Thanks for the tip! I did some foobar2000 research yesterday and came across that component. It appears to work, next step is to convert remaining songs to mp3 so everything works as expected. I like foobar2000 lightweight 'feel', Musicbee feels like an explosion of panels everywhere by comparison. I'm using the original firmware with a while now, it's less error prone and the UI on rockbox isn't exatly polished. |

Rockbox is one of those things that is perfect once you live with it for a while. I've been using it since the iPod Video came out (and on a few devices.) The main thing with Rockbox and the modded iPods (iFlash etc) is limiting the EQ bands and other DSP settings. The Sandisk Clip+ is an unexpectedly killer device for Rockbox -- but like anything, the UI takes some getting used to.
Considering they're working around clickwheels with a center button, d-pads with menu button, some with power buttons, others without... its a bit of a marvel that everything is accessible on the devices that are able to be used -- but like I said, I've been using it for ages and can get around some of the odd navigational quirks.
One of the biggest benefits of Rockbox over the iPod firmware is 'timestretch' / playback speeds for files (podcasts, audiobooks.) Its still my favorite audiobook player.
