you can try that. I did when I used it, then I got a ZVM. I liked it, didn't notice battery life loss for me.

I've never really understood this objection, since Rockbox uses FAT32, which is supported by Macs.

FAT32 is supported by Macs.
But converting a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod to a Windows (FAT32) formatted one is very troublesome under Mac OS X (I know since I wrote the conversion part of the Rockbox Wiki).
Hopefully someone step up and write an HFS+ filesystem driver for Rockbox. Until then I wont touch it...
