Hi there, I am a blinduser who is completey confused about the software on
the ipod video I would like to know what is going on and how well the
software works with the atual menus on the ipod video, and how they interact

money on a 60g ipod until I know it all works if anyone on the message bord

I think my rockbox is having problems with 320kbps MP3. -I have some
which cause a very odd noise on one channel, like pre-read of some data
or something (very like burn-through on a cassette left in the sun!)

in the same runstate, 128/192 play fine.

OK, so it could be encoding artifacts. Is that more plausible or is it
likely that an old v1 recorder 2m cannot keep up with high bitrate MP3?

I'm on a recent battery-fix binary btw.

It makes sense to do a quick and easy test to see if it's encoding artifacts

first: do these same MP3s play fine on your PC? The exact same files,
that is (i.e. plug your archos into your PC, copy the files across, and
play them on your PC using Winamp, Windows Media Player, etc).

I'll do that. good suggestion. If they do play clean, then logically
I'd also try a re-encode at a lower bitrate.

Hi guys,
I have the following problem with my iRiver H340.
When I start the player it always go to the record-mode. But I don't want to

start the player all time with record-mode. What mI must do for starting the

plyer in the normal ply-mode?
Thanks for Your help
Rainer

Sounds like you accidentally enabled this. You can find it under
Menu->Recording->Recording settings->Show recording screen on startup.
Set it to no (or is that off? Can't remember).

My wife was helping me try to play a song using Rockbox.  When she
selected the song and hit play, we got the error message "prefetch abort
at deadbeee"
Can anyone kindly advise.  This is on an Ipod video30.

Hey folks
I just wanted to mention that you guys that didn't manage to come to the 
devcon really missed a great event!
Not only did we have a great time socializing and actually meating the
persons 
behind the nicks and names we've been seeing online for years, we also
managed 
to discuss and deal with _all_ items on the agenda, and most of them with a 
great and at least in my view satisfactory outcome.
I'm absolutely certain that users and other devs will see and appreciate the
outcome from this, not the least in things like the already in-progress work
on a 3.0 release. (Yes, we should do some kind of "summary" of all the talks
of the agenda items and publish.)
Random Memorable Happenings:
- Christi and Brandon arriving several hours late after a having got off at
   the wrong bus stop, taken the subway and gotten off at the wrong station
   etc etc...
- The "What are you sinking about" commercial
- The massive interest for our webcam on IRC and elsewhere. It help us feel
   almost like #rockbox were with us there.
Thanks and credits go to:
- everyone who has donated money to the project, as we used some of
   these funds for drinks, snacks and food during the devcon. Please
continue
   donating for the benefit of the project so that we can continue to
support
   and sponsor development-related activities.
- Jens, J?rg, Christi and Brandon for being devoted enough to cross country
   borders to come here.
- Contactor for letting us use the offices that served as a pretty neat
   surrounding, with a fine network, webcam, printer, conference room,
coffee
   machine and even space and sofas for sleeping.
- Haxx donated the shirts. And before asking, we still have not quite
decided
   on how to proceed with the remainders of the shirts we have. I'm open for
   interesting suggestions.
Some thoughts for Devcon 2007:
- We should probably set a date even earlier than this year to allow people
to
   plan for devcon even longer in advance.
- We should prepare for the food situation slightly better, at least if
we'll
   be situated at the same place or in a similar surrounding. We did have
   to resort to backup plans several times...
