Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
One way could be to start a folder structure similar to the iTunes way ( F01,F02,...) in /iPod_Control/iTunes and sym-link the original files (in the rockbox structure) within the "new" iTunes-fake-folders.
Once the songs are added with itunes the ONLY way rockbox will find them is via the database if the files have the tags set, otherwise you will see logs of entries in the rockbox database!
@scharkalvin: Note - some users don't like the database in Rockbox. Myself included.
On the ipod if you want to us both firmwares (since rockbox doesn't support the serial interface for remote control, database searching and metadata reporting), you're stuck with the rockbox database when in rockbox.
I meant to say you would have lots of !untagged! entries in the rockbox database.I put "<" and ">" around the untagged and the forum script must have deleted them thinking it was an html tag.
FAT doesn't support symlinks.
Unless there is a hacked Apple firmware around that can handle alternative file locations I only see the solution to keep the obfuscated structure generated by Itunes.
Or get the serial device working in Rockbox
As far as I know, this is STILL possible even with the latest Apple firmware, *provided* you keep your file / folder structure inside ipod_control.
And besides, the idea with an older firmware DOES have its charm as long as there actually is one?! Not knowing an awful lot about different FW-versions, there's a good chance of my G5.5 iPod Video simply being "too new" for such tweaks.
