 Hi,
 I have an IAudio X5. I'm not sure how well navigation works in the
 default firmware, and IAudio has released newer players than the X5, but
 I installed Rockbox, which was extremely easy and I can now utilize all
 the functions of Rockbox. I'm not sure how many places actually still
 sell the X5, so I'll leave the rest of the comments on IAudio's players
 up to other list members.

 I want to know if any one is using the iaudio players and if they have 
 been
 able to navigate from folder to folder.
 I am thinking about purchasing this player but if you can't move from 
 track
 to track and folder to folder I don't want it.

Ok what is the proceedure for navigating folders with the rockbox software. 
I would assume that you could use the same key presses without using the 
software.

Hi,
 From reading the manual, I'm pretty sure this isn't the case. To pop up 
the file browser in Rockbox, with the X5 you press the center of the 
joystick. You're then placed on your current song, and you use the left 
arrow to move up levels, up and down to move in that level and right to 
open a folder or open a song. I'm pretty sure there are more keystrokes 
needed with the stock firmware. A blind person should be able to do it 
as long as they have someone figure it out with them the first time.

If you have the X5, I can either attach and send or point you to a URL 
with lists of the menus in order with the latest stock firmware, to make 
it easier to use the features.

Hi,
As of right now, Rockbox only works on the X5. It can be ported by 
someone who knows how to code in whatever language Rockbox is in, to a 
few of the players as all the docs are there. But no one has done it 
yet. Most of the newer players aren't ported yet, because no one has 
taken them apart and figured out what sort of hardware they have inside, 
and the drivers to get them working with OpenSource.
