I can't find a clip zip for under £80 ($100usd)!

I take it that the clip jam is a different beast?

No rockbox on clip jam or sport.

rockbox on my xduoo x3 - when using line out, if i turn volume over a certain level, the player cuts out?  is line-out not fixed at 0db as on the stock firmware.?

You an alter the volume on the X3 with Rockbox when using the line out.

thanks,
but why cutting out...? could it be that the battery was low?

Sounds great. I can get the x3 to read the talk files for file names. It just crashes after 4 or 5 in a row. I'm guessing that the menu talk files are just absent?

 
What I learned is that  In order for the menus to be read, Rockbox needs to have a language.voice file in the .rockbox/langs/  that has a corresponding .lng file. So I had to compile the "language.voice" file.
 
For instance, during compilation of rockbox, I chose english-us as my language. When I ran "make voice" to compile the voice file, it created a file named english-us.voice.
I then copied the english-us.voice file to .rockbox/langs/  on my sd card. Powered up the X3, then chose english-us as the language from General settings. It will read all of the menu items in the base directory  of the player, but once I try to drill down, it panics.
The panic happens when either engine is used to create the voice file (Festival or or Flite engine).
 
The simulator on my desktop voices the menus fine (but the simulator is NOT an emulator, so its not exactly a 1:1 comparison)

Yeah, once your Clip+ is toast your only option is this X3. But I've dropped my sansa a whole bunch of times and it's still alive, I'm afraid the X3 might not be this resilient and I also would have to glue a clip at the back of it duh.

or you could rockbox a Xuelin ihifi770 of course

Right but it's twice pricier than the X3 I think?
 
Is there any way to make it less prone to break when falling on the floor and any available kludge to clip it?

 I'm in UK and its about the same price £69 ish. there is a (fake?) leather cover you can buy but it looks pretty ugly.

Yes, I mean safely remove as I am using windows 10 and yes I have to lock the xduoo for the laptop to properly recognize the player itself. Also, when I safely remove the xduoo it doesn't disappear from windows explorer... 

 

[dashavoo]

If it isn't disappearing from windows explorer, chances are it isn't ready to remove yet. Have you tried connecting then clicking safely remove without actually adding any files? Does it disappear from windows explorer or not?
 
The easiest way to add files is to add them straight to the SD card if you have an SD card reader on your computer.

 

[oorangesodaa]

I shall try and move files across just on the sd card via a card reader and get back to you. Thanks for your help so far.

Believe it or not I never tried Rockbox on my X3 yet, only stock firmware.
you can install/load it from a 32gb card right?
i think i saw some people who install it on both their cards so it always boots no matter what?

 

[deadhead12]

Update: I figured it out!!!  Instead of naming the folder update.zip, I renamed it to just update (and left it zipped) and it worked.  I figured it out after downloading the x3-v1.1 file and noticing that the update file was just named 'update.'  Phew, now to figure out how to partition/reformat my 128gig sd card. Gapless playback here I come!

Ah, just wondering if anybody has used the rockbox midi module, and what needs compilation if so. That was a major selling point for me for rockbox in the past and i'd love to load up some giant midi folders and let them play. @XVortex do you know if all is ok to use midi plugin? https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginMidiPlay
