Rockbox General Discussion / iPod mini - ALAC listening - Rockbox or native OS?
« Last post by hiss on April 14, 2024, 04:42:05 PM »I'm going to repair/mod my 2nd gen iPod mini, so I was planning to use Rockbox until with further reading I found out that my iPod natively supports ALAC, which is the only format that I'm going to use.
Are there any advantages in running Rockbox anyway? Like better battery usage with ALAC, bug fixes that improve performance or something like that specific to the iPod nano?
I'm not going to be using any EQ and I'm going to use a lot of music with Japanese tags.
Any ideas and why I should prefer Rockbox?
Thank you.

Thank you so much for the help. I had seen that line in the manual, but not understood what it meant, and not noticed the unsync option in MP3::Tag, which I might have been connect but didn't... But now I have a working proof-of-concept.
Now I just need to integrate it into the actual script, which should be easy enough. Once again, thanks.

Olympus - Installation/Removal / Re: M: Robe 500i hangs on white screen when try to boot Rockbox
« Last post by multiwirth on April 14, 2024, 11:37:00 AM »Hi there,
@Bilgus i tested your build yesterday.
It displays "loading firmware" and a few other things, then nothing more happens.
The device also doesn´t respond to the power button being pushed.
No disk activity either.
Exactly the same issue as with the recent dev builds from the download portal i was trying prior.
I think the issue i´m facing differs from what cereal_killer was facing back then.
Let me know if you need more info on that.
Perhabs there´s a way to create a bootlog or something?

edit:
looks like 2.4 has a few other things to offer as well:
