I wastalking about putting it on the comercial players. 2) However I was not thinking we maybe could get it added to the existing Rockbox players. However, that is a great thought. Even just Daisy would be nice. Plus if we could make use of TTS on players taht have that capability. 3) I was also thinking maybe there is a way to legally use the authorization obrtained for a commercial NLS player (Bookscence,Victor Stream). That is maybe we can replace the firmware with rockbox without destroying the NLS and RFB&D keys loaded into the players when authorized. The process is to send the device identification code to NLS they then send a mesaage to the manufacture who then sends a key to your. You do a one time load of that key and now you can read NOS and RFB&D. Note this is done for NLS and RFB&D seperately. My guess is Bookshare would not be a big issue. But that is a guess,. It simply uses a password. As for why I was asking for this. I bought a Bookscence about a year ago. Version 1.0 of there formware was all but unusable. Players constantly freezing on all differtnt file types. GUI was pretty good but had some flaws which they did eventually address. Many players freezing and needed to be sent back to be replayced or reburned. 1.1 was not much better. users are getting very fustrated with lack of information coming from GWMicro and HIMS (the actuall manufacture). Version 2.0 came out a few months ago and atleast now the device functions. It stll needs hard resets daily if you want to use Bluetooth. The audio quality is not very good for music and they do not seem to have any interest in working on this. Rockboxs audio control is excellant, with different modes and equalizers. Thanks for the interest Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2010-08-21 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
