Howdee-I just installed Rockbox. I suppose my answer is in the Twiki?but it's down. How do I get Rockbox to play my 2,400 Apple Lossless songs on my 4th Gen. 60GB ipod photo?

Many thanks,
Robert

It won't. However, FLAC and SHN play on-the-fly. In fact, I would say that FLAC playback is quite excellent.

It's times like this that I feel a little sorry for all the people that have invested so much time into WMP and iTunes and their respective proprietary formats....

Actually, ALAC should be supported.

From what I understand, ALAC, while definitely supported, is currently a bit shaky and may not be able to play all ALAC files.

Well, it's mostly the MP4 parser, if I understand correctly, that is the problem.

That being said, most iTunes encoded ALAC files should play fine, like any other file.
