Thinking for a moment "out of the box" I would ask if the "codecs" or
whatever is needed to play the old RP-3.0 files in RP-10 are
available. Can RP-10 be fitted to play older "legacy" files. RP8
does play these files. Maybe insted of trying to host two versions of
the player, RP10 could be fitted to play these legacy files. Anybody
know if this is possible??
