ipod classic v6

Hi,

The from page on the site says that v1-5.5 is supported, but the installer has detection for v6. Does that mean that Rockbox will work on v6 or not?

Rockbox changed the piece of junk that was my iRiver H140 into a usable bit of kit and I will only but the ipod if Rockbox will install and work.

Regards

Rockbox Utility can currently detect iPod Classics, but can't install Rockbox onto them. The install process for iPod Classics is still a manual process only; you can read the instructions here:

Brilliant. Looks as if I may be able to get by without using iTunes at all. Is that right? Could you please kindly confirm that I can install Rockbox on the latest v6 of the ipod classic. If I cannot, I am not buying it.

Yes.  But instead of asking you should probably check out that link, it explains this.

DrTeeth:
I just wanted confirmation as the Rockbox home page says versions 1-5.5 are supported by the installer. Nowhere does it say that the RB can be installed on v6, the inference being that it cannot. Also, another red herring was the into on the RB site that the installer can detect v6 hardware...inferring that it could work.

The link that you supplied does not 110% say that the ipod can be used without iTunes, it infers it granted, but I just wanted more than that.

I just wanted yes/no answers rather than guesswork before I splash out on an ipod.

Many thanks for your help and clarifications. I have just ordered one - I feel so dirty <g> as I am not an Apple fan at all.

With kind regards

DrT
