Hello,
let me introduce myself first. I'm an very new to that forum. So i am a nob. This is not the first forum i signed up for. So i know all dumb answer for dumb nob question.
I tried to find all topic related answers. But after serious investigation i am as dumb as before. So here are all my question.
Hardware actual  IPOD Classic 160GB bought 3 weeks ago
According to my sources  http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/Status this should be the 3rd generation. ? YES / No

Or is this page not related to Rockbox????

Is it right to use Rockbox on this device? Y/N
Can i still use the ITunes App. as the loading software?? Y/N
If i don't like the firmware i can easily go back to the APPLE Firmware? Y/N

LambdaCalculus:
The freemyipod team helped with the port of Rockbox to the iPod nano 2nd gen and the iPod Classic, so in a sense they're affiliated with us.

As for your questions:

1) If it's not a thick 160GB model, you should be able to run Rockbox.
2) At this point, Rockbox completely replaces the firmware on the iPod Classic. We may have a dual-boot setup done when someone manages to implement it.
3) If you don't like Rockbox, simply restore your iPod factory settings in iTunes.

AlexP:
I suspect that 2) actually means can he use itunes to transfer tracks; if so then yes but you will have to use the Rockbox database as itunes gives files stupid names and puts them in stupidly named directories when transferring.

That's supposed to be can't, right?

No OF = No iTunes.
