It is mentioned in the Q54: Okay, I understand your 400 file limit. But why hardcode? Why not have this be dynamically allocated? -A54: Because it's useless. Dynamic memory is only ever useful if you have - memory consumers (tasks) that run at different points in time, and thus - can reuse the same memory for different purposes. - - We don't have that. We must be able to show a big dir, index a big - playlist and play a big mp3 file, all at the same time. They cannot use - the same memory, and thus dynamic memory buys us nothing but extra - complexity. If we used dynamic memory for this, we would get all kinds - of odd bugs. Playlists that only got half-loaded if placed in certain - directories. Parts of the disk you couldn't go to if playing a certain - playlist etc. - - We have a number of tasks that consume memory. They can all run at the - same time, using all of their allotted memory. Therefore it is much better - to allocate that memory to them beforehand and not pretend that anyone - else is able to use it. This is standard practice in memory-limited - systems. - - Newsflash! This limit is now configurable in the daily (post-2.0) builds. +A54: Newsflash! This limit is now configurable in the daily (post-2.0) builds. Q55: Why is there a 10,000 song limit on playlists? -A55: This is another hardcoded limit. We feel that as bigger disks arrive - that this limit will increase. Because of the way that playlists are - stored, it tends to be a bit more malleable than the directory file limit. - For further detail, look at questions 53 and 54 and replace any instances - of '400' with '10,000'. - - Newsflash! This limit is now configurable in the daily (post-2.0) builds. +A55: Newsflash! This limit is now configurable in the daily (post-2.0) builds. Q56: You don't understand! I _really_ need to have more then 400 files in a directory! -A56: The use of really big directories was a workaround for the poor playlist - capabilities of the original Archos firmware. With Rockbox, you no longer - need this workaround. Organize your files in directories, then build - playlists for all collections you want to shuffle-play. - - Newsflash!

WinAmp is one. @@ -739,7 +710,7 @@ A75: The same way you subscribed, but you send an 'unsubscribe' request to the mail unsubscribe requests to the mailing list itself.
