OSX, because iTunes on Windows runs and looks like crap. ILife integration is just so nice. On the other hand, Apple's monopoly forces be to buy ipods.

Switched to the Apple OS from Rockbox a few weeks ago and I'm very happy with it. I'll return to Rockbox once it's out of beta for the iPod -- the constant freezing and low battery life were not exactly ideal.

apple osx and no regrets all in lossless

Was using rockbox on my 1st gen. Nano before selling it. Now waiting for rockbox support for the 2nd gen. Nano desperately ...

Rockbox. But I'm wondering if there may be an apples and oranges issue with this poll. Is iPod Linux running on iPods, or on computers as an iTunes substitute?

I have iPodLinux on it, to play doom

I also transfer my music on my ipod with linux, using gnupod (command line tool, I absolutely love the efficiency and speed of the commandline). And my mp3s and flacs are located on a linux fileserver (many harddisks make an annoying sound.. so I put the stuff out of the room)

Stock firmware here, all I use it for is to listen to music, so I don't need anything fancy.
I don't use Rockbox cause of the battery issues, but I don't really want or need it either.

I have been using Rockbox for about a month now and am very happy with its features.

wait what do you mean?
do you mean on the iPod itself, or the computer you use to transfer the data?

Apple Mac OS 10.4.9

 

[swistak]

Apple OS + Mac OS X 10.4.9 - usability for the win

 

[JibJab]

Just to clarify...I mean the software you are using on the iPod itself, not on your computer.

Question for iMod and Rockbox users - which version of Rockbox are u running?

I got the 5/31/07 build and it crashes a lot and causes weird errors

In that case, I use the original Apple firmware.
Rockbox would have been an obvious alternative, if it wasn't for these issues:
1. No support for Mac formated iPod's.
2. High power consumption.

No experience with iPod Linux at all.

Ipod 80Gb, Apple OS with .wav files, Ipod Nano 2g 2Gb, Apple OS with 320Kbs mp3.

I wanted to use rockbox so bad. with my 80Gb but it just wasn't happening for the longest time. The main reason was to use .flac. Solved that by using .wav.
Downside of the work around is that .wav does'nt support id3 tags editing the itunes database is a PIA.
BTW my main OS is GNU/linux, No iTunes and no .alac
