+<ni caption="PMPlib Forum is reopened" date="2007-01-05">
+<p>
+I set up <a href="http://nyaochi.sakura.ne.jp/pmplib/">PMPlib Forum</a> at my private server since I could not install the forum in the sf.net server due to the tight security.
+Let us share the information about PMPlib and portable media players in the forum.
+I apologize those who posted messages at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=157298">the forum in sourceforge.net</a>.
+I didn't reply to some messages.
+</p>
+<p>
+The forum also takes over <a href="http://easyh10.sourceforge.net/forum/">EasyH10 Forum</a>.
+You can the same user name and password if you have an account for the EasyH10 Forum.

+<ni caption="PMPlib (EasyPMP) version 0.13 released" date="2007-01-05">
+<p>
+After the short break of the project (mostly because Nyaochi was busy), we are pleased to announce PMPlib 0.13.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>[Common] <b>New database reader/writer for iriver E10 (pmp_iriverplus3)</b>. This is based on <a href="http://nyaochi.sakura.ne.jp/pmplib/index.php?topic=197.0">the reverse engineering effort</a> done by Nyaochi with the help of hullbr3ach. Playlist conversion for iriver E10 <b>is not implemented</b> yet due to some implementation problems (we need to revise the core API). The playlist conversion is planned in the next release.</li>
+<li>[CUI] Fit long progress reports in a line (done by Sucknblow).</li>
+<li>[Win32] Changed the Win32 compiler to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. If you got an error message reporting missing runtime DLLs, please install <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyid=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee">Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)</a>.</li>
+<li>[Web] Launch the new PMPlib forum.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+The database format of iriver E10 was completely new to us.
+It is totally different from the 1st (H100/H300), 2nd (H10), and 3rd (H10Jr/U10) generation of media database employed in iriver players.
+The 4th generation database consists of multiple binary search trees (probably AVL trees) so that the player can implement various navigation paths (e.g., Artist-&gt;Album-&gt;TrackNumber, Title, Genre-&gt;Album-&gt;TrackNumber, etc) efficiently.
+A node in a binary search tree stores: the node value (BYTE, WORD, DWORD, or UCS-2 string); a linear-linked list pointing to records; and links to left and right children.
+</p>
+<p>
+Although the database reader/writer worked fine on my experiments, there might be some problems as it is not based on a specification but the analysis.
+Should you have a problem with a database generated by this program, please report the problem in the forum.
+You can recover from the error with iriver plus 2 or 3 in the following steps.
+</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Delete three database files in your player, "/path-to-e10/System/db.dat", "/path-to-e10/System/db.dic", "/path-to-e10/System/db.idx". You need to enter the folder name (e.g., "E:\System") directly to the address bar of Explorer since the folder is hidden.</li>
+<li>Delete local database files of iriver plus 2 or 3, "/path-to-iriverplus/plus2_0.db" and "/path-to-iriverplus/plus2_0.bak", e.g., "C:\Program Files\iriver\iriver plus 3\plus2_0.db" and "C:\Program Files\iriver\iriver plus 3\plus2_0.bak".</li>
+<li>Run iriver plus 2 or 3. This will rebuild the database automatically. If not, choose the menu item, "Tools"-&gt;"Portable Device"-&gt;"Database Update".</li>
+</ol>
+<p>
+Enjoy your music life with E10 and EasyPMP!
