I'd just like to say thank you to everyone that has worked on rockbox. I've really liked using rockbox over the past few month.
On my Ipod Video 80gb (r19869-090127) I also noticed it wasn't switching into disk mode when usb cable connected.
But I didn't realise this was a bug. I think it was nice that it doesn't automatically go into disk mode,
I put ipod into disk mode manually when I wanted to change stuff on ipod.
Thanks again for rockbox
