a few questions.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Watts:
I am just finding out about RB. I was interested in putting FLAC files on my 5th Gen 30GB iPod video because of the superior sound quality they offer. I did some searching and came across The Rock Box website and this forum. This is what I am looking for!
Sphere9 asked the main question I have... I was afraid of rendering my iPod useless! So even a newbie like me can't screw this up?
I realize I have a lot of reading to do, I just need a little reassuring!
That being said, is it fairly simple to revert back to the current Apple firmware, if I so choose?

I also use the iPod in the car using the headphone out into an AUX input in the car. Is this possible with RB?

Thanks
 :D

What do you mean by, "it runs very slow"?

Yes.  Moreover, you can dual-boot into the iPod firmware if you so choose after installing Rockbox.  The manual explains how to do this.

Yes.  You should set the volume on the iPod at 0 dB when you do this.  (The maximum volume on the iPod is +6 dB, so you want to set it slightly below the maximum.)

Thanks. Now I have something to do tomorrow!

just scrolling through menus is very slow / unresponsive and often takes a few seconds to switch between them.

also it takes awhile to start up.
