The good people from Rockbox have finally got their alternative firmware project running on the Cowon iAudio X5. The firmware, although not finalized yet, ads support for a whole bunch of features, such as a crossfader, huge codec support, a parametric EQ, ID3 tag browsing and of course games!

The iAudiophile community has already jumped on this firmware and have started creating a bunch of custom WPS (skins/themes) and feedback has been extremely positive. Here are some pictures of the player running Rockbox:




It has only been a few days since Rockbox has been playing sound on the X5, so there are still a lot of things to be taken care of. A "final" release with complete X5 support is planned for November, but this should not stop you from giving this excellent software a go. An install guide can be found here.
