Ich neige ja schon dazu, mir sinnlose und eigentlich überflüssige elektronische gadgets zu kaufen (wenn ich das entsprechende Kleingeld habe 😉 ), aber mit dem DAP habe ich glaube ich keinen Fehlkauf gemacht, das Teil bringt Spaß. So langsam lerne ich auch die Möglichkeiten die Rockbox bietet kennen. Die selbst definierten dynamischen Wiedergabelisten sind schon mal toll und da habe ich vermutlich auch erst an der Oberfläche gekratzt.

Ich höre auf jeden Fall wieder deutlich mehr und auch gezielter Musik.

¿Alguien por aquí usa un iPod Classic para escuchar música? Mi idea era ponerle Rockbox pero en Linux la app no me reconoce el dispositivo y en Windows se conecta y se desconecta todo el rato y no puedo hacer nada con él. ¿Alguien sabe qué puede estar pasando? 🤔

#FediAyuda #iPod #Rockbox

Ich hatte noch nie ein Spotify Abo, ja, beim iPhone nutze ich das Apple Musikstreaming, im Endeffekt höre ich aber immer die gleichen Lieder.

Warum dann nicht wieder Oldschool mit MP3 Player? Da sind wenigstens die Kopfhörer nicht ständig leer und die Songs wird auch nicht von jedem Pups unterbrochen.

Die Hauptaufgabe meine CDs als FLAC zu rippen war unter Linux kein Thema.

@mochabeau consider #RockBox if it's an #iPodClassic...

@dook You've helped me so much with Rockbox lately, I figured it's my time to give back to the community as a thank you!

I've made a repository of color schemes for Themify 2 that I've been using since the Themify 1 days! Users simply drag and drop these cfg files to their .rockbox/themes folder :)

Are you okay with these config files still having your name in them at the top, or would you prefer your name to be removed? Let me know either way :)

Starting in April, Japan gets stricter regarding violations while cycling.

Using earplugs is forbidden, and I'm out of ideas for alternatives.
I'm using a single earplug to listen to podcasts, with the FiiO M3K player running #rockbox - great device and excellent rockbox support.

The canonical idea to become "compliant" is to go for bone conduction headsets - just these are all Bluetooth connected, and Rockbox does not support Bluetooth. Hm..

Escribí algo sobre mi iPod Classic en el blog, lo tenía pendiente. Es un dispositivo al que le tengo cierto cariño, lo uso con Rockbox y me parece excelente para escuchar música sin distracciones. damian.murana.uy/mi-ipod-class #iPod #iPodClassic #Rockbox

Die originale Benutzeroberfläche von dem Teil ist gar nicht mal so gut, aber zum Glück gibt es ja mit #Rockbox ein Projekt das für diverse DAPs ein alternatives Betriebssystem zur Verfügung stellt. Der Surfans wird voll unterstützt (na gut, Bluetooth geht nicht aber dank Dualboot kann man auch im Stock-System booten wenn man möchte) und die Installation ist nicht sehr schwer. Nachdem ich jetzt auch ein paar Themes ausprobiert habe bin ich fürs erste zufrieden. Ach ja, die Soundqualität ist wirklich gut, wahrscheinlich besser, als ich hören kann. 😉

Neues Spielzeug

So, mein neues Spielzeug ist angekommen, ein #DAP, ein Digitaler Audio Player. Mein fast 20 Jahre alter Archos Gemini XS202 funktioniert zwar auch noch, kann aber leider keine *.flac Dateien abspielen, obwohl ich begeistert darüber bin, das er immer noch funktioniert und er tatsächlich eine 20GB Festplatte eingebaut hat. Musik am Handy geht zwar auch, aber ich möchte mal wieder Musik hören ohne nebenbei noch am Handy zu spielen und außerdem finde ich das man diese Unix Philosophie "Ein Tool für eine Aufgabe" auch auf Hardware anwenden kann.

Ich habe jetzt auch erst mal #Rockbox auf dem neuen Spielzeug installiert. 😉

@FreakyFwoof @tuukkao I have always admired #rockbox however I never bought a supported player. Do you know if some supported devices are available these days?

Awesome DIY-hack:

Hmmm, since I started toying with self-hosting and local music files, I seem to have started having fun with listening to music again.

I'm a dirty little noobie and have no clue what I'm doing, but lowering the semitone to somewhere between -2 to -5 on some tracks from the #FastNEO OST and playing with some bass/trebble is just so much fun! Now if I could only find some reverb or echo in #RockBox

WTF moment of the day:

I plug my Sansa Clip+ (portable music player) with #RockBox on it via USB to my laptop.

I click the home button on the Sansa Clip+ …

… on my laptop’s screen a menu pops up 🤨

I try it again – same thing!

It turns out it mimicks a USB mouse and you can use the d-pad to move the cursor and have both a LBM and RMB, with volume rocker as scroll wheel 🤯

OK, it turns with the power button you can switch between Mouse, Multimedia, Presentation and Browser keys modes 🤯🤯

@chris I used #RockBox on two MP3 players I had when I temporarily resurrected them 10ish years ago. It was fab, sadly both became pretty much unusable due to dying batteries.

Fairly sure it has a working port of Doom, built in/available so you can play it on your MP3's tiny screen.

I went through quite a time trying to get my 2007 #iPod to play nice with my linux PCs, and ultimately was unsuccessful with the 'sync with my device but use Rhythmbox/Amarok/Strawberry' approach. Reformatted many times and got messages that it was synched, but the device would always show '0 songs'.
Eventually I found #RockBox, a standalone bootloader and OS that can be loaded on top of the existing iPod OS.This renewed my motivation to keep going... Attempts to install using the Linux AppImage kept giving SSL handshake errors, and I nearly gave up again. I tried one last time using the wife's Windows PC, and it worked great, and I'm now able to load stuff on there with a simple disk mount > drag & drop process on my Fedora laptop.
The experience using Rockbox is great - slightly frustrating navigating on a tiny screen, but that's only because there are so many options and menus since the feature list is so long. I'd rather it be feature heavy over requiring the user to use a pc-connection to take actions.
Unfortunately, the battery seems to be very near end-of-life, because it gave only a couple of hours of play on a full charge. Next step will be opening the unit and dropping in a replacement battery. I do wonder if the software is a little bit more power-hungry due to the additional features.

It seems #ListenBrainz might be what I am looking for. Will feed it some nonsense through the Android app and see how the recommendations work.

I hope scrobbling from dedicated music players (e.g. using #RockBox firmware) and bidirectional integrations into desktop apps will work as well as from the phone soon.
