Yeah I had the specific version before but upgraded so I sould use OTF playlists. It was very laggy though so I'll probably just wait for the refined version.

This should already work. Did you try?

But just say you are creating a playlist, you know you like a certain song from a certain album but your not too sure what it is. You should be able to listen to the song without messing up your playlist, have a preview option or something. You could do this with earphones in earphone jack and the music you aren't disturbing playing out the optical as Linus said was possible for my crossfader DJ mixer idea.

how about this Linus?

WMA is very uncertain. Don't hold your breath...

Ah well.

Rockbox sans wma is fine by me and I suspect many here would agree. As long as mp3LAME and ogg are supported I will be a happy camper. AFAI am concerned wma is more trouble than its worth and is no near as user configurable as mp3LAME or sounds as good as ogg.

Keep up the good work guys.

I'm with Seadzz on this one. The fact that there's no wma support may affect some people but there's no way it'll nullify the project for more than a handful of people. Anyway, I'd take an alt-preset-standard mp3 over any wma any day!

Keep up the awesome work Linus and the rbx crew!

ive been thinking about this,
does rockbox allow you to simply plug in the features and accomodate them dynamically, or does it needed to be coded to accept the plugins?

because i was thinking, what if someone was to make a less-than-legal WMA plug in? (not sure if this is an ok topic to discuss so feel free to delete it, mods). what you think?

The idea is to be able to add 3rd party codecs just by copying the codec plugin file to the rockbox directory.

Also, even if nobody else would use Rockbox on the iRiver because of the lack of WMA support, I would still use it myself. That's one of the main reasons for me to work on it.

I'm another one (of many i suspect) that would rather use the Rockbox port whether WMA is onboard or not - in fact it would be a good excuse to re-rip most of my tunes that frankly sound crap in WMA format...

Will Rockbox allow playback as normal whilst USB cable is connected?

Um... don't assume everyone is like you. I don't have a single wma and I have no desire to get one, make one, use one.

Most of my collections are in mp3's and in flacs. Don't ruin it for the rest of us.

I agree with sirVicious. I am another who won't be affected by any lack of WMA support by Rockbox. thenobody, I know you don't mean harm, but do consider carefully before making a general statement for your fellow iRiver users in the future.

The firmware can't access the hard drive while in USB mode, so it won't be able to load the music.

I like the sound of this linus

The only problem i can see is that when rockbox is upgraded, the custom plugins will have to be copied over to the new version, a bit like with gameboy saves at the mo, i keep forgeting this and have to open them manually from my .rockbox backups. - not really that much of a prob and i dont think there is much that can be done about it, i just find it anoying.

Anyways amazing work, bring on music playback!!

But if when you download the daily build and add the .rockbox folder to your player, wont it just replace the existing files with the same names?

Phew...*
