Hi everyone,

Just recently bought a new Ipod video.

Used to have IRiver H120 and loved it but had to part with it.

The one thing I loved about the IRiver is the "Drag and Drop" where I can do all the copying and deleting of files/songs in my Iriver trhough Windows Explorer.

You supposedly can't do this with the Ipod Video because everything has to go through Itunes in my laptop as the host computer.

My problem with this is : I want to be able to copy and delete songs in my player anywhere. With Itunes, if it doesn't recognize my laptop (as the primary host), it will delete all the songs that were previously loaded in the player. If I was in a different room and I use my daughter's computer or my computer at work, Itunes will delete all the previously loaded sobngs in the player.

I know it has something to do with the privacy and copyright etc... of songs and artitsts but I want to manage my songs better and with flexibility.

If I load Rockbox on my Ipod Video, will that allow me to add/delete files/songs like I used to do with my Iriver using "Drag and Drop" thru windows Explorer?

Appreciate your help.

Yes.

You can also set your iPod to update manually in iTunes, to avoid it wiping out during sync.

Need help !!

Tried to load Rockbox bootloader but the Ipod video does not show up as a different drive.

At first, I could see it on Windows Explorere, but as soon as I connect the Ipod with the USB, Itunes would start up and the drive showing the Ipod would dissapear.

What do I do now?

Thanks for the help.

HI all !!

Before I do anything, could abyone confirm that Rockbox can work on the newest Ipod video 30gb?

If so, which build do I download, the Ipod Video or the Ipod Video 64mb?

Thanks
