Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2009 10:32:10 -0400 Those are certainly 'go to' programs for a lot of this stuff, but I haven't been able to determine much with them--my own shortlist of hopefuls would be: Winamp Foobar MediaMonkey WMP iTunes (if support for FLAC/ogg/wm/ape could somehow be achieved with plugins) Jriver Media Center Helium Music Manager Songbird Amarok The barrier seems to be that rockbox will not write tags from the db to the files (because it would be hard on the flash, I think I was told--although as an owner of a hard drive player (ipod 5.5G) I can almost wish this were possibe), so no simple file sync operation will suffice--the program would have to read the rockboxdb and apply information to the appropriate files on the desktop--I haven't located this functionality anywhere.. :-( 2009/4/12 Christopher Chaltain <cchaltain_at_austin.rr.com> > Adam Golding wrote: > >> I am switching back to rockbox, but am having trouble finding a suitable >> desktop program to use in conjunction with it.
