Music on Rockbox

[chomps268]

Hey, I know this is a dumb question, but my iPod broke and it's been so long since I've used Rockbox.

Anyways, like the title says: How do I get music on my iPod? I did it before, a long time ago, and now I seem to not be able to do it anymore.

I was sure that all I had to do was boot rockbox up, go to iTunes and click sync, and it all went onto my Rockbox... But now, nothing happens...

I think I'm probably missing a step or two. Can anyone help me out a bit? xD

Just drag and drop it onto the player.

You can also use iTunes.  Be aware, however, that if you use iTunes to load your music, you will need to use Rockbox's database to find and play it.  

The manual has additional information.

I got it to work... I have no idea how, but my music's on there.

As for the drag and drop thing, I have no idea how to do that. What file am I dropping the songs into?

One more question: The music on the gbc for rockbox is real messed up... is there a newer recent version for that?

I have the rockbox on my 5g 30 gig video ipod. It was last updated about a year ago. Know when the most recent patch was?

Drag and drop is the same idea as copy and paste... drag (or "copy") your music from one folder and drop into another ("paste"). A search on Google will reveal more information.

As for your Gameboy Color games, Rockboy on the iPod is very slow, due to the slow speed of the iPod's CPU. Unless you can heavily optimize Rockboy to make it run at a more acceptable speed on the iPod, I would suggest just turning sound off altogether.

Version numbers are always listed on the download page.

xD I mean, I do know how to drag and drop... But, I just don't know where I'm putting the files.

Kinda came out wrong =/

Place them wherever you want. Make a "music" folder and drop everything in there, for example. Just don't put anything into the .rockbox folder!
