I have no way of getting that old of a winamp and if I install it it
will overwrite my current one. But in general, what is the solution
to this problem -- I recorded a file this morning of about 11 minutes
and I was able to play it, but only after using vbrfix on the thing.
Is this true with their firmware or just rockbox? Can we make the
chip use cbr?
