1Rockbox FAQ
2
3
4Q. What is Rockbox, what is it's purpose?
5A. The purpose of this project is to write an Open Source replacement
6 firmware for the Archos Jukebox 6000, Studio 20 and Recorder MP3 players.
7
8Q. Can the changes or the software that Rockbox suggests or offers
9 possibly damage my Archos Player?
10A. All firmware mods that are presented still highly experimental.
11 Try them on your own risk. We offer no garuntee that this software/hardware
12 changes won't damage your player or void your warentee.
13
14Q. Do you have a mailing list?
15A. Sure do! The list is rockbox@cool.haxx.se. To subscribe, send you need to
16 send a message to majordomo@cool.haxx.se with the words "subscribe rockbox"
17 in the body.
18
19Q. Great you have a mailing list! Is there anyway for me to catch up on
20 past posts?
21A. Check out the archives at: http://bjorn.haxx.se/rockbox/mail.cgi
22
23Q. I want to see what the inside of my player looks like, but I would really
24 like to avoid voiding my warentee. Is there anything you can suggest?
25A. Well Björn Stenberg was kind enough to void his warentee so you don't have
26 to. Take a look at his dissection of the player at:
27 http://bjorn.haxx.se/isd200/archos.html
28
29Q. What exactly are you trying to achieve with this line of development?
30 (A.K.A. whats your purpose for being here?)
31A. Well, some of the ideas that have been presented/discussed for the future
32 that we would like to see would include (in no particular order):
33 - No pause between songs
34 - Mid-song resume
35 - Mid-playlist resume
36 - No-scan playlists
37 - Unlimited playlist size
38 - Autobuild playlists (ie: "all songs in this directory tree")
39 - Auto-continue play in the next directory
40 - Current folder and all sub-folder random play
41 - Full disk random play
42 - REAL random
43 - Multi song queue
44 - Faster scroll speed
45 - Archos Recorder support. Most of the hardware is the same,
46 but the display and some other things differ.
47 - More cool features with the wire remote control (including
48 controlling your Archos from your car radio (req hw mod))
49 - Support playing of other files types (ie: Ogg Vorbis support)
50 - Support for megabass switch (req hw mod)
51 - Player control via USB
52 - Memory expansion?
53 Note: Just because something is on this list, does not mean that it is
54 technically feasible. (But hey we can dream) And something not
55 being on the list does not mean it isn't a neat idea. Bring it to
56 the list.
