Subject: Re: Iriver - Strange Behaviour

Re: Iriver - Strange Behaviour

Hi and thanks to everyone for some very helpful solutions to my Iriver
problem.

I'm happy to report that after a reset, the unit is functioning better than
ever!

My one remaining question relates to the recording options, which seem to be
far fewer than those found on say the Archos Jukebox.

So for example, I don't see any setting for quality in the recording
settings, or for different sampling rates, or for stereo and mono. All
these settings exist on my version of Rockbox on my Archos Recorder V1.

Any ideas?

Regards and thanks again,

Stuart.
