Hey, I'm all for hacking an interface, but if you're going to hack at least improve it. All you're gaining here is the ability to play a few additional formats...great if your music is already encoded in those formats but not at the sacrifice of the slickest, most user-friendly jukebox interface in the world; one of the main reasons the iPod owns such a large percentage of the MP3 player market. Sure it has its idiosyncrasies, but I hit them 1% of the time while I'm listening to and navigating through my music collection, whereas I'd hit the idiosyncrasies of the Rockbox interface more like 80% of the time.
One more reason why Apple has 85% of the MP3 player market and so many other players struggle to grab a share of the other 15%...nobody understands the importance of the interface.
