How good/bad is Rockbox on iPod 5.5?

Or an 80GB drive ;)

Well, it took me a while to get hold of an iPod - had a few problems with ebay - but I've finally managed to bag myself a nice 80GB 5.5 version.

And... I've just (manually) installed Rockbox. Wasn't hard at all, in fact the whole process seems to have been simplified since I last did it on my iRiver. Checked out a few themes too, looking good on the iPod screen. Now I'm just in the process of copying over my music collection.

Looking forward to getting to grips with the device now, I just hope the battery doesn't cause me any problems like it did last time...

LambdaCalculus: Sorry, but I've decided to keep my iRiver for now. I might want to use it for experiments and stuff. :)

Edit: Actually, I have another question - is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the scroll bar somehow? At the moment it's far too sensitive for me.

It is just that different players require installing in different ways.  The iriver H1x0 and H3x0 store their firmware and bootloader in flash, therefore we have to modify it and re-flash it in order to inject our bootloader.  The iPods have the bootloader + firmware on a hidden disk partition, so it is easier (+ safer!) for us to access (in some ways)
