Hi All.
OK, I've successfully reinstalled the original voice I had and it works
fine on my ipod.

Now, I want to get my directories spoken rather than spelt.
Please would someone be kind enough to give me step by step instructions as
to how to do this. I have the voicebox files here but there doesn't seem
to be a VBS one. I also have the lame.mp3 file.

Thanks.

Hey James, or someone, is there any way you could get a French voice file up

there with Reed or some other character?

Hi Maurice,

You can get instructions for creating voice clips at
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceHowto
or if you want directions from the perspective of a blind user, go to
http://www.hartgen.org/filenames.html

Cheers,
Anna

Hi,

Nice explanation, but I can't totally agree with your last statement. The
spinup speed is very important I think; it is fully responsible for bootup
times (5400 vs. 4200 rpm has no meaningful effect on that). Also, if the
drive spins up faster it can spin shorter which could save some battery. The

most important specification is however the power usage of the disk.

That reminds me, I could boot up with GRML on a CD and format it as well.

Swissknife failed a few times now, and I don't know why.
This week, a new version of the Gparted-Live-CD was released. That
means that you can download this 30MB image, burn it to a cd, boot
from that CD and format the archos with that.

Sometimes, the radio can do better with different headphones, as far as FM 
reception anyway, as the headphone cord is the antenna.

Hi, Brandon,
I would take look at the Archos Ondio FM
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DeviceChart
but only mp3 is possible. The radio is poor, but line in & mic works fine. 
3AAA-batts required. internal memory 128MB, external MMC card up to 4GB. I 
have an 4GB Ondio FM and I'm very pleased with that.

guess you have not looked closely to the Rockbox Wiki.
I have made not less than three french voice files available for Rockbox
3.0, well actually post 2.5 as we know it now (LOL)

Hi All,
Firstly Thanks Rob and Jamie.  Yes as soon as I downloaded the CVS voices
they worked perfectly.
Now I'm looking to use MP3 clip.  At present my directories are spelt and I
would like them spoken.
Please would someone be kind enough to:
*	let me know exactly what I need to have; and
*	What I need to do with each file.
I have looked in the Voicebox but do not have anything with a VBS extention.
Thanks list,  its really supportive.
