Just a few updates. My site is now having all the mail sent to Gmail instead of my host, since it seems easier to keep track of it all. Unfortunately, this results in a slight problem - the svn updates won't be recorded, meaning that auto updates will be broken for a few days while I figure out a way to get around the issue. I'll manually update the build around 10:00 AM EST each day, around 4:00 PM EST, and around 10:00 PM EST. I can't say for sure how close it will be to those times, but I'll try to keep it updated at least two or three times a day.
In addition, one of my other domains, nuclearscripting.com, expires next month - March 18. Since I don't need it, and nothing's really been done to it, I plan to let it expire. The major impact that this will have is all the links from there will stop working on that day. I haven't look recently, but I believe the main things that are there are just copies of the OF, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, within the next few days I plan to move all the needed files over to this site, take nuclearscripting.com down, and replace it with a message that the site will stop working on March 18. The message will include a link to the file on this site, so hopefully it won't cause many problems.
As I mentioned a few days ago, I managed to kill my Sennheiser CX300 by having it plugged into my computer and accidentally having one of the earbuds laying near my pocket - went to get up, ripped the wire. Luckily, the other earbud still works, but it doesn't sound nearly as good. A few people have recommended replacement IEMs, and depending on what Sennheiser says about repairing them, I might take a look at some of the replacements.
Patches. There's quite a few patches that I need to update, which I plan to do either tonight or tomorrow. There's a possible patch I might add to turn off the WPS after the backlight turns off. Back when the reduce power consumption patch was being tested, battery power lasted up to 15% longer when not in the WPS.
Personalized builds are getting there I suppose, but as I said before, I'll mainly only be working on them when I get a chance. Users who donate will have higher priority, but even so, it may take a day or so before I get the build working. If anyone has any patches they'd like added to the form (or any other suggestions) feel free to let me know.
I think that covers everything for the moment

Sorry for delays - apparently I'm not getting emails on comments again.
I'm still debating on whether to add Rockbox USB, since one bug could cause the entire filesystem to be hosed, causing users to lose all their data. It seems to be rather stable though, so I'm not quite sure.
A critical bug was fixed Friday that had caused the logic that makes transfers safe to be disabled when the hold button was pressed upon inserting the cable (charge only).
When I tested USB v23 (now integration v1, which I suppose would be USB v24) I had speeds that were apparently around 2.5MB/s, but only ~1MB/s is claimed. Speeds are somewhere around here.
Also, there is a build on the site with the USB patch, but I'm not planning to release the link yet. It's only the USB patch though, nothing else.

I've been using your build for a while now. Big fan =D Thanks for all your hard work eh?
I remember the only thing I liked about the factory firmware was that it seemed to boost music volume. I remember trying adjust the volume down because I was in class and I surprised to find it would only become quiet when the volume bar was almost near '0'.
Maybe you could find someway to add this perk back in. As an option probably, so most users could choose whether they want this 'volume boost' active. Personally, I don't need it that much, but I listen to music when I shower xD I bring a spare pair of desktop speakers that are pretty weak and I can barely hear the music over the water xD So yeah. Just a request =D
Oh and I have around 350+ songs on my Sansa and it seems to lag a bit when I want to view my entire list of songs, or even press 'next' to skip to the next track. I'm guessing this is because the Sansa's processor is weak or something (correct me if I'm wrong). But what are your thoughts on improving the processor's performance?
Again. Thanks for all your hard work.

I have more than 1000 song on mine, and there's only lag when I skip more than 5 song in a row
