The Rockbox folder is very complex. In order for files to be spoken, there are some utilities which must be run. These are in another folder which is a part of what Mr. Mesa has in his Sansa players.
I think it's wonderful to see that he has taken the time and trouble to offer these products. He is well versed in the workings of these players and is very patient with people who may have difficulties with the players, especially when they first receive them.
