- Repeat can't be turned off (and no repeat single available)
- Can't edit/create playlists
- No auto turn off (after playlist has finished)
- The menu, id3 screen, and browser do not time out (to the wps or browser)
- No monitoring while fast forwarding (and rewinding), but this is no big loss

But other than that, I see no advantages of the Archos player firmware.
And yes, I completely switched to Rockbox, with the option to load the
Archos firmware with RoLo.

A big "thank you" to the Rockbox team for that great work.
