Rockbox Rocks

I finally got around to trying out Rockbox on my iRiver iHP-140 mp3 player. Not as functional as the default firmware (no recording or radio for instance) but what does work, works very well. For example, the default firmware’s in-track seek function just runs through the track in a uniform manner. The Rockbox firmware not just accelerates, but also decelerates just before the end – really useful when trying to find something close to the end. It also has on-the-fly playlists and no gaps between tracks, two features inexplicably missing from the default firmware.
