Right, I now have a 5G 60GB (64MB RAM) iPod Video. I've paired this up with a 1TB 840 EVO and successfully installed Rockbox. I removed the SSD from the iPod, plugged it into my PC and transferred 920GB (114,537 tracks) worth of songs. I left Rockbox to scan the database, and then it asked me to...

That does make more sense. Hmmm, maybe I should look at getting a 60GB 5th Gen? Will the partition on the SSD be accessible via PC?

  Could you tell me how many tracks you have on your 1TB iPod? Was using a 7.5G classic. Now onto the 5.5G (80GB). A bit better, but Rockbox has frozen after copying 30,000 tracks. I can dualboot, but Rockbox stays stuck on the splash screen.

Yes.

Well, I managed to copy 55,000/110,000 tracks over to my 1TB 7.5G iPod Classic (stock OS) and now it shows a red cross (even after putting the SSD into PC). Looks the firmware can't handle this amount tracks?   Will try rockbox.

OK. I'm using the SSD with a 5.5G iPod. I've successfully installed Rockbox, and now I wish to plug the SSD into my motherboard. When I do this it says the SSD requires formatting, however when plugging in the iPod, 930GB FAT32 appears in My Computer. How do I get the partition to be detected...

I can't install emCore at all. Just keeps freezing at the 'formatting' screen (left to format for 10hrs+).

Unfortunately not. Stuck on a 'formatting' screen. Perhaps it's incompatible with the SSD (Samsung 840 EVO)? When syncing with iTunes, it'll randomly freeze, and I have to eject it, causing it to restart and show up a red cross. The only way to fix it is to plug the SSD into my PC.

Still no luck with the 7G. Going to try a 5.5G

Having no luck with emCore, so I can't get Rockbox running atm.

I'm going to give syncing on stock OS another try. Syncing in batches of 4000 tracks.   I have a library >100,000 tracks (around 904GB).

  I know on the 5th gen it's prone to a bootloop and then says 'very low battery'. Without opening it, it's a real bitch getting it to boot into the menus.

It's about 10 hours and it's still on the formatting screen. I haven't been able to see if Rockbox works. I can't remember what was on Beyondwind's website. Was there any information regarding emcore?   I tried using stock iPod OS; whilst syncing with itunes it freezes randomly. Once at track...

Thank you! However, is the emCore build the same? Or is that also patched? I'm now trying a different build (r859) and it's remained static for about 10mins on the "Formatting" splash screen. I am going to leave it overnight just to validate it's not impatience on my part.

Does anyone have beyondwind's rockbox for 7th gen? I've installed emCore with a 7th gen iPod + 1TB Samsung 840 EVO. It's been "stuck" on the formatting screen. I've left it for four hours and it's doing nothing.

The website is down. Could someone kindly upload the files elsewhere please?   Thank you.

Can someone upload/link me to beyondwind's version of rockbox for iPod 7th Gen? His/her website is down :/

Couple of questions if you guys don't mind me asking: I have more than 100,000 tracks that I can encode which will occupy around 900GB. - What is the limit for the number of tracks in a Rockbox database?   I've got a 480GB Crucial M500 5.5G iPod which has around 20,000 tracks. It works fine...

Having read some pages back, this is issue seems to be common on XP   How do you guys get it working on XP?

  Didn't solve my problem I'm afraid. I tried it on a Windows 7 PC and it worked fine, but there's too many issues when using it with my netbook. I'll try on my brother's Mac both OSX and WinXP via bootcamp

Yep, tried all three ports. I'm using foobar

I'm having serious issues with my v1.2.   First of all, volume control doesn't seem to be working. I can only change the volume up or down by half a bar. It won't go any higher or lower when using my netbook hotkeys. Secondly, when I use the volume control found in the taskbar and increase the...
