iPod 5G Video: Rockbox AND Apple Firmware without iTunes Plan

Please remember to modify your post if no one has replied since your previous post.

I think you'll experience much better sound quality by going that route anyway.

So, did you find a concrete way to do this at all?

It's a shame there's no sort of folder sync software that can do this automatically.

The whole thing will work if you can get your own directory structure under the 55 or 57 (I forget which) cahracter limit for the full pathname of the files. Then you can use both the almighty Rockbox and the OF side by side without iTunes.

Yeah, just make sure that you don't listen to any music with long artist, album or track names.

I assume you have the iTrip Dock, which according to http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodAccessories is one of the few dock-connected FM modulators which does not work.
I bet you could sell it on Craigslist / eBay and buy one which does work for little additional money.  Support for the Apple Accessory Protocol will likely not come anytime soon.

Heh, easier said than done. Especially when I have one album that's 108 characters long as it is!

Never mind, I might have to look into a bit of scripting to get this done =/

If I come up with anything I'll let you guys know.
