Unix Rio Utility News

The current CVS version of rioutil (1.6.0) has been updated with preliminary support for the Rio Nitrus. Upload/download work for the most part.

Known issues:
- Delete does not work properly with the Nitrus.
- Downloads from the Nitrus are extremely slow.
- A limited number of songs can be uploaded at the moment.

The current CVS version of rioutil supports the Riot. Upload, Delete, and List all work. It also has experimental support for the new Fuse, Chiba, and Cali players.

Download support may follow shortly :).

With the release of version 1.3a rioutil now has experimental support for the S-Series of Rio MP3 players!

I think I may have finally squashed the last of the bugs that I hvae found and I need to know if anyone notices any rioutil related problems in the latest release.

Hi everyone, I thought i would post some news on the progress of rioutil...

Ok, I have been on and off sourceforge and looking at your comments. I haven't had much time to do amy coding in the past week or two :/ and I can't promice an update for at least two or so weeks. I will say that the next release will probably be a 1.0 release since most of the bugs seem to be gone from my latest builds (except for one vey pesky one).... read more

Rioutil now works with:
- kernel level drivers (linux and bsd)
- MacOS X
- linux usbdevfs
- libusb

After a few days of hacking I have completed both the OS X driver and support for linux usbdevfs. I should have 0.4 online after the holiday.

So far I have been able to pass control messages using my powerbook with 10.0.4, once I have figured out bulk messages 0.4 will be ready for release.

I am hard at work on the code for rioutil. Expect the following enhancements for v0.4....
- Macos X support
- Linux usbdevfs support
