In this, the Year of Our Apocalypse 2026, Rockbox still cannot display EXIF album art if it is a progressive JPEG of *any* minuscule size or resolution.

I can't even.

Also, while you can finally have a playlist with up to 32,000 songs, "shuffle all tracks" is still hardcoded to 2,000.

I'm starting to think that their heart just isn't in this any more.

@jwz the very first hdd mp3 player I owned, in random mode, played the same 256 songs in the same sequence. Not even pseudorandom.

Well I know @bagder is busy cURLing these days, so maybe yeah...

@steinarb yeah, I left active Rockbox development a long time ago: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2014/10/01/good-bye-rockbox/

@bagder@mastodon.social @steinarb@mastodon.social Wait you were also a Rockbox developer??? Been using it on my iPod clone for about a month, it's really cool, thanks for whatever contributions you made!

@cody @steinarb I was one of the co-founders of the Rockbox project, yeps. Together with @bjst and Linus.
