Date: Mon, 19 May 2003 08:51:15 -0500 There is a patch that adds record timer functionality to rockbox. See the patch tracker at source forge to find information about the patch. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=697373&group_id=44306&atid=439120 However, note that this patch is based on CVS code from several months ago and I don't think it will apply cleanly to the current code. I can post a precompiled 2.0 firmware version that includes this functionality if there are a few requests for it. It will take a little work for me though. It would be easier to post a new patch that will apply cleanly to the current CVS code. How much interest is there out there for this?
