What/Where is this ‘Bin file that needs to be downloaded manually by me for legal reasons’ in order for me to download Rockboxes Bootloader which is the first step in downloading Rockboxes utility?
Thanks
Iceman
The 1st (or top) post on the page you just posted on, entitled:
Sansa Clip+ Firmware Update 01.02.15
Download the .zip file, extract (expand) it and you’ll find the .bin file.
Thanks Tapeworm but I did as you said and I see no change in format. I chose a theme and fonts and I see no difference.
Says I have the right version etc…
Thanks for the help anyway but if it takes all this effort it can’t be worth it.
Ciao.

You’re so wrong. Perhaps you should consider reading the manual?
I may be wrong, but in this day and age I would expect the program to open up and install effortlessly without having to be of a ‘techie’ mindset. I think it’s Rockbox / SanDisk who should make it more consumer friendly.
_I went to open the clip+ files this morning and didn’t even find the 2 files (Bin) that I dragged and dropped yesterday. Yoo much reading, figuring…bullbleep . SanDisc should just team up with Rockbox if it’s so great. Thanks just the same._

Well yes, you have to actually install the software before you’ll see a difference. Just downloading themes to your player and never using them doesn’t help much 
Read the manual previously, blah, blah, blah.
What are you? Company guys?
I know SabDisk and Rockbox are 2 seperate entities.
I’m saying that if Rockbox is so friggin’ great, why wouldn’t SanDisk want to incorporate such a great third party program or develop a similar one on their own?
It works fine without Rockbox as I don’t play games, don’t need it to talk to me with its voice program, etc…
Sounds like you’re on the company payroll to me.
Let it be.

Because 99.99% of their customers don’t know what a parametric EQ is, don’t care about gapless playback or additional audio formats, and don’t need firmware updates. Sandisk sells ultralow cost MP3 players to people who aren’t very good with computers. Why would they want to go through the cost and effort of officially supporting a more advanced firmware if most of their customers would neither want nor use its additional features?
