Sansa Clip+ and Rockbox

<< < (12/12)

superboyac:
A word (actually quite a few) about the sound quality on the Clip+ that Superboy mentioned:

tl;dr -
Compared to the iPod feature-for-feature, the Sansa Clip+ loses (by a bare margin in most cases), but size-for-size it does VERY well.

I also didn't know the Sansa firmware has a pitch bug that Rockbox fixed.
Interesting.

Awesome article and blog by that guy.  It will make for a very handy reference site for me now.  It's interesting, he says that the headphone amp won't help with the Sansa much, which is good to know.  i was thinking that it may help because the output power is not as high as my Sony.  But I really don't know much about headphone amps.  So I plan to read his article about headphone amps:

Thanks Edvard.

Just wanted to make sure you guys are aware that if you hold down the center button (usually "enter") you get a kind of context menu.  I havent read all previous posts, but once I found out about the context menu (it took me a few days!), playlists (and much more) became easier.  For example adding one song to an existing (appending or inserting), an easy way to get to settings from the main menu, etc.

For starters go into the database and start seeing what the context menu gives on different levels.  Then go to the "now playing" screen and try it there.

EDIT: nevermind, I see Saratoga2 already pointed that out!!  

EDIT2: just for completeness (although I'm reasonably certain saratoga2 already is aware...   8) ), want to put links to rockbox discussion of Clip Zip another site I found to be excellent, anythingbutipod:

my main problem is... in order to transfer music to it, I have to start it with the original firmware, because the Rockbox USB isn't recognised. With a nearly-full 32Gb card (almost my entire collection!) when I boot it into Sansa-mode, it rebuilds the music library... and takes AGES.-oblivion (March 04, 2012, 05:27 PM)

Rockbox 3.11 has USB support, so this won't be an issue anymore.

I thought I'd been running 3.11 from the first, so I upgraded it to the latest beta build this morning. (Then I let it rebuild the library. Again. It takes about 30 minutes, I think.

And I don't get "unrecognised device" when I plug it in in Rockbox mode anymore. (There's a lovely picture of a USB plug that I was strangely impressed by too.)

Not only that, but it actually works! Whoopee!  :Thmbsup:
