Rockbox only runs on the exact players listed on the front of the site.

Please ask that somewhere that people actually know about your MP3 player. These  forums are for support and development of Rockbox, not a general-purpose MP3 player support forum.

There are no OEM ipods, if someone told you that, they were scamming you.

I realize this isn't the answer you wanted, but theres no need to get angry at people for telling you.
