"If you want to set your music free, this is for you."
Pros: - Handles many more audio formats than standard firmware, especially in the case of iPods.
- Customization is nearly unlimited.
- Excellent community support for a free, open-source product.
- The functionality of a tank at no cost to you.Cons: - A sharp learning curve, and a few occasional issues/bugs. These are not really a major problem for music lovers.
- Otherwise I can find no obvious faults with this firmware.
