Jukebox Recorder 20 record in lossless?
LoveLearn:
These comments may be totally out dated because I've been away from this community since the end of 2003. But a feature I wanted much more than lossless recording was changing playback speed while maintaining constant pitch. This time slicing and reintegration technique has been available in some devices for at least 20 years. I know that because I owned one that long ago. For lectures and spoken language listening it was great. University use studies indicated that listener content retention significantly increased with faster playback on many recordings. They speculated that listeners become bored by slow-speakers so by speeding up their playback, listener interest became more sustainable. Plus the fact that listening time per recording is reduced so you can learn more per unit time.
As I recall, this capability was supposed to be available in Archos board chips but lack of access to information about how to use that capability had prevented RockBox developers from enabling it for Archos owners. Does release of this long-sought information change that situation so we may have constant frequency variable rate playback added?
Funny that this forum management software shows me to be a "newbie" yet it recognized my user name and password which have been in my browser memory files since my previous posts years ago. Like Archos, it may be showing symptoms of insufficient buffer space. Even if limiting the search space to prevent excessive search times, this still seems strange.

BTW: I think "lossless recording and playback on the AJR !" should not be forgotten in the news of the start page and in the feature comparison list Archos OS vs Rockbox. ;)

Well, the feature comparison is a wiki. Feel free to edit it.

I'd like to add my vote for JBR lossless recording - I currently convert JBR mp3 files to WAV for editing - then back to mp3 for daily use. Having lossless would improve the quality of my source files - and hopefully be audible on the finished mp3 result.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to Rockbox development - I look forward to the next full 'official' release.

I'm talking about the official feature list which exists somewhere on rockbox.org. The one with the red and green coloured comparison tab. ;)
