Excellent firmware, excellent project
by Nathan Myers
For those music player gadgets that can run Rockbox, it's the best way to run them. (For most of us, that is a Sandisk e2x0 or an iPod.) The feature set is too long to list; suffice to say that you will continue finding pleasant surprises as long as you continue exploring.
