Isn't 3.7 the first release with USB support on the Ipod Video?  My guess would be because you weren't using rockbox for USB before now.

Can't we just use the ipod firmware's setting?  It seems to work well enough for apple.

Okay thanks for the answers.
But is there a way on 3.7 to boot into Apples Recovery USB mode when connected to the computer instead of Rockbox? Without rebooting into Apple OS.

Should I write a bug report on it?

I'm sure there is.  Check the Apple documentation.  I think you have to hit some button for it.

No.

Nope, there isn't.

You'll need to do this manually each time you want to connect using Apple's disk mode by booting the player and quickly holding Select+Play to enter disk mode.

Why is it you want to do this, what is it that the Apple disk mode offers you that Rockbox USB does not?

EDIT: I re-read the thread...bloody strange that this makes a difference.

It is possible to re-assign a drive letter to your device if you think it having a different drive letter is really a big deal (it won't make a lick of functional difference though).

Not really that strange, as gevaerts said we probably spin the disk down more quickly than the Apple OF, so when the PC requests more data there is a pause as the disk is spun up.
