But if it is a joke, it sounds like they went to a lot of trouble to set it up, posting news announcements and revoking peoples svn access. I hope it is a joke, as I think any deal with apple is basically doing a deal with the devil and is almost certainly very bad for rockbox, at the

I guess one of these is always useful, does anybody know roughly much they'll cost? I don't have an immediate use for one, but it's something useful to add to the toolkit.

Should Rockbox come with a PDF of a measuring tape we can use to calculate the circumference of our heads? Because as far as I know, every person hears sound slightly differently from the next person... Resonant frequencies dictated by head density, width between ears and overall shape, low-end

Ok, so the unit of one 'bel' is nothing more than the representation of an abstract value. WhatIs defines the Bel as 'the logarithmic ratio between two levels of signal, power, voltage or current.' dB (Decibel) is commonly used though, as a unit of 1 Bel is a rather large amount. Due to its

I might be wrong (please correct me if I am!) but from what I've seen of the circuit board and the reset switch, with the device's casing off, I believe the reset button is nothing more than a software button, insofar that it doesn't actually break any circuit. To me, it looks like pressing it

Funny you should mention it, it was (probably) fixed today. Certainly I got my first ever realtime AAC playback on an H340. Thanks for the tip :D Now I can listen to all my mate's albums I pinched off him which he'd encoded with iTunes (grumble). Did the reset button work again after that?

But yes, I do believe that the reset button isn't a hardware switch at all, to me it looked just like a software switch just like the other buttons on the device. If it was, how would you explain that the reset button works at all when running Rockbox? There is no code in Rockbox that

I'm pretty sure that the RB team could prove precedence through first usage (all it'd take is a quick few Internet Archive searches and a choice few Google searches to cull relevant statistical information as to when the name 'Rockbox' was first used)... ... I like Rockblox better than

Imho, a modification of the images at this point _may_ (and could) be interpreted as a tacit acknowledgement of plagiarism or infringement of copyright by PopCap - of which we all know there is none! - but the problem is that this then might be used as possible ammunition that there has indeed
