rockbox has improved considerably since i last took a look at it. thanks guys, for the heads-up. if and when they work with the new ipods, i might consider getting one for myself. incidentally, rockbox hits the core issue: the superior quality of its mp3 decoder. when i moved my first production computer, onsite, to gnulinux, i think it was redhat 6.x, the first thing i noticed was the way superior quality of the cdplayer for playback of music, in comparison to the windows counterpart. that was quite a high for me: same hardware, with the same soundcard, speakers, audio cd, cdrom drive, and the difference was noticeable. since then have been very choosy of any decoder whether in hardware or software. testing the quality of decoders is a complete discipline in itself. :-) niyam -- niyam bhushan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
