Title: voice - announce every track?
Post by: InGearX on May 06, 2013, 04:50:41 PM

Hi I love RockBox!

when listening to many new artists/albums - for hours ... I would love to get informed and learn on who playing...

is there anyway to have rockbox announce the name of each artist/track?

please advise...

thank you... (I have Sandisk - Sansa Clip Zip)

PS Perhaps as a workaround there is some software that would generate an announcement file that would play right before the track?

PSS And because I can not try it yet - perhaps it's a bad idea in general? would get annoying really fast?

No. You can make it voice filenames in the file browser, but that's kinda different.

Yes. There are a few corner cases where this might be useful, but at least I think such a feature would be annoying pretty fast. There has been some discussion about something like that in the past, search the forums.
