Rockbox Replaces Archos Firmware
bagder writes: "The guys in the Rockbox project have just released the first working firmware replacement for the Archos portable hard disk-based MP3-players. The software is all GPL. Every tiny bit was reverse engineered, disassembled and then re-written from scratch. You can go download your own firmware right now!"
Bless their hearts. gnupod, anyone?

Get it in you!

My first first post?
I know, the hardware probably isn't appropriate... but it's always worth asking.
It thinks its an Ipod!
I have some money to invest, and my friend told me to buy shares of LNUX. He says it is a visionary company with a great business model, and should be generating tons of revenue soon ($$$!!!).
He also told me they own this website, www.slashdot.com. He said there are lots of friendly people who can help me.
He said I should buy LNUX now because it is priced well, and should have great growth potential. In fact it is such a great price right now that I can buy over 100 shares! What do you all think?
Thanks in advance!
the purpose of portable mp3 players?
I thought that's what minidisk was for, years ago.
OOoh, maybe it can be added if the decoding hardware is generic enough? Wow.. that would ROCK!
Isn't there some sort of torque problem that needs to be addressed with these hard drive-based devices? Have they engineered the things so that they don't twitch in your backpack?
I have been pwned because my
Figured I might as well be the first to say this... but doesn't this count as reverse engineering?
The days of playing a single format; mp3, are over for the archos...and in a good way. Hopfully the archos execs won't slap the DMCA on these guys using the "reverse-engineering excuse". -Jay
The purpose of this project is to write an Open Source replacement firmware for the Archos Jukebox 6000, Studio and Recorder MP3 players. News
2002-06-01: Version 1.0 is released! Download it here.
2002-06-01: Web site has been down three days due to a major power loss.
2002-05-27: All v1.0 code is written, we are now entering debug phase. If you like living on the edge, here are daily builds.
(Old news items have moved to a separate page.)
We have a mailing list: rockbox@cool.haxx.se. To subscribe, send a message to majordomo@cool.haxx.se with the words "subscribe rockbox" in the body. Roadmap
This is a rough indication of which features we plan/expect/hope to be included in which versions. Naturally, this is all subject to change without notice. Version 1.1 Playlist support, scrolling, UI improvements Version 1.2 Recorder support, UI improvements Version 1.3 Resume, persistent settings, autobuild playlists, UI improvements About the hardware
I wrote a "dissection" page some months ago, showing the inside of the Archos and listing the main components. I have also collected a couple of data sheets. Also, don't miss the research notes from my reverse-engineering the firmware. About the software
The player has one version of the firmware burnt into flash ROM. The first thing this version does after boot is to look for a file called "archos.mod" in the root directory of the harddisk. If it exists, it is loaded into RAM and started. This is how firmware upgrades are loaded. Dreams
Ok, forget about reality, what could we do with this?
- All those simple mp3-play features we sometimes miss:
- No pause between songs
- Mid-song resume
- Mid-playlist resume
- No-scan playlists
- Unlimited playlist size
- Autobuild playlists (such as "all songs in this directory tree")
- Auto-continue play in the next directory
- Current folder and all sub-folder random play
- Full disk random play
- REAL random (if press back it goes to the previous song that was played)
- Multi song queue (folder queue)
- Faster scroll speed
- Archos Recorder support. Most of the hardware is the same, but the display and some other things differ.
- All kinds of cool features done from the wire remote control, including controlling your Archos from your car radio (req hw mod)
- Ogg Vorbis support [unverified: the MAS is somewhat programmable, but enough?]
- Support for megabass switch (req hw mod) [unverified: I just saw the DAC docs shows how to do it switchable. we need a free port pin to be able to switch]
- Player control via USB [unverified]
- Memory expansion? [doubtful: the current DRAM chip only has 10 address lines. we'd have to pull off one heck of a hw mod to expand that]

Is that legal? I mean, I'd just hate to see something like that challenged under the DMCA in all its ridiculousness. Any thoughts or ideas?
This past year, I was accepted into Carnegie Mellon's [cmu.edu] School of Computer Science [cmu.edu]. It has been a remarkable experience that I would lik e to share with the Slashdot community. Here's an account of my experience.
Week 1, Sunday: I moved in today. My roommate, a sophomore CS student, had already moved in tw o days before me. The floor is already completely covered with garbage. He also smells. I think he might be gay too. He's already asked me if I like the color he painted his toenails. This should be interesting. I am almost completely settled in. Techno music is playing in every room in every floor of my dorm. There are computers and other types of trash out in the common areas. What a mess. Tom orrow, I am going to go sign up to get my network connection.
Week 1, Monday: I got hooked up to the CMU network today! I jacked into the network, only to f ind that the hostname and address assigned to me were colliding with another system. I'll just increm ent the network numbers a few times. I am really eager to get on.
Week 1, Tuesday: I am still looking for a free IP address. Can't anybody here properly configu re their systems?
Week 1, Friday: I finally found a free IP! It's mine! You sons of bitches can't have i t, I found it, I keep it, it's mine! To hell with all of you! Head hurts really bad. I've slowly be en developing a headache since I first arrived. Everywhere I look there are these Lucent Technologies wireless access points. I wonder if that's the problem.
Week 1, Saturday: I sat down at my computer today. My desktop wall paper is now the goatse.cx guy. Pleasant. Scattered over every directory on my C: drive are thousands, possibly millions, of fi les titled "J00AR30WN3DBITCH-phj33r-" and then some random hacker's name. Don't these people have liv es? Maybe they need laid or something. It'd take days to clean this out. I mentioned to my roommate that I needed to reinstall Windows, and immediately he jumped up and shouted: "NO! Do NOT use Windows!" Suddenly, two dozen other guys (all of them possibly homosexuals) appeared at the door, each tout ing an operating system called Linux. Half of them got into a fight over which was better, Debian, Re dHat, Slackware, and a bunch of others I couldn't recognize. Some kid who appeared to not have shower ed since he was born was touting "Linux From Scratch", saying that only losers used pre-made distros. A crowd of people in the back kept quiet about how I'd be sorry if I used Linux instead of BSD on the network. Who the fuck are these people? Classes start next week. Hope I have my computer working s o I can do my assignments.
Week 3, Friday: People are still trying to get Linux to work on my system. They keep telling m y that my hardware sucks. We go through about four or five distributions a day. Every now and then, I notice a little devil on my screen. Stickers for every of these distributions have been plastered o n my case. Suddenly, my room stinks a lot more with these people in here. I ask them why they never shower, and the usual response is something along the lines of "showering is like rebooting" and "I do n't want to lose my uptime."
Week 3, Saturday: There's a troop of men running naked in a circle around McGill Hall. I am no t even going to ask.
Week 4, Wednesday: Linux is FINALLY working on my computer! I have a pretty slick desktop too. I think I might like this. I can finally work in my room instead of the labs, although considering the every increasing layer of garbage on the floor...
Week 4, Thursday: My computer flashes messages about how I am "0WNX0RED" and how I should "PHJ3 3R" whoever and how "L4MEX0R" I am for having an insecure box. A kid suggests we reinstall Linux afte r discovering about 17 rootkits.
Week 5, Friday: Someone got BSD working on my computer. I wonder if this will last. The stres s has been building and I forgot to take a shower this morning.
Week 6, Tuesday: Seems I have been "0WNX0R3D" again. Took longer this time. Minutes later, so meone comes in with a "Bastile Linux" install CD. He gets started installing. I am feeling very susp icious of these guys.
Week 6, Thursday: Everyone seems to know more about my system than I do. It's a bit unnerving. I guess anyone could feel upset from this sort of treatment. They hack my box, trash it, then reins tall everything. I guess they think they're being funny. My dirty clothes are piling up and I am out of clean ones. I don't have time to do laundry, I'll have to wear something out of the pile.
Week 6, Friday: I got up this morning, sat at my machine, and stared at it blankly. An icon ap peared on my desktop for Quake III. I suppose it couldn't hurt to play some. I have been very stress ed lately.
Week 6, Sunday: I lost track of time! I started playing Quake III on the network with some oth er CMU students (who killed me hundreds of times in the course of 10 minutes) and completely lost myse lf. There's a bag of chips that has been sitting here for a few weeks. I think I'll finish those off for breakfast and then go to sleep.
Week 7, Wednesday: I masturbate every day now. Not a single girl comes near me. This is so de pressing. Do I really smell? Oh well, I have the task of learning how to secure my Linux box to keep me busy. Who has time for the opposite sex after all?
Week 8, Tuesday: I got into a fight with this little shit who kept telling me RedHat was great. What a fucking moron! Anybody who knows Linux knows that Debian kicks its sorry little ass. I'll b e getting my judiciary papers for the incident in the mail. Doesn't this school get it? I can't let someone go around converting people to RedHat! WtF!?
Week 8, Friday: My roommate squeezed my ass today! At first I was shocked and appauled, and I told him off for it. Thinking about it later though, there was just something that seemed too strong about my reaction. I'll talk to him later and appologize for getting so upset, it wasn't really so bad.
Q17. I don't see you mentioning ogg files on your list of ideas. What about supporting those?
A17. At the current time we belive this is not very likely (though we are not completely closing out this possibility). The Micronas chip (MAS3507) decoder in the archos does not natively support ogg decoding and there is very little program space in the player to implement it ourselves. The alternative would be to write a software decoder as part of the RockBox firmware. However, as much as we love our players, the computing power of the Archos (SH1 microcontroller) is not fully sufficent for this need (Once again, this is not a definative no. The world is full of brilliant people. We just aren't hunting down all the ones not already involved with the project right this instant).
So, even if you rewrite the firmware under GPL, what is the point unless offers new features?
Oohhh, that's handy. Frequently asked questions like mine all in one handy place.
Why?
Someone please explain.
Hey, I have a lot of respect for all you guys who like to eat pussy because there are too few of you out there. And I'm not the only woman who says this. Furthermore, some of you guys who are giving it the old college try are not doing too well, so maybe this little lesson will help you out. When a woman finds a man who gives good head, she's found a treasure she's not going to let go of him too quickly. This is one rare customer and she knows it. She won't even tell her girlfriends about it or that guy will become the most popular man in town. So, remember, most guys can fuck, and those who can usually do it satisfactorily, but the guy who gives good head, he's got it made.
Most women are shy about their bodies. Even if you've got the world's most gorgeous woman in bed with you, she's going to worry about how you like her body. Tell her it's beautiful, tell her which parts you like best, tell her anything, but get her to trust you enough to let you down between her legs. Now stop and look at what you see.
Beautiful, isn't it?
There is nothing that makes a woman more unique than her pussy.
I know. I've seen plenty of them. They come in all different sizes, colors and shapes; some are tucked inside like a little girl's cunnie and some have thick luscious lips that come out to greet you. Some are nested in brushes of fur and others are covered with transparent fuzz. Appreciate your woman's unique qualities and tell her what makes her special. Women are a good deal more verbal than men, especially during love-making. They also respond more to verbal love, which means, the more you talk to her, the easier it will be to get her off. So all the time you're petting and stroking her beautiful pussy, talk to her about it.
Now look at it again.
Gently pull the lips apart and look at her inner lips, even lick them if you want to. Now spread the tops of her pussy up until you can find her clit. Women have clits in all different sizes, just like you guys have different sized cocks. It doesn't mean a thing as far as her capacity for orgasm. All it means is more of her is hidden underneath her foreskin.
Whenever you touch a woman's pussy, make sure your finger is wet. You can lick it or moisten it with juices from inside her. Be sure, by all means, to wet it before you touch her clit because it doesn't have any juices of its own and it's extremely sensitive. Your finger will stick to it if it's dry and that hurts. But you don't want to touch her clit anyway. You have to work up to that. Before she becomes aroused, her clit is too delicate to be handled.
Approach her pussy slowly. Women, even more so than men, love to be teased. The inner part of her thigh is her most tender spot. Lick it, kiss it, make designs on it with the tip of your tongue. Come dangerously close to her pussy, then float away. Make her anticipate it.
Now lick the crease where her leg joins her pussy. Nuzzle your face into her bush. Brush your lips over her slit without pressing down on it to further excite her. After you've done this to the point where your lady is bucking up from her seat and she's straining to get more of you closer to her, then put your lips right on top of her slit.
Kiss her, gently, then harder. Now use your tongue to separate her pussy lips and when she opens up, run your tongue up and down between the layers of pussy flesh. Gently spread her legs more with your hands. Everything you do with a woman you're about to eat must be done gently.
Tongue-fuck her. This feels divine. It also teases the hell out of her because by now she wants some attention given to her clit. Check it out. See if her clit has gotten hard enough to peek out of its covering. If so, lick it. If you can't see it, it might still be waiting for you underneath. So bring your tongue up to the top of her slit and feel for her clit. You may barely experience its presence. But even if you can't feel the tiny pearl, you can make it rise by licking the skin that covers it. Lick hard now and press into her skin.
Gently pull the pussy lips away and flick your tongue against the clit, hood covered or not. Do this quickly. This should cause her legs to shudder. When you sense she's getting up there toward orgasm, make your lips into an O and take the clit into your mouth. Start to suck gently and watch your lady's face for her reaction. If she can handle it, begin to suck harder. If she digs it, suck even harder. Go with her. If she lifts her pelvis into the air with the tension of her rising orgasm, move with her, don't fight her. Hang on, and keep your hot mouth on her clit. Don't let go. That's what she'll be saying too: 'Don't stop. Don't ever stop!'
There's a reason for that - most men stop too soon. Just like with cock sucking, this is something worth learning about and worth learning to do well. I know a man who's a lousy fuck, simply lousy, but he can eat pussy like nobody I know and he never has trouble getting a date. Girls are falling all over him.
But back to your pussy eating session...There's another thing you can do to intensify your woman's pleasure. You can finger-fuck her while she's enjoying your clit-licking talents. Before, during or after. She'll really like it. In addition to the erogenous zones surrounding her clit, a woman has another extremely sensitive area at the roof of her vagina. This is what you rub up against when you're fucking her. Well, since your cock is pretty far away from your mouth, your fingers will have to do the fucking.
Take two fingers. One is too skinny and three is too wide and therefore can't get deep enough. Make sure they're wet so you don't irritate her skin. Slide them inside, slowly at first, then a little faster. Fuck her with them rhythmically. Speed up only when she does. Listen to her breathing.
She'll let you know what to do. If you're sucking her clit and finger-fucking her at the same time, you're giving her far more stimulation than you would be giving her with your cock alone. So you can count on it that she's getting high on this. If there's any doubt, check her out for symptoms. Each woman is unique. You may have one whose nipples get hard when she's excited or only when she's having an orgasm. Your girl might flush red or begin to tremble. Get to know her symptoms and you'll be a more sensitive lover.
When she starts to have an orgasm, for heaven's sakes, don't let go of that clit. Hang in there for the duration. When she starts to come down from the first orgasm, press your tongue along the underside of the clit, leaving your lips covering the top. Move your tongue in and out of her cunt. If your fingers are inside, move them a little too, gently though, things are extremely sensitive just now.
If you play your cards right, you'll get some multiple orgasms this way. A woman stays excited for a full hour after she's had an orgasm. Do you realize the full impact of that information? The potential? One woman was clocked at 56 orgasms at one sitting. Do you know what effect you would have on a woman you gave 56 orgasms to? She'd be yours as long as you wanted her.
The last advice I have for you is this: After you've made her come, made her your slave by giving her the best head she's ever had, don't leave her alone just yet. Talk to her, stroke her body, caress her breasts. Keep making love to her quietly until she's come all the way down. A man can get off and go to sleep in the same breath and feel no remorse, no sense of loss. But a woman by nature requires some sensitivity from her lover in those first few moments after sex.
Oral sex can be the most exciting sexual experiences you can have. But it's what you make it. Take your time, practice often, pay attention to your lover's signals, and most of all, enjoy yourself.
The G-Spot
This does exist. And in over half of the women out there, it works better than anything else you can do to cause a strong, prolonged orgasm. The original name is the Grafenberg spot, after a doctor, Earnest Grafenberg, who documented the area (which may have been known by people here and there throughout history) in the fifties.
This "spot" is a small "mound" of tissue inside the vagina, between a penny and quarter in size, which responds to being pressed upon. It's almost certainly not the skenes glands, (which are located around the urethra, which is behind the G-spot area), as has been suggested by a few people. In fact, the G-Spot is the tissue in that raised area of the vagina, which has a higher concentration of sexual nerves, and produces hormones similar to those made by the male's prostate gland.
A sort of map to the area -- Imagine your lover lying on her back, legs spread. Your position is between her legs. You would slide a finger inside her vagina, palm up. With your finger straight back, middle finger is best, you would curve it toward yourself, gently, as if you were gesturing to someone to "come here". In doing so, the area you press on should be pretty near her "G-Spot" area. If you know enough to follow the urethra (the tube that leads from the bladder to where the pee comes out), along the inside of her vagina, you may feel a slight swelling (if she's excited) at the point where the g-spot is.
She must be excited, especially if either you or she is new to the g-spot, for the g-spot to have any real effect at all. It's not the ideal area for getting your lover aroused.
But when she is excited, this area (more often than not) is the best way to bring her to orgasm. You work your way back to it gradually, teasing her (typically, this works best) with your fingers, slowly and gently. It's easier to hit the right area with two fingers, but this may not be comfortable for her, depending on how "tight" she is at that moment. When you have your fingers around the right area, try gently pressing, not too quickly. The movement should be fairly rhythmic. It's typically best if you're licking her clitoris (or near it, depending on the woman) at the same time...don't make a big deal out of the "quest", this will often make her feel self-conscious, or distracted. The licking should seem to be the primary activity.
When you find the right area, she should respond by getting more excited. Most of the vagina's inside surface isn't really that sexually sensitive, believe it or not...most of the excitement of randomly inserting fingers is more psychological than from the actual stimulation.
While more complicated techniques work with some women, some of the time, the best basic technique, upon finding the g-spot, is to continue to slowly, rhythmically press on it, while licking her clitoris (for a few women, the labia (lips) are sensitive to licking, too).
This should cause her to build up to an orgasm.
A G-Spot orgasm is different (always, when it works at all) than any other kind women have. It is possible, with some women, to have different qualities and kinds of orgasms from vaginal, clitoral, anal, and even breast stimulation...but with other women, those kinds of orgasms are all pretty much the same. But the G-Spot orgasm not only feels different; it also causes her body to react in a different way.
First, it often causes a "push out" orgasm. The area around, or "above" (farther inside, that is) your fingers seems to swell up or to contract toward the opening of her vagina.
If you find the right combination of pushing back when this happens, and slacking off to let it push out, you can cause (in perhaps half of the women) her orgasm to continue happening, long after normal ones would have subsided. In some women you can even keep her at a "plateau" (raised level) of sexual excitement, like a prolonged orgasm (or a little less than one) afterward, building up to an even bigger climax.
That brings me to another important point; G-Spot orgasms sometimes causes a huge amount (relatively speaking) of lubrication (juices, wetness)...far more than even the most excited woman gets from "conventional" stimulation.
When that extra wetness combines with the push-out orgasm, you get actual ejaculation...like a guy, but much better tasting. The built up juices can shoot out in such volume that you, or she, may be afraid that she lost control of her bladder. That is (almost always) not what happened. The fear that she peed can be enhanced by the fact that the urethra is behind the g-spot, so that in rare cases the woman can sometimes get the feeling that she needs to pee, even though she does not.
In reality, in both men and women, enough sexual excitement prevents peeing, unless you try really hard. This is a built-in reflex, because urine is something of a spermicide. The "pee hard-on" that men get in the morning is partially his body taking advantage of this reflex, to keep him from accidentally wetting the bed with the urine that built up while he was sleeping.
Taste
Anyone who likes, say, coffee or beer should have no room to complain about the way most women taste. No, I don't mean it tastes like coffee or beer, genius...I mean that beer and coffee are, at best, acquired tastes...they are not naturally pleasant to a human being, no matter how much your addiction to one or both has convinced you otherwise. Most people, whether they remember it or not, had to learn to like the taste of beer/coffee, and had the desire to be Like the Adults to help them along. Well, I'd list taking pleasure in cunnilingus above drinking addictive beverages on the list of things that prove maturity. Aside from that, there's the fact that many people who give it an honest try genuinely enjoy the taste/smell.
i own the 20 gig version of the archos jukebox, and i love it, it goes everywhere with me, the only problems are the relatively short battery life, about 5 hours between charges, and it only plays mp3 and wma and it only plays the most common bitrates, a big plus though is it plays winamp playlists, if i could replace the firmware, i would take the time to convert all my files and re-rip my cds to ogg vorbis, its a great format that hasn't really taken hold, plus its a lot more fun to say then em-pee-three

If she can handle it, begin to suck harder. If she digs it, suck even harder. Go with her. If she lifts her pelvis into the air with the tension of her rising orgasm, move with her, don't fight her. Hang on, and keep your hot mouth on her clit. Don't let go. That's what she'll be saying too: 'Don't stop. Don't ever stop!' There's a reason for that, most men stop too soon.
Just like with cock sucking, this is something worth learning about and worth learning to do well. I know a man who's a lousy fuck, simply lousy, but he can eat pussy like nobody I know and he never has trouble getting a date. Girls are falling all over him. But back to your pussy eating session...
There's another thing you can do to intensify your woman's pleasure. You can finger-fuck her while she's enjoying your clit-licking talents. Before, during or after. She'll really like it. In addition to the erogenous zones surrounding her clit, a woman has another extremely sensitive area at the roof of her vagina. This is what you rub up against when you're fucking her.
Well, since your cock is pretty far away from your mouth, your fingers will have to do the fucking. Take two fingers. One is too skinny and three is too wide and therefore can't get deep enough. Make sure they're wet so you don't irritate her skin. Slide them inside, slowly at first, then a little faster. Fuck her with them rhythmically. Speed up only when she does. Listen to her breathing. She'll let you know what to do.
If you're sucking her clit and finger-fucking her at the same time, you're giving her far more stimulation than you would be giving her with your cock alone. So you can count on it that she's getting high on this. If there's any doubt, check her out for symptoms. Each woman is unique. You may have one who's nipples get hard when she's excited or only when she's having an orgasm. Your girl might flush red or begin to tremble. Get to know her symptoms and you'll be a more sensitive lover.
When she starts to have an orgasm, for heaven's sakes, don't let go of that clit. Hang in there for the duration. When she starts to come down from the first orgasm, press your tongue along the underside of the clit, leaving your lips covering the top. Move your tongue in and out of her cunt. If your fingers are inside, move them a little too, gently though, things are extremely sensitive just now. If you play your cards right, you'll get some multiple orgasms this way. A woman stays excited for a full hour after she's had an orgasm.
Do you realize the full impact of that information? The potential? One woman was clocked at 56 orgasms at one sitting. Do you know what effect you would have on a woman you gave 56 orgasms to? She'd be yours as long as you wanted her.
The last advice I have for you is this: After you've made her come, made her your slave by giving her the best head she's ever had, don't leave her alone just yet. Talk to her, stroke her body, caress her breasts. Keep making love to her quietly until she's come all the way down.
A man can get off and go to sleep in the same breath and feel no remorse, no sense of loss. But a woman by nature requires some sensitivity from her lover in those first few moments after sex. Oral sex can be the most exciting sexual experiences you can have. But it's what you make it. Take your time, practice often, pay attention to your lover's signals, and most of all, enjoy yourself.
For the last time man...

Lots of other people have mentioned that they want Ogg support on their player and a few others have pointed out the FAQ answer that says it's probably too hard to do on this device. What I would like to see is a portable device that can be easily extended to arbitrary formats. For example, my current audio format of choice is FLAC which has no portable hardware support (though there apparently is a car player that supports it -- rock!). I doubt that it will become very popular though, because it's a lossless codec and therefore must take up more room than lossy codecs. But that's beside the point -- if someone makes a new audio format that is truly cool and does some things that certain people like or want, it would be neat if you could carry around that music without custom hardware.
Just a thought...
Does anyone have one of these? I'm wondering if there's any 3rd party firmware for them, Riovolt has been on version 1.01 for almost a year now.
Yes, you can find the new firmware at the Diamond Multimedia FTP site. Its Version 2.00 BETA, with extra features such as a steroscope. Here's the link:
ftp://ftp.diamondmm.com/pub/rio/riovolt/sp250/
Download the "riovolt_sp250_200-firmware.exe" file (the firmware) and its corresonding text file (the readme explaining the new features). Note that in this version, some buttons will perform completely different actions than in the original firmware.
just tried the mod out, works great on my Studio 20, of course the UI has quite a bit till it's up to the current archos build, but it's good to see someone making progress.
the cool thing about these players it you don't have to actually flash the rom, they boot off of the internal rom for a second and immediately look for a file in the root for updates, if the file's not there they just continue to boot from hardware.
I can understand a corporation wanting to keep their source code to themselves.
:-). We need to stand up for our rights, and if they are denied, we need to fight back with the only weapon available to us, our own money.
I can understand a corporation wanting to keep their protocol documentation a secret from the public.
I can even understand that a corporation may not want people replacing their firmware.
But that is no &@$%ing excuse for reverse engineering to be illegal. If I buy a program, and it is delivered to me in binary format, I paid for it. They didn't give me the source code, but the binary is mine. Telling me that I can't read that binary myself, and that only my computer may read it is complete bullc*#$!!!!
The execs haven't slapped the DMCA on these guys yet, and I am glad for that. I think that we should start buying archos to fool around with. But if they do slap the DMCA around, I think that would be a call for a good ol' fashion boycott (or boston archos party
You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
thats not really a similar project at all considering its done by the company that produces the hardware and not an independant third party group producing firmware for a commercial device they did not manufactor and sell
All this time I had a feeling Linsux users were fags.
I pwn you.
You guys, I can't believe what a monumental task this must have been. Kudos to the team.
Too bad they wasted their efforts on something so ghey. Almost as bad a Lun1sX!!!1~~~
I asked this myself before looking at the FAQ from the Rockbox site. Since the MP3 decoding is done in hardware, and (by the developers' own admission) Ogg Vorbis support is unlikely, I ask myself again: What's the big deal?
Maybe it's the engineer in me, trying to look for a practical value in such an effort, but I don't see the point in reverse engineering a perfectly working piece of machinery that has a well-defined purpose: To play MP3 files. Since the hardware is proprietary, what's the point in getting slightly better software for it, when it's likely that the vendor will release a patch themselves?
I believe that applying open source methods to software development must be done judiciously. The best times to do OSS is when the community at large will benefit greatly from the software produced, or when a vendor arbitrarily curtails some fundamental freedom in their software and we must find a workaround. I don't see either thing happening with this gadget. What's the advantage of going through all that trouble, when the alternative is probably a software patch or buying an iPod? Both options seem cheaper (time, $$) than hacking this little box. I honestly think that the developers could've made better use of their time.
Cheers!

No news on 3rd party firmware though? I posted the exact same question, so I'm sure there's enough interest to justify such a project.

Have you been stalked by Seth today?
Actually if you understood elementary physics you'd not have asked that. The platters are gyros, the effect is not a twitch, but actually a slight resistance to being moved. They do, of course, 'twitch' very slightly when the power is turned on.
The real problem is that it's difficult to make the other parts move as close to those platters as they need to, without being so close they 'crash' into the platters when you bump something.

Sweden is a member of the European Union, and the EU has issued a directive.
The big deal is hopefully they can fix the bugs that archos is unable / unwilling to fix. And here is that bug: The damn think skips *all* the time ... even when it's stationary. Sometimes with CBR mp3's, but all the time with VBR mp3s. They have some workarounds, but they dont work, I know its not my player because all my friends who have one complain about the same damn thing. Other then that one HUGE problem its really a great little device

now can we PLEASE have OGG support? :)
Surely it cannot be both. Disassembly of proprietary code and rewriting same is not legal, is it?
Treatment, not tyranny. End the drug war and free our American POWs.
See my user info for links.
Slow down there big boy! Not a single one of those has actually been implemented! Calling this thing v1.0 is really misleading. These guys are like Microsoft, yeah, they got 1.0 out the door, call me when they get 3.11 for Workgroups, k?
They complain about the shuffle. Dandy, everyone knows that no matter how good an Archos product is, the shuffle is fucking ridiculous. Archos wouldn't know what random is if random bit them in the bloody ass. But Rockbox doesn't even have a shuffle feature yet! And if they do, it's not mentioned in the release notes or available via the menu.
I'm sure these guys will do something great with this project, but call me when they add even one of the features on that list.

I just hope the Archos legal dept. isn't friends with the people over at Blizzard, or they might just pull out that DMCA whore and trick it out. I smell another bnetd.

You will have to look pretty hard for a jukbox6000, I don't think they are on the market any more. Check E-bay. Considering one of it's capabilities is a 6G USB hard drive, street value is proably under $200 now.

My recollection is that I saw a Studio, or Recorder version with a 20G drive for approx $350 last month at either Micro Center, or CompUSA. BestBuy currently has the Archos Jukbox Recorder 20, listed at $319 (my purchase price was listed at $299 when I put it in my cart) URL is http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=11101124&m=48
Prices apparently have come down. BestBuy also has the recorder in a 10G capacity, so you might find that workable instead. Price given for that is $259. Free shipping on all portable mp3 players.
Then again, I have relatives who either do or have worked for BestBuy. If you can find a better price somewhere else, and I think you probably can, go get it at the better price.

You never know...
Even if they posted trade secrets, the DMCA wouldn't apply. Other intellectual property laws would apply, but not the DMCA. To be clear, reverse engineering is still legal, except where the intent of the referse engineering is to circumvent a copy protection or content access management control mechanism. Sunce Archos has nothing to do with e-books, SDMI, or any other access rights mechanism, anyone bandying about DMCA violations needs to learn the difference between the law and the latest meme.

- Slink around, shuffling your feet and bobbing your neck like the lazy retard you are.
- Walk down the middle of the street because you don't know what a sidewalk is for.
- Hang out at carwashes and mini-marts because everybody knows these are the best places to be a dope, I mean dope.
- If you're a nigger bitch, shit three nigger babies into the world before 17 years of age. This assures that welfare money will support you, so your nigger men have more time to commit crimes. Oh yes, make sure each nigger baby has a different father.
- Bastardize the English language in the name of nigger culture. Make sure that several terms have multiple meanings and others have ambiguous meanings and that only 50% of nigger words are even complete words. Real niggers will know what you're trying to say.
- As a culture, make sure there are always more bucks in prison than in college at any given time.
- Hang out in packs of 10 to 15 and make sure everyone acts as annoying as possible. This helps to promote nigger individuality.
- Always talk loud enough so everyone in the 'hood' can fucking hear you, and if they are niggers, they will know what your saying, bro.
- Wear clothes that are 10 sizes too big, making sure the pants hang off your ass. Also huge pants facilitate stealing (let me translate that: "it be easier to lift dat 'box at the Kmart, homes"). If you have to hold them up while you walk, it only looks badder.
- Park at least 5 junk cars in your yard while being careful not to use the driveway. It's OK to abandon them in the street as long as it's in front of someone else's crib.
- Exaggerate every motion, every tonal inflection and grab your dick a lot. Have red carpet, blue walls, brass and overstuffed furnishings (all rented), purple bathrooms and keep all windows covered so that no light can enter and no cops can see in while you...
- Do drugs, sell drugs, make drugs.
- Turn your backyard into a junk yard. If you don't have a backyard, turn your mother's into a junk yard. Eliminate every blade of grass.
- Travel around leaching off relatives, friends, salvation armies. Abandon your children with them also.
- Smack your kids and yell at them a lot. Make them feel less than human and that they have no future, which they don't because they're niggers like you.
- Drink cheap wine and malt liquor every day, forgetting that "malt liquor" is just fortified cheap beer.
- If you're a nigger buck: fuck anything that moves, no matter how ugly she is. After two eight-balls, even the ugliest, fattest nigger bitch will look good.
- Be charitable and covet fat, ugly white chicks. After all, they're niggers too. They can't help being so undesirable to white men that they have to fraternize with black dudes on a 20/20 trip. And white ho's are a special trophy too, especially the not so ugly ones.
- Spray paint everything in sight with scribbles that mean nothing to White people but mean things to fellow niggers (except niggers from another hood who will probably try to kill you for tresspassing on their turf)
- Use the term "motherfucker" in every sentence. It's one of the most versatile words in the nigger language, being a noun, verb, adjective and complete mini-sentence in event you run out of thoughts.
- Stop in the middle of the street, blocking all traffic to converse with fellow niggers and have complete disregard for everyone else.
- Delay everybody at the checkouts while you and 3 other dudes fumble around for the $1.42 for the bottle of Magnum.
- Clog isles at Kmart with strollers, bastard kids and your fat selves. If you're a cashier, never look at or be cordial to a customer and always talk to other niggers while you ring up the customer.
- Overcharge customers at Taco Bell and pocket the difference.
- Drive your car while slouched so low that you can barely see over the wheel (gangsta drivin').
- Get a job under affirmative action. Then sit around all day pretending that you earned the position and that the other co
-workers respect you. Whenever you fuck up, scream "racism!" & hope you get enough Generation X liberals in the jury.
- Never, I mean NEVER, take any responsibility for your actions. Always blame others including Asians, Latinos, Mexicans, and especially Whites for your sorry ass stupid lives.
- Advertise your "nation" (gang) with a bewildering array of colors that mean nothing to any one but other nig's. Oh yes, if another nig violates your "nation" i.e. garbage strewn empty lots and burned out tenements, shoot their ass.
- Look for identity in murderous criminal gangs when you can't find it in broken nigger homes because your mother was a 15 year old cokewhore and your father is in jail doing 5 to 15 for pistol whipping a mini-mart cashier.
- Be all concerned with east/west connections, cellular phones, beepers, drive by's and other trivial bullshit that Whites will never understand anything about (what's to understand?)
- Lament ghetto gang life while at the same time...
- Listen to rap "music", which glorifies "gangsta" life, crime, drugs, murder, early death, oppression of women. Rip off other legit music to fabricate rap music which probably takes an engineering degree to "write" (because of the technical know-how to operate the machines) while not requiring any music talent at all. Then get some young criminal scum to perform it, after changing his name to something stupid like Snoopy Dog. Spell the name of the group with phonetics and use a number in it because nig's really like that. At least rap is an opportunity, e.g. for young black criminals to further their criminal careers. Rap needs only four things to be successful: a producer, a promoter, a front-man flunky, and MTV to shove it down our throats. Be sure to say absolutely nothing important during the 5 pages of dialogue in a given rap joint other than "look at how much of a nigger I can be." Then roll a joint in the joint and think about the joint while stylin' to the joint.
- Show other lame-ass races the black race is unique by having a culture/lifestyle that results in diseases/poverty/birth rates for blacks consistently rising while it falls for the others.
- Fear and loathing of dogs is set in the genes for nig's. Of course bigotry against blacks is set into the genes of dogs. So be sure to get a dog, tie it up in the cold and mud and neglect it until it dies. Then start all over again.
- Always have ten excuses involving hospitals for why you can't pay your bill. When or if you finally settle up, pull out a big wad of bills out of the welfare check to do it. Cash must be used because you long ago fucked up your credit and checking account.
- Cram 5 generations into a two room government apartment and still be able to neglect your kids.
- Die young. The #1 cause of death for nigger males between 15 and 30 is murder.

I wish we'd call it "analysis" or "research".
Reverse engineering is starting to take on a negative connotation, like "hacker" did. The "Reverse" thing sounds, retrograde, sinister, unconventional, at odds with the status quo.
From the site:
The archos.mod file is scrambled, but luckily not using encryption.
Each data byte is inverted and ROLed 1 bit. The data is then spread over four memory segments. The two least significant bits of the address is used as segment number and the rest as offset in the segment. So, basically:
* segment number = address % 4
* segment offset = address / 4
* segment length = imgsize / 4
A 6-byte header is added to the beginning of the scrambled image:
* 32 bit length (big-endian)
* 16 bit checksum
The Rockbox people have written and made available a descrambler/scrambler for it.
How is this any different from the DECSS program that is illegal? Not that I really think DECSS should be illegal, but this seems to be near the same to me. Why isn't this deemed encryption, even if it's not a really hard tough form of encryption?
ill add you to the list on whacking off to low quality photoshops

This story takes place back in the late 1990's. I was 25y/o and married at
the time. I met Kathleen through my best friend, Jeff Bates. (You all know him as Hemos)
She was about my age. Tall for a woman, about 5'9" or 5' 10". With shoulder length, dark brown,
hair and deep brown eyes. She probably weighed about 135# (I didn't ask).
Though I couldn't see much of her through her loose fitting blue jeans and
flannel shirt, there was no question in my mind that she was female. And,
appeared to be a damn good looking one too. So, I was a little surprised
when she told me, right up front, that she was a pre-op transsexual. I
consider myself a liberal thinker, so I just accepted the fact and let it
go at that.
I introduced her to my wife,Barb, and they hit it off right away. We all
soon became very good friends. In fact, a short while later, Kathleen ended up
staying with us for a while. It was a convenient arrangement. Because I was
working 2nd shift and, Kathleen, was working days. My wife wasn't working at
the time.
I should mention that the sex life between my wife and me was virtually
nonexistent (she's now my ex, by the way). However, I never had sexual
thoughts about Kathleen. I liked her, and enjoyed her company, but I guess I
just could never get past the fact that she had male parts.
All of that changed dramatically one Saturday afternoon. I had gone out to
run some errands. My wife had gone to visit her parents in another town for
the weekend. When I arrived home the house seemed empty. As I passed by the
patio doors I saw Kathleen lying on a blanket, on her back, sunning herself.
She was wearing bikini bottoms and no top.
I guess I'd never really looked at her before. Not like I was seeing her
now. She was stunningly beautiful. With long smooth shapely legs, a very
sexy curvaceous body, and her breasts were not too big and not too small. I
guess the word would be perky. I couldn't believe the vision of loveliness
I was looking at. If I didn't already know it, I never would've guessed
that there was a penis under those bikini bottoms.
I was in the kitchen when Kathleen came into the house (she had her top on
now). She walked by me casually and said, "Hi, Rob, I didn't know you
were home." I said nothing, but tried to hide my hardon as I watched that,
definitely female, ass walk by. She went into the bathroom and I heard the
shower turn on. All through dinner, I could not get the vision of Kathleen on
the patio out of my mind.
Later we sat around watching TV, chatting and having a few drinks. Kathleen
was dressed in a short miniskirt and light blouse that showed off her
luscious long legs and curvaceous body. If I didn't know better I'd have
sworn she was trying to tease me.
During the conversation she said, "You know, Rob, I've always found you
to be a very attractive man. After I have my surgery, I'd like to come back
& bed you down." I don't know if it was the drinks, the fact that I hadn't
had sex in months (other than Rosy Palm and her four sisters), or the
combination of both.
But, I was getting some pretty strange thoughts regarding Kathleen. I guess
she must've read my mind, because she then said, "actually, if you'd like,
we don't have to wait." As she was speaking she kind of strolled over to
where I was sitting, knelt down between my spread legs and began to unzip
my pants. I made no move to resist as she reached in and extracted my
rapidly stiffening cock. I've never actually measured myself, and don't
consider myself all that big. Kathleen, however, was mumbling something about
how big it was just before she wrapped her luscious lips around the head
and sucked the shaft completely into her hot wet mouth... I was in heaven
feeling her warm wet, definitely female, mouth moving up and down on my
throbbing boner.
I was thinking that I wasn't going to be able to hold out very long if she
kept that up. She stopped her mouth action (which greatly disappointed me)
and stood up. She took me by the hand and led me to her bedroom. Watching
her sexy ass lead the way, I had lost all resistance at this point. As she
sat me on the bed and began removing my clothing, I nervously commented
that I'd never done it with anyone with a dick before. To which she
replied, "don't think of it as a dick. Think of it as an oversized
clitoris."
After she'd removed my clothes, she stood and began undressing, with her
back to me. I laid there with a raging boner as I stared at her gorgeous
body and luscious ass. When she turned around I got my first look at her
penis. It actually was, not much more than an oversized clit. It was about
1 or 2 inches long, hard. It actually resemble the penis of a very young
child. But, I didn't think about that at the time.
Kathleen laid on the bed beside me and began to suck my steel hard rod again,
as I rubbed her tits and that smooth firm, perfectly shaped, bubble butt.
After a few minutes of sucking, she reached into her night stand and
brought out a tube of lubricant. As she was rubbing my fat cock with the
slippery substance and saying, "I want you inside me," it suddenly dawned
on me that, that beautiful ass I'd been admiring so much was where I was
about to stick my hard cock! I'd never experienced anal sex before.
Kathleen laid on her stomach and offered her ass to me saying, "I like it from
behind. Lay on my back and fuck my male pussy." I needed no more
encouragement. I rolled over onto her back and felt her reach between us,
take hold of my throbbing member and place the head at her opening. I
pushed steadily and firmly. Feeling her butthole open up and accept the
head of my male offering. It was the tightest, hottest sensation I've ever
felt, as her male pussy engulfed my hard throbbing meat.
As we fell into a steady rhythm, I could feel her asshole tighten as I
withdrew and loosen as I impaled her, It was the most wonderful sensation
I've ever felt. As I was steadily fucking Kathleen's ass, she was saying
things like, "God yes! Fuck my ass! Oh God, this feels so good! It's been
so long since I've been fucked by a real man! Fuck me! Fuck me hard!"
These words only served to drive me on, and fuck her as hard as I could. By
now I had my hands underneath her, mauling her luscious tits. Pinching her
nipples, and slamming my cock into her ass at a furious pace.
Suddenly she began to scream, "Oh my God! I'm gonna cum. You're gonna make
cum this way! Fuck me! Fuck me! Make me cum! Please don't stop! Make me
cum!" Then I felt her ass contract around my cock several times in rapid
succession. This pushed me over the edge. I grunted something like, "I'm
gonna cum in your ass!" To which she replied, "Yes! Cum deep in my ass! I
want your cum in me!"
That did it! I slammed all the way into her. My whole body stiffened as I
shot several volleys of my hot juice deep into her bowels.
After we had both come down from our orgasmic high, we cuddled and talked
awhile. She told me that no-one had ever, actually, made her cum while
fucking her before. We slept together the rest of the weekend.
I learned that my wife and Kathleen had conspired to arrange this so that
Kathleen and I could both have an avenue for our sexual needs, and my wife
wouldn't be bothered by me unless she wanted to be. Which was almost
never. Don't get me wrong. I knew that my wife loved me. She just didn't
like sex.
Kathleen moved away about a year after that. To take a job where she could
make enough money to complete her transition. We eventually lost contact
with each other. My wife and I also eventually drifted apart, but it had
nothing to do with Kathleen.
I don't know if she ever completed the change or not. However, my
relationship with Kathleen forever changed my life and the way I look at
things.
It awakened the latent bisexuality in me, and taught me to enjoy the
pleasures of both sexes. I will always love her for it.
It was another hot sticky evening. I live in a small town of around 20,000
people...very rural driven, with lots of farms surrounding the town. I was
driving home from work, when I parked up on the lakefront to eat my
McDonalds. I'm 21 years old, am straight, slim with a nice tan. I don't
work out ever, but I look healthy.
It was late on the summer's evening...around 9pm...and as usual, there were the
"boyracers" parked up in the same car park. These guys are mostly 15 -- 18
year olds still at school. They wear all the labels, are typically jocks,
and have sexy cars which are lowered, have loud stereo's, tinted windows and
spoilers. There were around 20 cars...all with these teens boozing and doing
drugs. I was wearing my jeans and a t-shirt, and they were mostly wearing
singlets, khakis trousers, baseball caps and sunglasses. There was only one
car park -- between 1 sexy black car and a lowered wagon with tinted windows.
I sat there eating my food, but I couldn't help look at the guys next to
me. They had muscled arms, sexy tans, were mostly clean shaven, and they
were all blonde -- except for one black guy. I had a boner just looking at
them, which I was gently rubbing between by jeans. Suddenly someone yelled
out "hey look this guys a fag -- he's rubbing himself". Suddenly 4 other
teens came over to my car. The black guy grabbed my arm through the window
(which was wound down). "you fag...you want some?". I didn't know what to
say.
"get out" said one of the blonde guys, with the bluest eyes ever and a smell
of sweat and Tommy boy cologne....he appeared to be the leader...he was the
sexiest by far....well tanned, and his body well defined, but his muscles
weren't huge. I could see one of his large brown nipples peering out from
around his singlet. "get in the wagon" he said. I stepped out, and they
quickly shoved me in the back of the van. 2 jumped in the front, and the
other 3 hopped in the back with me. They all looked so boyish. Fuck I was
horny. The wagon smelled of piss and beer and grass. Also sexy cologne. I
was laying on a black matress which was COVERED in cum stains. The black
guy punched my arm...my cock got harder. "You gonna learn to fucken be a man
tonight you fucken faggot". I looked up and saw the two cutest
twinks...probably both 16, fully french kissing. They were both wearing
shorts, one had fine blonde hairs on his legs...the other had shaven legs.
The guy with the hair legs was rubbing the smooth twink, and his hand was
massaging his balls through the legs in his Khakis. The stereo was up loud
and the car was driving fast....I knew we were heading out into the country.
Suddenly the black guy removed his army trousers, and he had the biggest
blackest, juiciest cock I have EVER seen. He had trimmed pubes, and shaven
legs. "suck it bitch"....I didn't have time to argue...he slammed his meat into
my throat. I sucked on his purple head. "finger my hole you white fag". I
licked my finger, and it quickly slid into his shithole...which felt smooth
and clean. "oh yeah....fuck that hole.... Suck that fat hot cock....oh yeah".
I rubbed his smooth warm thighs with my other hand.
Suddenly the wagon skidded around a corner and into an isolated rest area
next to a farm. The car stopped, then we reversed. Then the back doors
opened, and the car was parked with the rear facing into a field...with a
black horse in it. There were tree's all around us and no other signs of
people. One of the drivers had a small video camera and was videoing me
sucking this black guys cock.
"oh fuck, oh god, oh you bitch, suck my nigger cock, oh yeah, OHHHHH"
suddenly jets of boiling hot, thick sticky cum bolted down my mouth, down my
throat and over my face. His body shuddered.....he then pushed me over on to
my back. They dragged the mattress out of the car and onto the ground. One
of the teens was out with the horse bringing him over. There was a full
moon, and the car had bright lights on the inside. The horse came over to
us...then they all removed their clothes. The other teens were blonde with
sexy firm stomachs, slight muscles, and they had sexy shaven legs. I was
in paradise. These sexy teens were all gonna fuck me hard and raw.
Then one of the boys pashed me....."ohhhh" he moaned as our tongues twisted.
Then the leader guy ripped my t-shirt off, and twisted my nipples.
"arrrrgghh" I screamed. "fuck up fag" he said, and he kicked me in my
thigh........he kept pinching and twisting....my cock was SO hard, and dripping
cum. I then stopped kissing this gorgeous twink, and turned around...and
there was the black guy sucking the horses cock with the blonde boy with the
hairy legs, sucking, licking and massaging the horses balls.
"ok mother fucker, your turn" said the leader. I knelt down under the horse
and placed my lips around the horses black long cock. I couldn't believe
what was happening. I could smell beer, and 2 of the boys were drinking
beer. The leader then unbuttoned my jeans...."oh yeah, look at that piece of
meat" he said. "Troy -- fix his cock". Troy, the young teen with the shaven
legs, leaned into the wagon and pulled out a small black bag. He placed two
clips onto my nipples...I screamed in pain, but again the leader kicked me in
the thigh....."fuck up slut....suck the cock...that's what you love faggot"....then
a cock ring was placed around my cock so I couldn't cum... and Troy went to
town, sucking on my cock. Then the leader removed my jeans, and spat spit
and snot onto my ass....he rubbed it in with a finger, then pushed his cock
deep into me. "ohhh yeah, fag.....yeah.....let me fuck your virgin ass...ohhhh".
The guy filming all this also was masterbating his cock. The black guy was
drinking beer and his cock had come back to life. And the teen with the
hairy legs started fucking Troy up the ass while he sucked me.
Then the horse started making a noise.....and then it came....huge wads of horse
cum sprayed over my face, and into my mouth. I swallowed as much as I could
but there was gallons of it. The hot cum covered me head to toe. Then the
leader came up my ass.....he wrapped his arms tightly around my neck, almost
strangling me as his firm, hard body convulsed and his cock twitched and
exploded up my ass hole. I had to cum but I couldn't. His smooth chest
rubbed up and down my cum covered back.
The horse wandered off, and Troy then started kissing my chest and eating
the horse sperm. Then another car pulled up.... guy around 18 got out. He
had long black hair, and wasn't clean shaven. He removed his shorts and
hopped over the fence and up to us. They all knew who he was. I didn't.
He removed his khakis and flopped out the longest cock I have ever seen. He
smelt of real man, and he was sexy in a dirty way. He rammed his cock in my
mouth. "sorry I'm late" he said in a deep sexy voice. Then Troy came all
over my chest. Followed by the other teen. I had sperm everywhere. The
leader scooped it up and forced me to drink it while sucking this tall guys
cock...who's name was Robert I think...from what I could here from all the loud
slurping. He fucked my mouth hard.
"suck my balls your homo" I did as I was told. His purple veins stuck out
on his huge balls. "ohhh yeah, suck my balls....put my heavy balls in your
mouth... oh yeah, oh yeah, OH YEAH" then he squirted his cum all over my face
and body... almost as much as the horses. Then the teen filming us came on
me. Then the black guy came over to me. "Open your mouth you cum slut". I
did, and he came in my mouth. "ohh fuck....yeah, yeah suck my white sperm
down your throat....ohhh man that's good". Then he stopped. But before I
could get my breath back, he moved his cock to my mouth again "now swallow
every drop or we'll fucken kill you".....my cock was pulsing with pressure.
He then pissed in my mouth. I swallowed back the golden liquid...."ohhhh" I
moaned in pleasure. Once he had finished, and I'd swallowed every drop, he
leaned over and french kissed me. His big lips felt incredible.
Troy then opened up container full of milky liquid. The leader took it off
him "he you go cum slut.....you love cum so much, then drink every drop of
this" "what is it?" is asked. "cum from a great dame's hot penis and from
a rotweilers". He tipped it into my waiting mouth, as Troy removed my cock
ring. I came instantly shooting my cum about 3 metres, hitting the sexy
twink. Who's name was Matt. "Hey Fuck man, watch it" he said. I drank the
sweet dog cum. Once it had gone, they loaded me and the cum splattered
mattress into the wagon. On the way back into town they took me on the long
trip. I continued to suck off the guys and Matt made me suck his shithole
clean after he crapped into my jeans. I licked his bubble butt clean, after
coming hard all over the back of his smooth twink thighs...which I was then
forced to clean up. They dropped me off at my car.....because Matt had shat
in my jeans I was wearing Matt's Kahkis which smelt sexy....and I still sniff
to this day. Infact, my girlfriend wonders where I got them. Just before
I left Matt pashed me again....and told me if I ever told anyone about this,
they'd "fucken kill me".
I went home and took three days off work, masterbating, eating my cum and
pissing into my mouth. I've never seen those guys again...they must've been
visiting.
My girlfriend has incredible sex with me now as I imagine my evening with
the teen twink fuck sluts.
It is indeed true that Rockbox 1.0 lacks most of the feature every sane user wants. No one said it is more feature-complete or better in any way than the original firmware at this early point.
Still, this is a proof that our effort is going in the right direction, that it works and it helps getting attention and more developers onto the project. We meant the 1.0 release to be this.
Adding the missing features is now only a matter of time. If you join up, we'll have them available even faster.
I understand your frustration with how austere the features are now. Consider what they are trying to do, however. Their idea of 1.0 is to make it work, bug free, and at least play some mp3s. That in itself is a huge accomplishment. Sure 2.0 will be the version that everyone loves. 3.0 will have everything but the kitchen sink (and perhaps vorbis). I think we should commend what an accomplishment its been just to get this far. They just baked a cake, and now its time to frost/decorate it. They just cooked roast beef, now pour on the gravy. Pick your analogy, or suggest your own.
"Reverse engineering is starting to take on a negative connotation, like "hacker" did. "
This is a good point. Most of science is 'reverse engineering' of the natural world. It'd be interesting if the scientist who supplied his own genetic material for the genome project turned around and sued the labs for reverce engineering him.

Excuse me, but why do everybody refer to the piece of sh*t law DMCA? Isn't these guys Swedish?

A bit better of a hack (loose use of a term, that) seems to be to download iriver's firmware instead, from here:
;)
http://www.iriverhk.com/English/downc.htm
This will revert a RioVolt SP-250 back to its roots by making it be an iRiver iMP-250.
IIRC, the menus are prettier, and there's a few extra options. I like the iRiver boot logo a bit better than Rio's. Also, the version number is higher -- iRiver distributes 2.2, whereas Rio is still at 2.0.
Kid-proof tablet..
I'm sure these guys will do something great with this project, but call me when they add even one of the features on that list.
:
you dont get it do you?
this is Open Source. If you have ideas and help that you can bring to the party then bring them. What peopl *don't* need is some smart alec standing there watching and saying
"what's the point, it's rubbish, you're wasting my time!!"
There are places where the networks are not touching,and there are places where they are-Boeing's Lori Gunter
This is what we call reusability for the free software (as in GPL) community, not for the others. What is the point? Ah, I see, free software cannot be reused by everybody, that aims at producing software for the consumers/public.
For everyone else, 20G is what's needed.
Its like my kids...they don't mind listening to the same music over and over, but adults like a little variety.
More importantly, the Rio v2.0 firmware is actually the iRivier v1.05 firmware. Hacking iRiver firmware is a much better solution than accepting updates from RioVolt. And it probably violates the warranty, but you should be able to downgrade the firmware should you need to bring it in for repair.

For more information on hacking the iRiver firmware so it works on your RioVolt (there is no negative effect from this, i've done it many times, they are virtually identical devices), check out this unofficial FAQ:
http://www.geocities.com/cryophil/RioVolt_FAQ.h
The mp3.com hardware boards are where I go to stay updated on this; there's not that much of substance there unless you scan the topics for firmware news and/or troubleshooting if you've got an issue.
I wish someone were working on an open source firmware upgrade for the Rio 500.
Ultimately, I would like to see all portable music devices have the ability to run open source software a la Linux. Then, we could freely build a firmware with the audio formats that we want.
... has a security product named the "Rockbox". Doh! Hopefully no naming problems will arise.

Rockbox: Didn't Al Gore start this company?
They reverse engineered a product. That's 100% legal.
What the DMCA makes illegal is reverse engineering mechanisms that either control copying or control access of copyrighted material for the sole purpose of circumventing that control.
Or if it simply has nothing to do with a copy control mechanism. Remember, reverse engineering is not illegal.
The DMCA deals with copy control mechanisms, DRM type stuff. Region coding & CSS, etc. Not software in general.
Reverse engineering softward and hardware is expressley allowed for any reason.
As for trade secret, you could be in shit for releasing trade secret information. If it's trade secret. A proprietary file format is NOT trade secret information, neither is a proprietary protocol.
Trade secret information is information they are protecting. Like the formula to Coca Cola.
But that reverse engineering for interoperability is tricky.
IF the DeCSS guys had a) reverse eingineered it and
b) produced a binary-only player
they could have claimed that it was for interoperability.
THis is one place where the DMCA is not compatable with open-source stuff.
Why would Archos would have a problem with this? They're way understaffed and the firmware is beyond them, so why not open up their own firmware source?
Has anybody talked to Archos about it?
I understand what you're trying to say, but my original understanding was v1.0 was "done". If they said, "yo check it, we got v0.1 and it works" then I would have been less angry. But I'm definitely feeling you.
There won't be any vorbis support because there isn't enough CPU power, but I'm looking forward to everything else.

> There won't be any vorbis support because there isn't enough CPU power, but I'm looking forward to everything else.
There could be Ogg support if they can figure out how to reprogram the other chips. Yes, using the CPU is impractical, but there are other ways.
Does anyone know if this will work for the Archos 5000? Also, is this the only utility that allows Archos devices to be accessed by Linux, or are there other programs out there?
Keep in mind, Archos is the same company that did the following:
Somoene writes Linux drivers. They post a link on their web site so you can download them.
Someone puts up a web site detailing how to install a larger hard drive. The site states that such activity will void the warranty. Archos offers 10 and later 20 gig devices so you can have the larger capacity without voiding the warranty.
I'd be shocked if Archos cared if people were hacking their firmware. All it does is create a developer community and expanding uses for the hardware, which they are still selling.
If you want to mod an Archos, you still need to get a hold of one, which means buying it.
This is a win-win for Archos, unless some jackasses start calling Archos demanding tech support for the Open Source Firmware. Then it becomes a nuisance.
"Live Free or Die." Don't like it? Then keep out of the USA
Their tech support tried to tell me today that when "HD ERROR" flashes on my screen it means tha my battery is low. I've only used the Jukebox 20 something times. A few days ago i was using it and there was a burning rubber smell coming from it.. I hope they replace it it cost me $300 bucks.
Does it make any sense to defrag the drive when you get a healthy bunch of mp3s on it?
