Rockbox Information

From iriver Wiki, your source for everything iriver - a part of MisticRiver.

Description

Rockbox is a community developed Open Source firmware replacement for several DAPs including the iRiver H100 Series, H300 Series and H10.

Features

Rockbox plans to retain as many stock firmware features as possible, while at the same time introducing new features and improving existing ones. These include:

• Custom WPS (While Playing Screen)
• True gapless playback
• Games, including Rockboy, a Gameboy emulator
• On the fly playlist creation
• Increased audio codec support including several lossless codecs
• Last.fm scrobbling to log, which then is uploaded to Last.fm by the user via a computer program or web based script Rockbox .scrobbler.log to Last.fm Upload. Logs of the H100 have no timestamp and are named .scrobbler-timeless.log - these files are handled by the web based script and the computer script by faking the play times of the referenced files

A full feature comparison can be seen on the Feature Comparision page of the Rockbox wiki.
