Just to let folks know, Rockbox's own USB mode is now expected to be working reliably on the above listed players (unless I've gotten the list wrong). Any build newer than this post should have it enabled by default (so "current build" rather than the release build in RBUtil) and there should be no more need for reboots into the original firmware to transfer files. Be aware that things such as having USB connected during bootup (depending on your player) may still trigger a load of the original firmware. New bootloaders are to be expected along with the release, hopefully, that should change USB-related behaviour in the bootloader to make more sense with the removal of the need to reboot.

This feature, assuming no unexpected problems crop up, will of course be in Rockbox 3.2 as well, coming next month.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and not to mention: thank you!

Excellent work!
No more hourlong "database updates".

Thank you.  :-)
(I'm very happy about this, can anybody tell?)

What the gosh-darned heck?  Someone's added a bunch of stuff to my reply!  Can't a guy declare his love for goats without being made a fool of?

No.  It's MSC mode only so the player will behave just like a USB drive while mounted.

It's really not possible with standard UMS. Two devices can't access the disk at the same time. Rockbox would need to have access to it for playback to work, and your computer would need to have access to it for file transfer to work.

My Sansa c240 with r20122 build: USB works once...but never again.
« Reply #12 on: February 26, 2009, 06:41:36 PM »
****  UPDATE  ****
Upon some further testing, I figured out that Rockbox must already be running when I plug in the USB.  Also, the microSDHC is no longer an issue.  I've got full USB functionality now! YIPPEE!

****************

So, I loaded up SanDisk Sansa c200 r20122 today, in hopes that USB would be supported.  My first attempt at establishing a connection...worked!  HOWEVER, subsequent tries fail.  Each and every time now, the SANSA connection takes over after a brief display of the Rockbox splash screen.  I have not tried a total uninstall/reinstall yet.

Additionally, from the first start-up and every attempt following, Rockbox does not complete a boot-up until I remove the microSDHC.

Ideas?

Try inserting the cable while Rockbox is running.  The bootloader that's on your machine presently is coded to boot into the SanDisk firmware if it detects a USB insertion.

Thanks!  I guess I got a notion that was the problem at the same time you were posting the reply.  All is good!  Cheers.
