IPOD Nano 80GB playback broken ?

(1/3) > >>

Art99:
Hi   I have an 80GB Ipod Nano I put Rockbox 3.3 on last night. Everything seems ok except the most important thing - playing songs. I have about 2600 FLAC files I put in a folder called SONGS. I see the songs in the database but when I select an album to play I see the correct songs but when  I choose one to play I see it on the 'now playing screen' but either it won't play at all or it takes like 3 minutes to start. Also if I'm lucky enough to get one to play, when I try to advance to the next song there is another very long delay. It's as if everything is working in very very slow motion. BTW these FLAC files have Artwork embedded inside the file. I use a very popular program called Tag and Rename to make all my id tags and it embeds the artwork in the file. Don't know if this matters. I don't care about seeing the Artwork just about getting the music to play right.

Has anyone gotten Rockbox to work well on an 80 IPOD Nano without any problems.?

Thanks for any help

First tell us where we can get this 80GB iPod nano. Then we can help you. ;)

But seriously, how were the FLAC files encoded?

You gotta be kidding me you've never heard of the 80GB IPOD - I see many many posts in the forum concerning 80GB IPOD's like mine. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Video-Player-Black-Generation/dp/B000EPHR0C.

Some of my FLAC files I encoded myself off cd's with dbpoweramp music converter   - the rest I downloaded from various place. All play flawlessly in winamp ,  Windows Media Player and other players I've tried. There is nothing wrong or substandard concerning the FLAC files themselves. It appears that either Rockbox doesn't work right for FLAC or that it doesn't work right wih my IPOD or both. Later when I have some time I will just try mp3's instead. The reason I got rockbox was to play FLAC though. Not sure if it's worth the bother though.

I don't think you have a Nano. It's most likely an iPod Video.

You mentioned embedded artwork. Currently Rockbox doesn't support this and it may cause problems:

I don't have an iPod video, but FLAC playback works well on all the Sansas I have under Rockbox.

I've heard it referred to as Nano , Video and Nano Video. It's the only 80 gb model Apple ever has made as far as I know. I will make some new FLAC files without artwork embedded and see if that works.

Thanks for the help
