Hi guys
The Rockbox site refers to the EmCore release here for Classic 6g:
http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Releases/r859
Is this release different from the link you've provided?
Sadly the emcore version crashes very often on playing. Maybe someone knows a tip to get it to work better?
Thanks

Very intuitive - it detects the new version and asks ... reboot ? Wonderful!
Thanks
Gearbox:
I installed the latest release linked by Saint. Before that was using the one at freemyipod. So far it has been excellent, the older release hung twice while building up the database however the new one is working fine. Currently I've put barely 40 songs. Going to put in more now as the ipod no longer hangs up while building database files. Will try experiment with as many song formats as possible.
The problems I am facing is that the battery is now draining a bit fast that it was earlier, so lowered the LCD brightness to compensate. I directly copied 320 kbps mp3's which I had. Would playing these be more taxing on the battery than the apple's AAC format files ?
Secondly rockbox doesn't seem to differentiate the charging from a wall charger to that of the USB charging. If you don't hold any button while plugging the wall charger in it goes into USB connect mode. Not an issue really, just saying.
I am really thankful for rockbox as nothing like having a hell lot of formats to play in the ipod directly plus the ease of drag and drop with the original filenames intact. Simple things are better. Will try to contribute as much as I can in detailed feedbacks.

Hi There
Thanks for proving this link. How do you know if the file is updated i.e. a new version is released?
Its not possible to tell from the link alone.

That link is updated everytime there is a new commit to git, that is, several times per day.
