Yes that's always an alternative but not always a good one either, I actually haven't used Rockbox now for 7 months because many of the existing features or newer features in the newer builds were becoming inaccessible, also I had trouble with my Iriver, it wasn't fitting my needs exactly, I wanted to be able to edit "on-the-fly" rahter than having to transfer data to a computer and in this respect, the Minidisc machines I have come into their absolute own, whether the new flash recorders that the subject line relates to will be able to handle this I don't know, I hope they do though.
