Good, but not good enoughGood, but not good enoughPosted Apr 17, 2006 9:30 UTC (Mon) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: Improve your iPod with Rockbox (NewsForge) by dreadnought Parent article: Improve your iPod with Rockbox (NewsForge) I see on the Samsung product page that it supports ogg alright. However, there are some limitations which might become irritating. The voice recorder only seems to record to MP3. Well, it could be useful as a portable recorder if it recorded without compression; sound quality is probably not very good, but the line-in connection could be used with a good preamp and a mike. I'm looking for a replacement for my minidisc, which is awful, but everything I find is overpriced or lousy. Maybe free firmware could turn this device into a good solution. Also, on the Australian product page (?) it says: "Record straight from FM Radio *", the small print reads "*(subject to copyright restrictions)". Which restrictions? I would guess some kind of broadcast flag. But the same note appears in "Record straight from CD or other external source - no PC required *". Since copyright is established by law and laws are interpreted and applied by courts and judges, I would prefer if my MP3 player would abstain from enforcing it; free firmware could come in handy.
