I've had my 4g iPod forever, and as much as I love it a lot of things on it had been bugging me so I was in the market for a new mp3 player...UNTIL I discovered the Rockbox which seemed to fix everything I had qualms about.
However, now that I've had it installed for a few weeks there are a number of things on it that are bugging me and possibly making the 4g iPod even worse than before. I've read the help manual, searched, etc but cant find solutions to the following, any ideas??
1. I keep getting these random "data abort" errors in the middle of various songs, never had this problem with same songs on apple software (Even tried reloading all the songs, still happens on random songs from time to time)
2. randomly freezes...one time it was so bad I couldnt restart it no matter what I did (and the backlight stayed on, draining batter). Had to plug it into my computer when I got home to fix the solution. Totally ruined my 2hr train ride
3. is there any way to have the user interface a bit easier to navigate, like Apple's software? I frequently press the wrong buttons, etc even after weeks of using this thing
4. for some reason my playlists won't save no matter how many times I hit "save current playlist"...what am I doing wrong?
5. annoying pauses between songs once in a while (not always)...isnt this supposed to be gapless??
for the record, I have the latest (as of 3 weeks ago) rockbox installed
If I cant get these problems solved I may have to resort back to apple's software since i'm traveling abroad in a few days and cant afford to have a non working Rockbox.
Thanks for the help fellas!
