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.

Mine works..  did you select "custom"  in the "channel configuration"   It won't work if you didn't

 

[rawrster]

Yeah you need to select custom to hear the difference.
 
Rockbox seems to work nicely. I edited a bunch of tags and will do the rest eventually so that should take care of the chinese font. I do wish there was like a 8 or 10 pt unifont somewhere however. The Clip+ also hisses less than my crappy e260 so it should work much better. I doubt I can get a better deal than $40 for a 8gb clip+

Well, I've the latest build on my V2 - lovely. I am not a stock Sansa fan at all, but the Clip with its lower hiss than the Fuze is just great.

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.

I tried some of the lastest builds, and I noticed that since it's writable a lower volume than other old builds. Am I or anyone noticed too??

 No, I didn't created my own bootloader and patched firmware. I downloaded the bootloader from the AnythingButIpod forum and the Rockbox build from the Rockbox site. I also installed the latest Sansa Clip+ firmware. I then dragged those files into the root of my Sansa Clip+ folder.
 
I have now installed the new version of the bootloader today and so far the problem seems to have disappeared.

is the sound quality improved with rockbox?

 

[semisight]

Improved? I don't know. Certainly the amp chip used in the clip doesn't change at all. I don't know the details of the audio driver implementation for the OF, but I'm sure the rockbox implementation doesn't cut any corners. At the very least, rockbox is loaded with options which will enhance your enjoyment of the music.

 

[BaboonGuy]

No clue but I think it did get rid of that Pitch Bug that Sansa so far refuses to fix.

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

I just upgraded to todays version, and also installed the latest bootloader. The noise is still there when I start, but it soon disappear. So I don't consider it a problem. The new bootloader is supposed to give a better battery life. I haven't noticed other problems yet, so all is well.
