I just noted that the Rhythmbox issue may be related to files that were
burned to a DVD then reloaded to the computer. I have about ten
folders, each with about 300 ogg files. The folders correspond to the
DVD they were burned to. When I start importing files from the top of
list down (these have been archived to a DVD, then reloaded to the
computer) I get to the files that were not burned to DVD and it hangs.
When I import from the bottom of the list (files that have not been
burned to DVD) Rhythmbox hangs immediately. I need to save those files
any ways.
CBR-MP3 seems to relate to iRiver, is that what you have? I read some
mixed reviews on that flash memory player, but they all have some
drawbacks. I guess I am just inquiring about other's experience. I
just want an inexpensive, flash player, that's easy to work with Linux:
FC4, FC5, or Ubuntu and runs on rechargeable batteries.
About file size...when I was playing songs on the computer 128 kbps was
fine for me and the Jornada (Windows Media Player) I used, shrunk them
even smaller. I play them through $10 ear buds so I imagine 96 kbps
would be fine. The software for this Jornada 540 series looks like it
was a garage job, 128 MB gets about 2 CDs, and it takes forever to load
(1.5 hrs.)
Let me know what you like, I need a solution, I'm tired of listening to
the radio!
