I guess one of these is always useful, does anybody know roughly much they'll cost? I don't have an immediate use for one, but it's something useful to add to the toolkit.

I'm curious, but why would you want a ZIF adapter for the iRiver - for solid state memory? (sorry, I'm in stupid mode tonight so forgive the possibly-obvious question)

Should Rockbox come with a PDF of a measuring tape we can use to calculate the circumference of our heads? Because as far as I know, every person hears sound slightly differently from the next person... Resonant frequencies dictated by head density, width between ears and overall shape, low-end and

Ok, so the unit of one 'bel' is nothing more than the representation of an abstract value. WhatIs defines the Bel as 'the logarithmic ratio between two levels of signal, power, voltage or current.' dB (Decibel) is commonly used though, as a unit of 1 Bel is a rather large amount. Due to its abstr

I might be wrong (please correct me if I am!) but from what I've seen of the circuit board and the reset switch, with the device's casing off, I believe the reset button is nothing more than a software button, insofar that it doesn't actually break any circuit. To me, it looks like pressing it mere

I'm pretty sure that the RB team could prove precedence through first usage (all it'd take is a quick few Internet Archive searches and a choice few Google searches to cull relevant statistical information as to when the name 'Rockbox' was first used)...   ... I like Rockblox better than Tetr
