semisight: Agreed, I could never hear a difference either
Does anybody find that the stereo width parameter has no discernible effect on the clip+? I can't hear any difference through any of my 'phones.
I just downloaded the latest build but I still get the problem where sometimes my Clip+ will not switch on and I have to press the power button for 20 seconds to get it switched back on.

Sounds like it may be a bootloader issue rather than the rockbox revisions. Did you create your own patched firmware/bootloader? If so, which OF version did you use?
I used the following:
Sansa Clip+ Firmware Update 01.02.09 patched w/ mkamsboot & bootloader as found on http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMS
Rockbox r25972
So far, no crashes, freezes, or any hiccups. Booting is for the most part instantaneous.
is the sound quality improved with rockbox?
There is one noticable difference: Rockbox has some noises, interference, when you start up, while OF is dead silent. The Rockbox noise disappears or is reduced after a while, and is difficult to hear when there is music. Rockbox has of course a lot of sound enhancing features that OF doesn't have, like a better EQ and crossfeed. The version I have is stable, it hasn't crashed on me yet. It is from May 10th. I guess newer versions a stable as well.
Weird, I don't get that noise and I'm listening through JH-13's. I'm on R25894
