Title: Rokbox now supports Monkey Audio!
Post by: thomaspf on June 23, 2007, 08:33:26 pm

I went to the rockbox site yesterday and to my great pleasure I saw that Rocbox now supports Monkey audio files. I started my library in Monkey and have stayed with it ever since.

At this point the implementation is pretty slow and could use some additonal tuning help to run the higher compression levels in faster than real time.

Title: Monkey needs some tuning in Rockbox on Iriver.

I installed the latest build on my Iriver H120 today and the tracks in my library compressed at level "High" do not play in real time. However it's not missing much.

Matt or anyone else with the appropriate programming skills want to have a look and optimize the code? Ideally the optimizations can be made on the C code base so the decoder gets faster on all targets but I settle for 68000 assembler tweaks on the Iriver :-)

I told them they could feel free to use any of the Monkey's Audio code if it helped optimization.

Also, you can use the Monkey's Audio tool to easily convert from one compression level to another if you have a slower device.

Easiest would be not to require transcoding, so I am hoping for some code optimizations.

In any case I am glad they included it.
