inanedirkMy new mp3 player arrived today. It's rather smaller than I expected, and I might end up not using the silicone case I bought for it, since it's kinda uncomfortable in my opinion.
Anyway, I had some trouble getting it to hook up to the PC. Dunno if that was Windows' fault, or the player's. Anyway, works fine now, and while recharging I transfered some songs to it, and also the Rockbox software, which replaces the original player firmware.
Rockbox doesn't look very nice at first, but it's very customisable, and I quickly found a custom theme I installed, so now it does look nice. I got lost in its menus at first too, since there's just too much you can do with it. Anyway, it plays music just fine, sounds very nice too. It can also use the mic to record, access the fm tuner, playback video, display pictures and text files. And it comes with several games, apps and demos. You can even play Doom on it. o:
Very, very cool indeed. I'll give the last.fm log a try in a bit. And possibly think about what else to upload to it. It's got 8GB, and if I ever need even more than that, I can just buy a 2GB micro-CD card to add to it ... (:
My shoes arrived as well btw. Yay, shoes! Need to clean them later. And by that, I mean polishing them. They're kinda not really dirty right now ... d:
