=== What is Rockbox? ===

Rockbox is third-party, open source firmware for portable MP3 players.
 It replaces the OEM firmware on MP3 players from Apple, SanDisk, and
various others.  It adds features and efficiency while unlocking the
full potential of your portable device.  No longer will you have to
run a propriatary music management application, or put up with an
OEM's bugs, DRM, or music-store tie-ins.  Written from scratch, for
users, by users, to be easy and pleasurable to use.  It sometimes even
improves audio quality.  Add-ons enable things like a voice UI, menu
and screen customization, applications, utilities, and games.

Features include: MP3, OGG, FLAC codec support.  Gapless playback and
cross-fading.  5-band qualizier.  Volume normalization.  Cuesheets and
album art.  JPEG, MPEG, and text viewing.  Unicode.  Tags.  Advanced
playlist editor.
