なんとかかんとかRockboxを入れた。思ったよりバギーで、不安定なところあるがまあ良しとしよう。Macからは単なる外付けハードディスク扱いで任意のフォルダに音楽ファイルを放り込めば認識してくれるし、Flacとかもそのまま再生してくれるのも良い。フォントや外観テーマも変えられるので、カセットテープ風に。こうなるともう少し良い有線イヤフォンを探したくなるよね。

A hand holds a yellow portable media player displaying the text "ROCKbox" on its screen. The device features a circular control pad with buttons for navigation and playback. In the background, there is blurred furniture and a patterned bag.

An iPod with a yellow case is displayed, showing a blue screen with a menu featuring options like "Album Artist," "Artist," "Album," and more. The song "Changes" by 2Pac is currently playing, with a playful character on the side that resembles something from the first MacIntosh.

Well, it took four days of off and on work, navigating multiple (LLM-generated) guides and forums but I finally managed to get #RockBox loaded on my #Y1 (using the unsupported Linux build of the #Innioasis updater app) and I couldn’t be happier! Makes a fun […]

Just noticed one of my favorite pieces of software ever had a big update after more than 5 years: the #Rockbox media player software! https://www.rockbox.org

I ran this on an old #iPod color, of course, but later on an old #Android phone, a #FiiO M3K and today on a #Surfans F20! Honestly it […]

Holding the Fast Forward or Reverse for even a second jumps it ahead or behind by Minutes.

Ive heard people putting ROCKBOX on the InnioasisY1,

Is the Rockbox Fast Forward and Reverse any more granular?

got my old #RockBox player up and running again~ don't know if I'll start *using* it again, since it's got only 8GB internal and up to 32GB on the SD card slot, but it might be fun to mess around with again~

also, don't forget to check out my recent collab with @ravenflightmusic.bsky.social~

Good bye Rockbox I’m officially not taking part in anything related to Rockbox anymore. I’ve unsubscribed and I’m out. In the fall of 2001, my friend Linus and my brother Björn had both bought the portable Archos Player, a harddrive based mp3 player and slightly underwhelmed by its firmware they decided they would have a go at trying to improve it. All three of us had been working with embedded systems for many years already and I was immediately attracted to the idea of reverse engineering this kind of device and try to improve it. It sounded like a blast to me. In December 2001 we had the first test program actually running on the device and flashing a led. The first little step of what would become a rather big effort. We wrote a GPLed mp3 player firmware replacement, entirely from scratch without re-using any original parts. A full home-grown tiny multitasking operating system with a UI. Fast-forwarding through history: we managed to get a really good firmware done for the early Archos players and we managed to move on to follow-up mp3 players too. After a decade or so, **we supported well over 60 different mp3 player models** and we played every music format known to man, we usually had better battery life than the original firmwares. We could run doom and we had a video player, a plugin system and a system full of crazy things. We gathered large amounts of skilled and intelligent hackers from all over the world who contributed to make this possible. We had yearly meetups, or developer conferences, and we hung out on IRC every day of the week. I still hang out on our off-topic IRC channel! Over time, smart phones emerged as the preferred devices people would use to play music while on the go. We ported Rockbox over to Android as an app, but our pixel-based UI was never really suitable for the flexible Android world and I also think that most contributors were more interested in hacking devices than writing Android apps. The app never really attracted many users or developers so while functional it never “took off”. mp3 players are now already a thing of the past and will soon fall into the cave of forgotten old things our children will never even know or care about. Developers and users of Rockbox have mostly moved on to other ventures. I too stopped actually contributing to the project several years ago but I was running build clients for a long while and I’ve kept being subscribed to the development mailing list. Until now. I’m now finally cutting off the last rope. **Good bye Rockbox** , it was fun while it lasted. I had a massive amount of great fun and I learned a lot while in the project.

On this day eleven years ago I stopped contributing to the #rockbox project (Open Source mp3 player firmware): daniel.haxx.se/blog/2014/10/01/good-bye...
