I used to use it for bookmarking mp3 audiobooks. But it was so cumbersome to use and not attractive to look at.....that my wife (who uses it the most now that I have an iPhone) wanted me to take Rockbox off and stick with the original firmware. I wish they could keep the same interface/os/gui in place and just add features to it...like bookmarking and crossfading, etc. And the use of non-embedded album art for the Sansa OF and the Rockbox Firmware still gets me steamed. Why can't Sansa and/or Rockbox figure out how to use embedded album art. Or why can Windows Media player do a better job of exporting album art to the Sansa? Sorry end of Rant. I like Rockbox, but it seems too 1995. I want a slicker/Web2.0 style UI with my mp3 player. I messed around with Rockbox on my old Sansa… I used to use it for bookmarking mp3 audiobooks.
