When I click on the filename on my desktop, it opens to a Rockbox folder. When I click on that, it simply opens up a list of files. What do I do with this list of files?Thanks, John At 09:10 PM 4/13/2009, you wrote:To my knowledge, the rockbox utility - rbutilrq - is not accessible to VI users. I will be doing some testing on it later.Since you use a Sansa E250, you need to download the following:The rockbox firmware http://download.rockbox.org/release/3.2/rockbox-sansae200-3.2.zip The bootloader: http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/sansapatcher/win32/sansapatcher.exe The voice file: http://download.rockbox.org/release/3.2/sansae200-3.2-english.zipAfter you have downloaded the above, do the following:1. Make sure the hold switch is not on hold. Face the player so that the headphone jack is pointing away from you. The scrol wheel should be closest to you. Move the switch on the left of the headphone jack to the left if it is not already there. Connect your mp3 player to your PC.2. make sure you can access the player. This is to ensure that the player is in MSC mode. It usually is already in MSC mode. To make sure, disconnect the player, have a sited person turn on the player, go to Settings --> USB Mode, and press select on MSC.3. Extract the rockbox-sansae200-3.2.zip file to the root of the player's drive.4. Run the bootloader, and follow the instructions. It will first look for your player. Then you press I for install, followed by the enter key. After a few seconds, it will finish installing. It will say"[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully. Press ENTER to exit sansapatcher" Press enter.5. Extract the sansae200-3.2-english.zip file to the root of your player's directory.6. Disconnect the player, and it should come up talking. Make sure you have headphones connected!HTH, Timothy ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Chilelli" <j...@neo.rr.com> To: "Timothy" <tmthywy...@aol.com> Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 8:09 PM Subject: Re: Working with the Sandisk Sansa-E250Hi Timothy,Thanks for the prompt reply. I found a Sansa E250 with a 2gb micro SD card for under $40. Since almost everything is accessible with RockBox, I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. I already downloaded the latest RockBox to install onto the Sansa. Anything I need to know to help me make the installation go smoothly to get everything working right? The reason why I ask, the file I downloaded ended up being called rbutilqt-v1.2.zip. Do you know if this is the right file to have downloaded?Thank you, John At 07:27 PM 4/13/2009, you wrote:I believe I was. I'm not sure on how to write the tutorial. I'm more of a question answer guy.When you install rockbox on your Sansa E250 v1 mp3 player, everything will be acessible except for the games, and the recording screen. What I mean by "accessible" is, that it will not speak.The recording screen is completely usable. It just takes a tiny bit of memorization. I use it almost every week. It can record both from the microphone and from the FM radio. The only thing you cannot control with speech is the volume sliders on the record screen. You can, however change the bitrate, format, an record source.Hope that answers your question.If you can ask me spesefic questions, I'd probably be able to write up a tutorial eventually. Just ask away!From, Timothy ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Chilelli" <j...@neo.rr.com> To: <tmthywy...@aol.com> Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 5:33 PM Subject: Re: Working with the Sandisk Sansa-E250Hi Timothy,Are you the gentleman who was willing to help a chap like myself get RockBox installed on my Sansa E250 version 1 MP3 player?I was also wondering just how accessible RockBox makes the E250 once installed on the unit?Thank you, John At 08:51 AM 2/15/2009, you wrote:Yes it will.
