237 | A31: In simple terms, the first release was called 1.0 because it had a basic | ||
238 | working feature set that worked and had no known bugs. That is what 1.0 | ||
239 | meant. It is true that Rockbox 1.0 lacked most of the feature set that | ||
240 | every sane user wanted. However, we never said it was more | ||
241 | feature-complete or better in any way then the original firmware that | ||

243 | that our ideas are moving in the right direction. We also hoped that it | ||

355 | - Rockbox supports both id3v1 and id3v2 | ||
356 | |||
357 | - The id3v2 support is limited to the first 300 bytes of the file. Some | ||

385 | (If you are reading this, feel proud, for you are the exception). | ||
386 | |||
387 | We settled on 400 files in a directory because file listings take up | ||
388 | memory on the unit, and we felt that 400 is significantly large enough | ||
389 | for a majority of the populace. We prefer the option of limiting | ||
