IPod 3G - Does anybody acutally use it?

[shawn_]

Does anybody actually use the Ipod 3G port of ROCKbox? I just tried it and its soo unstable that its unusable. It randomly freezes all the time while in the music database and playing normal mp3 files. I just want to know if there is anybody using it with more success than me or if this port is pretty much useless?

I don't think anyone ever worked on the 3G port.  Its basically a straight port of ipodlinux's code from 18 months ago with some minor changes to fix the sound (last summer) and to get it to work with the coprocessor (last winter).

I believe the crashes are caused by the CPU scaling and just running the player at a fixed clock rate makes it a lot more stable, my brother used his under rockbox for a while before upgrading to an iPOD video when the battery failed.

mp3 playback is also helped alot by one of the patches in the patch tracker http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6705

So if you don't mind making your own build you may be able to make the 3G usable under rockbox.
