Does rockbok give a better sound than apple firmware , or it's just to use FLAC and other formats ?

I hate iTunes, that's why I use RockBox - directory structure and Flac support.

I have try Rockbox and flac.
not noticed a big difference in files size bw ALAC and Flac..
And more files are "compressed", less battery life.
So for the instance, i haven't enough information to make a choice.
Ok for the files structure, it's better with rockbox, but taged time is quite long and not always complet ( compare with apple firmware )
Rockbox is great for adapted sound (balance, bas and treeble) with some headphones too.
If someone can give more information to make a choice expeted the format files abilities.
thank you.

Aint it a B1tch!?!
I had to recompile Rockbox so my Mini would work right with a CF card. Thanks for sharing your work. I might just pop one of those drives into my Video. Would be great for long road trips. I hardly use it now since I have a 32GB Mini
In regards to, "why Rockbox?"
It's mostly a format issue. My music library is in FLAC. I briefly tried to convert it all to ALAC and use iTunes and the original iPod OS, but it was too much hassle. There are some things the iPod OS does better like battery management and waking from sleep, but that's about it. Once you get used to Rockbox's UI, I think it's easier then the iPod OS. Of course, all I want to do is browse to a folder and play the music. If you want to do other things with your music player, the Apple OS is probably better.
The final reason that made me switch back from ALAC to FLAC was iTunes. I am a Windows user, and iTunes on Windows sucks. bad. real bad. really really bad. Hopefully my feelings are clear
iTunes would completely peg out a CPU when downloading a podcast or something. A simple download? Are you kidding me? To me, that is unacceptable, so I ditched the ALACs and haven't looked back.
The only feature/functionality I miss relates to podcasts. If I listened to a podcast on the iPod, then synced it to the PC and wanted to finish listening on the PC, it would pickup where I left off. That IS pretty slick, but not worth all the other annoyances. Rockbox > iPod OS

Thank you for your answer.
I 'm in the same felling concerning windows and Itunes...
Not great integration for sure LOL, and the fact that it's 9.0 / 9.1 / etc too much maj for what ?

This is a really late announcement, but I'm going to be moving my webpage to my university-allotted web space. It's the smartest move for me now, so I'm going to be taking my sweet precious time to get that all moved over. I'll keep everyone posted.
The website has been moved. Please see:
http://www.ualberta.ca/~jple/
It's exactly the same as before. Woo! That was painless.

Joneeboi you might want to put that new link on your first post. Until I saw this I thought the old site had just disappeared. Glad to see it is still up-- I'm about to try modding some old iPods that need new batteries-- as long as I'm in there anyway.
[Sorry, when I clicked the link the other night it took me to a "no such site" message. Tonight it works!]
