Anyone used this? It looks pretty sexy. I think I'm gonna give it a shot on my 5.5G iPod.

There are a ton of skins already, looks like a nice replacement for the plan old Apple shiz.

Anyone who can port Doom to an mp3 player has my interest.

something tells me that using that would decrease my battery life significantly over the current set up

no thx

On most players Rockbox is supposed to increase battery life.

i used rockbox on my Sandisk Sansa e200

Does rockbox allow one to sidestep itunes in transferring music from computer to ipod?

^ i like it better than itunes

i wish they'd hurry up and finish rockbox for the zune (aka, toshiba gigabeat S)

I'm gonna get more down and dirty with this ipod once my finals are over friday morning.

12/12/2007 3:24:05 PM

anapod works GREAT... I highly recommend it

man i love the zune interface, i can't imagine wanting to change it, and with firmware 2.2 and wireless syncing, customizable background, it works just fine as is.

I used rockbox back when I sported an Archos MP3 player. It was a box. And it rocked.

^^ don't get me wrong, i like it, too...but i don't care for the zune software (i've yet to find software that organizes my music like i want it to), and i don't like that i can't put my own playlists on there...additionally, i don't see the point in using wifi if you can't DO anything with it...why not use bluetooth and save battery life?

A long list of iPod tools. Some are iTunes alts, others are not strictly.
