I think it's useful to remember that Rockbox supports so many different targets both stable and unstable. Also, there are the different versions of those targets. It's bound to occur that not everything is spotted and some bugs remain despite the best will in the world. Also, we're getting this free as a result of people's genuine love for creativity and technical challenge, and others who just want to help other people enjoy life through developing something of benefit. Having said that, we've clearly learnt a lesson about a potential bug here. Maybe it's an idea to put a cautionary note in the relevant place on the site advising that this problem of oversized voice files may occur, and perhaps a link to a page with a fix? Also, just a thought but novice users may be unfamiliar with the command line and the switches for lame. It may be an idea to link to a tutorial on that - one will exist already for lame, so it's just a case of finding it. An offer if you like: I've been told I'm a good writer so would be willing to write up such a page if people feel it beneficial. Note this would be my first contribution to Rockbox so I'm unsure of the procedures, so bear with me if I trip up along the way.
