It’s Java so all you need is the Java runtime. Databases that are created by this also load quicker than those made by the software that comes with the iRiver.
As far as flashing to other firmware goes, it depends on what you want. The US versions has altered hardware from the international version (afaik) so USBOTG might not work even if you do flash. You will also lose the ability to transfer DRM files and the clock display. There are some who say that USBOTG works when you have the cable from the international version. Personally I’ve flashed to the Korean firmware for the novelty of being able to play videos and also display images of a larger filesize than the US firmware supports.
Check out this site for a discussion on this and everything else iRiver related http://www.misticriver.net/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=83
And now I have my brand new iRiver working on my desktop Debian box too (yay). For the last 4 days I’ve had to use the copy of XP (ugh) on my laptop to copy anything to it!

m3u playlist error
Your not bugging me, if something we write saves someone some time then thats good.

i’m all sorted, i’ll stop bugging you now… thanks agian!

I have the player mounted at /mnt/iriver the root of my files is /mnt/iriver/albums. the playlists are here and they contain paths relative to here. example:
$ pwd
/mnt/iriver/albums
$ ls -al |grep judge
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 32768 Dec 26 14:36 judge_roughneck
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Dec 26 14:36 judge_roughneck-true.m3u
$ cat judge_roughneck-true.m3u
judge_roughneck/true/01-just_be_there.ogg
judge_roughneck/true/02-peace_of_mind.ogg
judge_roughneck/true/03-true.ogg
judge_roughneck/true/04-desire.ogg
$ cat judge_roughneck-true.m3u |xargs ls -al
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6010131 Dec 26 14:36 judge_roughneck/true/01-just_be_there.ogg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4629647 Dec 26 14:36 judge_roughneck/true/02-peace_of_mind.ogg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9134591 Dec 26 14:36 judge_roughneck/true/03-true.ogg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6873044 Dec 26 14:36 judge_roughneck/true/04-desire.ogg
so, you can see that the paths are all relative and valid. any idea why id doesnt like these lists?
thanks.

Only use the American firmware. The American H320 has some slight hardware changes which means that USBTG will never work on the American one. The firmware has been written to accomodate these changes the other firmware would probably crash the player.

i just got one of these things as a gift.
ogg usb mass storage support is probably enough to keep me from returning it in favor of the apple device. however, i was wondering if you have had any luck with the H300 device’s database. my files have the proper id3 tags, but they do not get included in the database. so i can’t browse by genre, artist, etc. it worked for my dad using the included win32 software, but obviously, that’s not what we’re after…
also, i can probably live without usbtg. but what are your thoughts on flashing in the asian or european firmware?
thanks!
