iPod 160gb Classic - excellent!

(1/7) > >>

boxrock:
I purchased an iPod Classic 160gb and have just installed Rockbox onto it, battery life seems fine, audio quality is superb and it's really easy to use. Are there any bugs I should watch out for as it says it's unstable?  ::)

gevaerts:
"stable", "unstable" and "unusable" aren't really based on number of bugs. Basically for a target to promote from "unusable" to "unstable", it has to be considered ready by developers, *and* it has to be installable using only tools from rockbox.org. To then promote to "stable", again developers have to agree it's ready, but additionally e.g. the manual must be available.

For the Classic, the main thing holding it back in "unusable" is the lack of a rockbox.org installation method.

(note that the installation package on freemyipod.org contains a rather old rockbox build, many important improvements have been made since then, so make sure you install a recent build afterwards)

boxrock:
How do I update?

saratoga:
Download a new build an unzip it to your player.  Alternatively, use rockbox utility and install a newer build.

[Saint]:
It not immediately obvious where one might actually get an updated build for the Classic from, as it isn't offered via the release/development builds page(s). So, here:

rockbox-ipod6g.zip
