archos hardware.
And many of them would welcome a lossless recording feature.

The old standard answer "if you miss a feature, add it yourself" doesn't work in that case because only the gurus have the specs...

I think re-programming the MAS and adding lossless recording for Archos Recorders at the DevCon would be appreciated by a larger amount of users than any feature addition to Ipod, Iriver & co.

But I also understand the developers, which are probably bored by the Archos platform and want to play with new toys...

The specs are on the datasheet page:

As I wrote a couple of posts before that DSP code didn't work for me
Anybody else tried?

Hi there,

as some of you might already know, Jörg ([IDC]Dragon) and Jens (amiconn) wrote a working plugin for the playback of WAV files.

See
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4902/edit
and
http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2006-03/0397.shtml
onward.

The plugin made it into the daily builds, so everyone can try it out.

Unfortunately, nobody has tried to write a test plugin for recording of WAV / PCM files yet. Now that the DSP code is downloaded correctly on the MAS and has been tested for playback, maybe someone in this forum could try to get the recording part done? How about you, Max?

As I have already written in the Rockbox mailing list a couple of times, I too am really interested in doing lossless recordings. I think it would be a great new feature for the Archos Recorders!

Greetings

I have started on a WAV recording plugin.
Can't say when it'll be ready, it's a "background task" of mine.

Brilliant!
