An 11 years old Creative Zen (one year younger than my Z61t and X60) was liberated by Rockbox.
Briefly, only a few steps were performed:
1, Enter the recovery mode by plugging the reset hole;
2, Connect to computer to transfer the boot loader;
3, Plug the reset hole again when transfer complete;
4, Format the internal storage using FAT32;
5, Extract Rockbox package to the internal storage.
See rockbox.org for a list of supported player models.
what's a hardware player?
nadebula.1984 refers to digital music (or podcast) players.
Most people refer to them as "MP3 players". But I always avoid using this term, since MP3 is patent encumbered.
I therefore use "hardware" to differentiate them from their "software" counterparts.
For instance, if someone borrows a calculator from me, I always reply: Do you want a software calculator or a hardware calculator? If you want a software one, try to find such a one in your operating system's accessories. If you want a hardware one, take this...
I understand :) I also like to try to more specific about what words I use after I got into free software.
But what about simply "music player"? I know it's not so hardware/software specific... maybe what about.. "Digital Music player console"? haha a bit long maybe, one can use only the first letters (abbreviate or something) so... DMPC ? :)
I'm just shooting recommendations for a replacement for mp3 player here :)
Anybody know why Rockbox is not listed in FSF's list of OSes?
