Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
The point I was getting at still remains; a poor interface that comes with a manual documenting said poor interface does not make it a good interface or an easy one.
Quote from: Llorean on September 23, 2006, 08:45:18 AMI thought there was a working play-button-to-wps-from-menu patch already? Like, on the tracker. That someone just needs to be browbeaten into committing..I just tested that patch against current CVS on my iPod 5G. It applies cleanly. The "quick exit" part works, but the "Play to WPS from within menus" does not.I'm compiling a build for my H100 right now and will test it there.

This "users are idiots, and are confused by functionality" mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do.
And the devs have in fact played with the idea of being able to select if you end up in the filebrowser, or a top-level menu when you boot rockbox. So that idea looks like it could be made possible.
We are all noobs sometime, and i wouldn´t want to not have them rockbox for whatever reason.
Rockbox should be made simpler. By that, I don´t mean changing the fundamental design, but reorganizing the menu, installing a prettier theme by default.
I would like all people (to some extent) to use rockbox instead of their original firmware.
I do however agree with you on the gnome issue. I would not want to remove the tweaking heaven rockbox is. I think of rockbox as all about settings, and doing what you like with it.
IMO Rockbox should be made more consistent, not simpler
This is something like a "holy war" like Linux vs. Windows. I'm a linux user and would like to see more people using it, but I have stopped trying to convince people. Why? Those people who are not willing to get themselves used to it only create hassle. So while I'm sure to use the OS that's better for my needs I don't want others to use it just for the sake of doing so.
Really? AFAIK this is "only" a patch in the tracker. Might be possible, though.

2) Out of curiosity how is 400 *not* a sane setting for "Max files in Dir Browser." The larger you make the setting, the worse battery life gets, and the vast majority of decently organized music collections should only have about 30 or less songs in a folder (the size of a moderately large single album).
Also, there is a main menu. What's wrong with it? You won't get the devs convinced to start in any other view than the browser. It's simple: what do you want after turning on your dap? Listening to music. To do so, you either resume the last played playlist (which then automatically switches to wps) or you need to pick some files. Thus, the only logical starting point is the browser. Starting in any menu would require another keypress to switch to the browser, and this keypress is the reason why you won't get devs convinced to start in anything else than the browser.
I have 491 Artists in my "Music" directory. I don't order them by genre.
What do you want after turning on your dap? Maybe listening to music, maybe recording music, maybe listen to the radio or even play a game?
OK, we have a main menu. But I think it should have entries for WPS and Browse Files and I think it should show up at startup optionally, but by default.
