Hey Scott - Yep, that's the same way rockbox works with clips generated for menu items. There's less that doesn't read currently in rockbox I think, but I'm really not trying to compare the two options as much as it might seem like it. ipod-wise rockbox is way behind the current hardware, 2 generations of nano behind and none of the classic series will run it, so I'm literally still using it because a 1st gen nano is what I happen to have and it's my only option. I don't doubt at all that the Apple take on this voice clip style stuff works smoother, interfaces and usability are the two main things that make me such a fan boy. Chop chop Mr Jobs, offer me a talking classic and I'll be queueing with a fist full of fivers to buy mine.
