|
|
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
Q. What is Rockbox, what is it's purpose?
|
|||
|
|
A. The purpose of this project is to write an Open Source replacement
|
|||
|
|
firmware for the Archos Jukebox 6000, Studio 20 and Recorder MP3 players.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Q. Can the changes or the software that Rockbox suggests or offers
|
|||
|
|
possibly damage my Archos Player?
|
|||
|
|
A. All firmware mods that are presented still highly experimental.
|
|||
|
|
Try them on your own risk. We offer no garuntee that this software/hardware
|
|||
|
|
changes won't damage your player or void your warentee.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Q. Do you have a mailing list?
|
|||
|
|
A. Sure do! The list is rockbox@cool.haxx.se. To subscribe, send you need to
|
|||
|
|
send a message to majordomo@cool.haxx.se with the words "subscribe rockbox"
|
|||
|
|
in the body.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Q. Great you have a mailing list! Is there anyway for me to catch up on
|
|||
|
|
past posts?
|
|||
|
|
A. Check out the archives at: http://bjorn.haxx.se/rockbox/mail.cgi
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
Q. I want to see what the inside of my player looks like, but I would really
|
|||
|
|
like to avoid voiding my warentee. Is there anything you can suggest?
|
|||
|
|
A. Well Bj<42>rn Stenberg was kind enough to void his warentee so you don't have
|
|||
|
|
to. Take a look at his dissection of the player at:

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Q. What exactly are you trying to achieve with this line of development?
|
|||
|
|
(A.K.A. whats your purpose for being here?)
|
|||
|
|
A. Well, some of the ideas that have been presented/discussed for the future
|
|||
|
|
that we would like to see would include (in no particular order):
|
|||
|
|
- No pause between songs
|
|||
|
|
- Mid-song resume
|
|||
|
|
- Mid-playlist resume
|
|||
|
|
- No-scan playlists
|
|||
|
|
- Unlimited playlist size
|
|||
|
|
- Autobuild playlists (ie: "all songs in this directory tree")
|
|||
|
|
- Auto-continue play in the next directory
|
|||
|
|
- Current folder and all sub-folder random play
|
|||
|
|
- Full disk random play
|
|||
|
|
- REAL random
|
|||
|
|
- Multi song queue
|
|||
|
|
- Faster scroll speed
|
|||
|
|
- Archos Recorder support. Most of the hardware is the same,
|
|||
|
|
but the display and some other things differ.
|
|||
|
|
- More cool features with the wire remote control (including
|
|||
|
|
controlling your Archos from your car radio (req hw mod))
|
|||
|
|
- Support playing of other files types (ie: Ogg Vorbis support)
|
|||
|
|
- Support for megabass switch (req hw mod)
|
|||
|
|
- Player control via USB
|
|||
|
|
- Memory expansion?
|
|||
|
|
Note: Just because something is on this list, does not mean that it is
|
|||
|
|
technically feasible. (But hey we can dream) And something not
|
|||
|
|
being on the list does not mean it isn't a neat idea. Bring it to
|
|||
|
|
the list.
