This may have been answered already but, the rockbox site is
http://www.rockbox.org. the Muvo is not supported. They support high end
players from Iriver Archos and others. Loading the software is done by a
flash firmware upgrade to the player and is not to be attempted by the faint
of heart. The installation documents run to 20 pages and require much
copying of files, command line arguments, changing file names, extraction,
like pulling teeth, and so on.
