Hi! Sorry if I return after all this time!
Do you want to say that there is some possibility to do what I'd like to do? (have a modified or new firmware for this player)
Thank you!
Mad Cow:
It's very possible, I'm not a developer, but I imagine that you would probably need to modify some H10 code and write a button driver.

It means that the firmware file format is already "cracked" for you, so you can (probably) disassemble the existing firmware easily generate your own version. Important knowledge.
But apart from that I don't think anyone has worked on or taken a deeper look on this unit so there's a lot of work ahead. See the NewPorts wiki document for a step-by-step guide.

I've tried to add this info to the Wiki but have been waiting for an activation email three times. This problem is is most likely my own doing.
I've been using a 1620 for about a year and a half with Rockbox running. I'm having no problems listening to mp3, ogg and wma files, the buttons do what they're supposed to do except that the left and right buttons need an extra press now and again.
The issues I have is a poor battery life, if I shutdown with the phones plugged in the 1620 restarts itself. The player can sometimes start playing if it's left on pause but will stay paused if I unplug the phones. I cant say what the plugins are like as I don't use them on this player. The player can sometimes start up with the volume turned right down but this is very rarely.
To install and to put anything onto the player it has to be connected to the PC using "service mode" http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/GoGearHDD6330
Compile Rockbox for 1620/30/35
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SimpleGuideToCompiling
Once you get the .rockbox file compiled open it and take the FWImage.ebn file and place it in the System folder (not the "_System" folder) of your player. ** The System folder is a hidden file so make sure your operating system is set to show it **.

BTW Considering the age of the player the battery would'nt be as fresh as it used to be, I'm getting about 2 hours 30 mins to 3 hours out of a charge
