Rockbox Player - Project to design and build a Free/Open hardware audio player
lolsack:
I want one lol, dats a sexy player.
phr:
Looks very nice, though somewhat large and expensive (understandable given the low quantities it will be made in). I like the monochrome LCD since it identifies the player as an audio player, something few mainstream manufacturers dare to make (they all put useless video in players for marketing reasons). Main things I'd hope for are:
1) high quality audio codec
2) SD socket should electrically support SDXC cards (FAT32 or Linux file format is fine)
3) should use commodity AA or AAA battery (1.2V NiMH or 1.5v alkaline) instead of lithium, even if that makes the package bigger. Ideally a single AA cell with a dc-dc boost converter, but two or three cells (AA or AAA) is fine. If you have to use lithium, a commodity cell phone battery is probably the best choice.
4) Bluetooth audio would probably be useful (for wireless headsets)

friendlyzookeeper:
notlistening, I think it's confusing on the tools that is used on this platform. Java and Perl? Online C conversion or simulator?
What is the pci 32?
