Thanks, Charles, for your answer.

Yes this might be. Do you think there is a chance to get rid of this noise?

What a stupid behaviour. (I guess they want to force normal users to use
there proprietary software to put music on the sansa?)

Can't this be done by Rockbox, everytime it is started up?

Really not? I can't believe.

I cannot download the files: When clicking on a download link I get a

Is 1.1 an older or a newer hardware?

As I understand it is fixed in the bootloader, not in rockbox itself? Do
I have to execute sansapatcher again after unpacking your rockbox version?

Ok. Is it better to patch the sansa when mounted or unmounted? Or does
it not make a difference?
