Transferring OGG to Rockboxed Ipod
« on: November 01, 2011, 12:29:42 AM »
I just installed Rockbox on my Ipod, and it's fantastic, but I would like to know how could I transfer ogg files to my ipod without converting them. Thanks.

Connect the ipod to your computer, select the Vorbis files, and then copy them over.

Just to make sure you're understanding this, vladimir88x7:
To copy files to Rockbox you don't use iTunes, and you don't usually need to convert anything, since Rockbox supports a wide range of formats - like OGG Vorbis.
To copy files, you just connect the iPod to a computer and copy files to anywhere on the player (except the .rockbox folder), like you would do with a pendrive or portable hard drive.

We strongly suggest that you read the Rockbox Manual if you haven't done so yet. It can be a bit long to read, but even if you only read the quick start section, it should already answer most of your questions.

http://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml (select your player and the format you want to read the manual in)

Ok, well i know its an option and I have already used it, but i'd prefer to use some sort of software, like winamp, to transfer music on to my ipod, for ogg files too not just mp3 or aac.

Go ahead.  I have used Amarok to transfer music to various players.  It's basically up to your PC software to recognize an external storage device and allow you to transfer music to it.

you might want to try songbird, too - more open-source than winamp, more like itunes in interface (but not itunes), and might support the one-click synching you seem to want.  and it should support most of the formats rockbox supports.
