Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 14:15:00 -0400 Do you know if there are sites selling them in the mp3 format? Is Gold Wave expensive? -----Original Message----- From: rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se [mailto:rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se] On Behalf Of Sarai D. Bucciarelli Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 12:50 PM To: Rockbox development Subject: Re: Rock Box and Blind Users If I had known that most web sites sold music in WMA format then I'd make sure my player played all formats. How can MP3's be so popular if the web sites aren't selling them? You can convert using Gold Wave. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Smith.Ryan" <Ryan.Smith_at_SunTrust.com> To: "Rockbox development" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 12:32 PM Subject: RE: Rock Box and Blind Users Then with that in mind, where do I go on the net to download actual mp3 files? Most legal sites now only have downloads in the wma format. Or is there a way to convert between the formats?

No, flash chips on =SOME= archos units mean that you can have 4 second boot time, not 15 seconds. >What do you mean the battery connecters are getting looser by default? The battery contacts are the dodgy thing with these units - its not frequent, but it is common - it is also such a trivial job that any (in fairness, sighted) person could do with very very limited knowledge of a soldering iron. >Also, Do the Archos players play formats other than mp3? No. It is theoretically possile - but was never, and is now (given relative obseletion) unlikely ever to be done.
