Hi Jackie,
I must admit, I hate Rockbox. It is a kind of half-baked solution. OK, it
kind of works, but unless you go to trouble to create voice scripts, it can
only spell out file names. I wish someone would put a real TTS into an MP3
player, but I don't think it is going to happen soon. Long live Talks eh?
<Smile>.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve
I'd recommend an Iriver, if only you could get one. I use Rockbox on that,
and find it very accessible with that software, even if it is a bit fiddly
to initially get it going.
I can't comment on any of the Ipod range as I've never gone down that road.
My 8GB N91 does the job brilliantly for most purposes though.
I'm sure others will offer their thoughts.
Jackie

Hi All,
I haven't been round for a while so apologies if this has been discussed in
the past. I want to get a new mp3 player which has a fairly sizable hd.
Anyone got any suggestions? How do people find the ipods with rockbox?
Does the Ipod 80gb classic support rockbox? And does it read out the
filenames or just spell them? I believe the classic has support for ID3
tagging, does this work in the same way as say, the mp3 player on the N91
where it will automatically group tracks by album etc. Also, with the
Classic, can you just use it like another hard drive and copy your mp3's
across, or do you need to use the Itumes software?
Many thanks.
Steve
