Question before going ahead

I just discovered Rockbox - have quick questions before I go ahead with it...

1) Is this change un-doable ? i.e. Can I revert back to Apple spec/firmware ?
2) After Rockbox - does iPod still work the same with iTunes ?

thanks

Llorean:
1) Yes.
2) No. In Rockbox you can't play songs purchased from the iTunes store unless they're the DRM-Free iTunes Plus variety. Other than that, Rockbox will not interfere with iTunes, and since you can dual boot, it will not interfere with using iTunes with the original firmware.

> since you can dual boot,

so iPod can boot to either Rockbox or Apple fm ?
that's awesome 8)


so the free songs from iTunes for example - Rockbox can not play them ?

saratoga:
It'll play M4A but not M4P.
