Player recommendations? How's the X5 port?

<< < (3/3)

Ok I finally got the dual boot to work - thanks for the tip and thanks RaeNye. With that fixed I have to say that the x5 port is absolutely awesome and vastly extends the functionality of the player.
Oh btw if you have the first keypress enables backlight option to Yes then you might have similar ff/rw problems to mine. I could have sworn I never touched that setting but there you go...

Sorry xlarge I don't have anything fancy to sync - just a perl script to recursively check the x5 music dir and copies songs not present but present in my music dir to the x5. I'm working on an excludes file but I'm probably not going to do anything fancier. I want most of my music on the x5 anyway and I have only around 20gigs. If anyone knows some good sync software let me know.

Ok back to work on my fancy new WPS :D

Nopes sir... I have first keypress enables backlight... But then again we all have different ways of pressing keys... =) (that said, i experienced fastforward-instead-of-changing-tune once now yesterday... )

I agree with you, i really liked my x5 but now that i've got rockbox i love it. I'm eternally grateful to the devs.

gimme your wps when you are done... :D

I love Unison to sync my MP3's

It doesn't look pretty but it works great

There is a nice GUI
For that you need to install the GTK binaries
It's all in the manual

Use "-fastcheck true" to speed things up

Does this firmware overcome the 9999 file limitation?

RaeNye:
Obviously RB has no such silly limit (neither the other OF limits - DPL length, number of FM presets, number of directories, number of bookmarks, ...).
