    Official Ipod Video / Classic 5g+5.5g+6g+6.5g+7g SSD Mod thread

      I have been experiencing this issue with my 6th gen clickwheel and 5th gen board.  Driving me crazy.  I am also curious about the slim back and the large battery...

      Looks good.  I tried painting a back, but it started chipping within a week or two.  I ended up stripping it and powder coating it.  Holding up great now.  I don't personally mind the logo not being there.   Wouldn't it make more sense to just buy a black back with the logo vs trying to...

    Something you are seeing in the photo or from experience?  I dont have a 6th or 7th gen to compare to, but I am looking at it now and it looks very flush to me.  Hard to capture, maybe the lighting is catching the rim around the clickwheel and making it look off?  I tried taking a photo at a...

      That's odd.  I am running windows 7 on the machine I used to update my iPod, using 2 64GB SD cards as well and I copied and pasted all 100GBs just using explorer in one shot.  Haven't found a single corrupted file yet.   I noticed Tarkan says on his site "on average there is only 20%...

      Thanks!  What issues were you having?  I managed a very large collection of music, like most here, for a really long period of time.  I was only listening to a small percentage of what I had and the rest was getting in the way. I finally decided to start over in the FLAC format a few years...

    Finished up another 5.5 gen.  Shaved down the 5.5 frame to fit the 6th gen space gray face plate, black wheel, space gray button, thick back powder coated satin black, 2000mah battery and Tarkan's dual SD adapter.  Running rockbox with my xhibition theme.  Really happy with this setup.

    Yes, elsewhere it will obviously look worse if you are stretching a smaller image to make it larger.  I resized my artwork down specifically for my iPod and keep my larger sizes in my main music library. To reiterate, it stops helping as soon as you go over whatever the resolution is of the...

        Yes, overkill.  In the post before your post, I commented that I am displaying full width artwork (320px) in my xhibition theme.  By resizing your artwork down to 320x320 in photoshop, for example, your artwork will display sharp and clear on your iPod using the xhibition theme.  If you...

    Hey guys, I released a theme called redux 2 years ago for Rockbox and the iPod Video.  I left for awhile, but I am back again and have spent the last month working on a new theme.  I really wanted something polished and simplistic to bring rockbox on the iPod up to 2016.  I also wanted to do a...

      I remember seeing someone who did it years ago and decided I wanted to try it this time around.  I found a post by Antony who did a bunch of minis up nice.  Super nice guy. It's a decent amount of work for a simple color change, but I am really happy with the results.  Feels like the stock...

      iDemigods is out of stock.  I contacted a few eBay sellers who sell iPod related items, but they were all out of stock as well.  My point was just that this item specifically, seems to be rather hard to find and that is why I was asking if anyone happened to see any as of lately.      ...

      You do realize you are not being helpful?  If you know somewhere specifically that has them in stock at a fair price, that would be helpful to those who are looking.  If you aren't sure if what you saw in the past is or is not available, you aren't adding anything to the conversation.

      I am aware, but I assume you haven't tried looking?  160GB 6th gen black headphone jack replacements seem to be difficult to find. I wasn't being lazy.  If you do have a source, lmk.

    Thanks!  Still can't seem to find any.  Anyone have a source?
