I fucking heart !rockbox. I would never consider buying an audio player that it's not compatible with. !listening

@pete +1!!!!
-
@johnnynull Really? I think you're an alien replicant ;) Srsly, what do you dislike about it? & what kind of mp3 player do you have?
-
@johnnynull Huh, never thought about auto-deleting like that, that's a neat idea. I'm gonna file me a feature request.
-
@pete: Which player do you have? I'll need to by a new one soon-ish.
-
@hook I have a Cowon X5 and I absolutely adore it, but they don't make them anymore. Which sucks; mine needs a new headphone jack.
-
@hook Here it is: http://ur1.ca/481rp and the new model: http://ur1.ca/481s2 Drool. But the new model's not !rockbox compatible :(
-
-
@hook Yeah, I'm the same way. I'm looking hard for a used X5, just so I can cannibalize it. Other than the headphone jack, mine's fine.
-
@hook Never actually seen one IRL. They look nice. Pricey though.
-
@hook But Archos is one of very few manufacturers that are still making hard drive mp3 players. Which is a big plus for me.
-
@hook Yes, through a plugin. Burns through battery life though. I only did it once just to see if it worked.
-
@pete: Any good or not worth the hassle?
-
@hook works just fine, but you'll want your cable handy in about an hour.
-
@pete: Meh, I'm not much of a sucker for video anyway. I guess Clip+ it will be ;)
-
@hook Yeah, me either. The screen on the fuze is pretty small anyway (but crisp looking, I gotta say)
-
@pete: How's the quality on the Sansa Clip+? I've heard some unhappiness in online user reviews.
-
@gamerchick02 The one I bought as a gift last xmas seems like it's pretty good. But it's only been 5 months, and I'm not the one using it.
-
@pete: Ah. Most of the reviews are good, but some are not. Most of the bad ones are from older people (BB has an age ca…
-
@gamerchick02 Yeah, I wouldn't buy one for myself (the lcd screen is kind of a turnoff, a little weird to control). She likes it though.
-
@gamerchick02 The screen on my X5 and Fuze are really nice though, they spoil me. And I'm addicted to !rockbox !chess :)
-
@pete: I'd like to take a look at one in the store. Maybe later today or tomorrow. I dunno. I'm getting quite pissed at…
-
@gamerchick02 I hate that shit. That's why I'm so meticulous with my filenames, so I just use the !rockbox file browser and be done with it.
-
@gamerchick02 mp3s players that don't give you a file browser are #crap.
-
@pete: Agree. This one did work for awhile just fine, but now it seems to not want to pay attention to my tagged music. It's infuriating.
-
@pete: I know, I looked. I was thinking of giving it a try, but if it won't work, it won't work. I might boot over to W…
-
@gamerchick02 Even a Windows-only firmware update? God have mercy!
-
@pete I lucked out with my X5, actually. I think the later models from Cowon are Windows-only updates.
-
@pete Don't quote me on that though.
-
@pete: The Walkman is at firmware 1.02, and that seems to be the most recent firmware. I guess it's time to try to load…
