cannot do. View it as the opposite of a TODO!

-\item Record to WAV (uncompressed) or MP3pro format.\\
-The recording hardware (the MAS) does not allow us to do this
-\item Crossfade between tracks.\\
- Crossfading would require two mp3 decoders, and we only have one.
- This is not possible.
-\item Support MP3pro, WMA or other sound format playback.\\
- The mp3{}-decoding hardware can only play MP3. We cannot make it play other
- sound formats.
-\item Converting OGG $\rightarrow$ MP3.\\
- The mp3{}-decoding hardware cannot decode OGG. It can be reprogrammed, but
- there is too little memory for OGG and we have no documentation on how to
- program the MAS' DSP. Doing the conversion with the CPU is impossible, since
- a 12~MHz SH1 is far too slow for this daunting task.
-\item Archos Multimedia support.\\
- The Archos Multimedia is a completely different beast. It is an entirely
- different architecture, different CPU and upgrading the software is done
- a completely different way. We do not wish to venture into this. Others
- may do so. We will not.
-\item Multi{}-band (or graphic) equaliser.\\
- We cannot access information for that kind of visualisation from the MP3
- decoding hardware.
-\item CBR recording.\\
- The MP3 encoding hardware does not allow this.
-\item Change tempo of a song without changing pitch.\\
- The MP3 decoding hardware does not allow this.
-\item Graphic frequency (spectrum analyser).\\
- We cannot access the audio waveform from the MP3 decoder so we cannot analyse
- it. Even if we had access to it, the CPU would probably be too slow to
- perform the analysis anyway.
-\item Cool sound effects.\\
- Adding new sound effects requires reprogramming the MAS chip, and we cannot
- do that. The MAS chip is programmable, but we have no access to the chip
- documentation.

the first one is FAT32 and then make the other ones whatever file system
you want. Just do not expect Rockbox to understand them.
