Topic: iriver h1xx rockbox recording menu added

[Weazel]

pretty cool this battery life while recording huh? you can tape a whole festival with this device.
Whataboutbob yes it autosplits in 2 gig files, but when you have no more power the player shuts down and you get a 0 byte as last file.
that can be restored with chkdsk /f driveletter:  probably will be fixxed in later versions of rockbox.

i'm going to believe this is or is going to be the best budget recording device

[Weazel]

sounds cool, i am looking for mp3 player and recorder for a while. i was wondering, can you put some pics online from what the levels look like?

besides rockbox uses custom wps (window playing screen) and the same is now for the recording screen. you can make your own design or download the ones other people made. so you can have it as you want it.

I'm hoping there's going to be a recording specific .rwps.  Has this been confirmed anywhere?

[Weazel]

just saw something added on the rockbox page rwps. dunno what it is.
but i saw allready something in rockbox that you can choose a recording screen.

Could Rockbox write a firmware for the MT 24/96 while they're at it?

Where'd you see that?

I'm also curious to see 20bit optical implemented.

However I'm not sure that the extra 4 bits will make any difference thru my ad20, as apparently its not truly 20bits. *shrugs*

general  settings - display  - browse .rwps files

[whatboutbob]

ah. ok. that's just the standard remote wps...i guess i'm after a rrwps (recording remote while playing screen).

2200mAh battery test is done.  It worked out to:

14h 57m 12s

My prediction was pretty close.

Total file size (5 files) is about 8.8gig.

kuba: your repair tool came in handy for the last file. thanks.

[Weazel]

ah i didn't know.

pretty amazing battery life. 15  hours damn!

i bet recording goes now on a lower cpu frequency then the original firmware, and the HD acces time is less.

Very nice.  I have a  H140, i definitely plan on installing the latest rockbox on it tonight.

14h 57m 12s

uh .. eh ....

is this all analog in or optical?

Anyone with the answer 

[Sanjay]

I am going to probably purchase one and try it out, I am growing tired of stealthing the jb3.

Questions:

Mac compatability - Does it exist?  If I have to load the firmware from a PC computer that is fine, but will I be able to transfer to a mac and use it on a mac regularly since i don't own a PC?

Batteries:  what does this thing take?  AA's

Remote: I see it has a remote, thats cool, can you start and stop the recording via the remote, and do you have to have the bbox plugged into the box for that. 

Mic in: Does it output 5v for a mic in, i might toy with getting some DPA's to run with this.

Line in/Digi in: right now i'm planning on running line in, how is the A/D compared to the jb3?  Can I run coax or optical in with no noticable clicks or pops?

Thanks for any help.

The device is a mass usb storage device, no software required to dump files onto and off of it.  When i purchased mine, i just charged it up, turned it on and plugged in the usb cable and it was recognized by windows.  I imagine it should work just fine with a mac and usb too...but i wonder if anyone here has used it with a mac.

Batteries:  It's an internal battery just like the iPod.

By the way, this device is no longer in production.  I purchased mine new and man it cost a bundle but my rio karma looked like it was on its way out and i'm not a fan of the iPod sound, so i went with this unit instead.  I found mine on ebay btw.

Best of luck in finding one in good condition.  Be aware that the battery life on a used one may be down to less than half of its full charge, my friend has a H120 and he only gets a few hrs out of it nowadays and he picked his up 2 1/2 years ago.
