Title: technical question about the x5
Post by: nahkira on November 09, 2007, 02:06:18 PM

hi everyone

i was looking for a question about the recording on the Cowon x5, it might be a direct Mp3 recorder
and at this day i can't find if it could record an .wave format and/or an loosless one. i don't know
if there's a limitation and if its hardware or software, in the case of a sofware limitation maybe there is a
solution with the rockbox's firmware?
maybe some one know  ?

thank for all...    and sorry for my poor english ( its just because i'm french )

Salut,

Rockbox can record direct to wav and AIFF (uncompressed), mp3 (lossy) and wavpack (lossless), in addition to doing many other wonderful things.

Give it a go!

Have a look at the manual (linked on the left).  It is in English, but has lots of stuff to help you.
