Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening. - Page 7

You don't need to use the database in Rockbox at all. Just browse the folders - that's one of its big advantage over iPod OS.

Thanks for the replies. So its looking very good right now; battery issue should be solveabe. Time to look for a classic...

Cannot for the life of me get this to work :/ Kinda sucks for me :'(

Do a long hold of the top button on the click wheel (about one second). When you release, it will then give you file viewing options which you can scroll through with the same top button. Set this to Music files. You should then be able to see your music.

Hmm I tried doing this, but when I navigated to the folder where my music is, it doesn't display the music files, only a blank folder?

Is there someplace where you can monitor updates for this? The place for installation doesn't look like there's much happening there.

Perhaps one of you could help, everytime i try this i get to turing the Ipod to DFU mode, and then the installer menu pops up, after that i cant get anything to work, or redirect what it's installing :/ anyone help me out?

Just to warn everyone I bricked my ipod while trying to uninstall this.

Firstly I installed rockbox successfully without a hitch and loaded all my music on, but after a few weeks when I plugged my ipod into my PC windows would say the device had malfunctioned or could not be recognized.

This meant that I could not load any new music on , so I decided to uninstall iloader and reinstall it.

I followed the instructions to uninstall iloader and unfortunately after having deleted the iloader file, rebooting and clicking "uninstall iloader" the ipod would not power on or show any signs of life. 

When I plug it in to my PC now it does not power up yet windows still comes up with the "device not recognized" "device malfunctioned message"

@marko93101 If you are using Windows go into the Device Manager and look under the heading "universal serial bus controllers" for something along the lines of Apple DFU device.

@jackmccabe Can you see the iPod in the Device Manager? The iPod might still be in DFU mode...just a thought.

I can see it in device manager but it is an unidentified device.

Also I think it is in dfu mode but as windows refuses to detect it I can't get it out of dfu mode.

Hi I'm new here is it possible to change my ipod 160g  themes appearance using this Rbox, i like dark background over white. thanks in advance

@OneFellSwoop still won't work, found it, but i cant get it to install the coding yoke!

Is there still battery life issues (4-6hrs)?

So I took the plunge and rockboxed my ipod 6G rev2 160GB.

WOW!

A major jump in audio quality!

A ton of option to play with too and actual EQ.
