OK, what I think I will do is conduct a usability test with my family. I'm going to have a go at building a list of most common tasks with Rockbox and share them here before I start. Ideas for these tasks are welcome, I'm thinking along the lines of: * Load music * Play music * As above for podcasts * Save a bookmark * Resume a bookmark * Make a playlist * Should installation be included?
One thing I want opinions on before I do that though is, how important is the manual? Should it have been read religiously before touching the device? Should it be there just in case they need a hand? At what point is it a problem if the user has to refer to the manual? Looking forward to responses. Sam
