From: Glenn at home <GlennErvin_at_cableone.net>
Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 17:09:05 -0600 If the iRivers don't have time & Date, how do they name recordings? I haven't messed with that yet, but the units must then just use a progressive numbering system.

My thinking was that maybe Rockbox would be 'smart' enough to detect a USB connection to the PC and get the current system time from the PC and set the clock on the Rockbox ... and since a lot of us are savvy enough users to use NTP anyhow, then the clock on our units could get sync'd every time we plugged it in - *if* the Rockbox firmware had a means to get the current system time from the OS. > I must say, that I think this is not an important feature.
