this is when i try it with the rockbox firmware.

My music in the apple firmware does not work because i removed the /music folder from the hidden iPod_control folder.

Which version of Rockbox did you install?  An official "current build" or one of the unofficial builds?

You need to force your ipod into disk mode - make sure the hold switch is turned off, then hold MENU+SELECT together for about 5 seconds until your ipod reboots, then immediately press and hold SELECT+PLAY.  Your computer should then see it.

I installed an unsupported build. I have Julius' latest builds: "jbuild".

Is this the correct current build for my 30gb video iPod fugot mentions?:
http://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-ipodvideo/rockbox.zip

If I extract it to the root of my iPod, wouldn't Juilius' themes and builds not function properly?

"Unsupported builds" are called that for a reason - if you have problems or questions, you need to ask in the forum thread for that build.

But yes, that's the correct link for the official build.

Okay, I installed the official build, and the music works fine now except no music info, or anything relating to Julius' theme and jbuild.

Fugot, did you stay with the current build for you iPod when you downloaded it or do you have a theme you are currently using that needs an unsupported build to make it work correctly?

you also could try redownloading the build that you were using and extract that to the root of your ipod.

I redownloaded the jBuild and extracted (which overwrote the files from the current official build) that to the root of my iPod.

Still the same problem, music will not play staying at 0:00

Do you know if anyone has experienced any problems like this in the past when they downloaded the iPL Loader2 Boot Menu, then tried to play music but wouln't work? And does anyone here have the jthemes/jbuild, and know what can fix this problem that could possibly help me out?

I will try asking in the proper thread for it here:
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=4417.0

If any of you can help me with this problem, head over there, so I don't get in trouble for asking questions about unsupported builds in this thread.

Thankyou for all your help!  :D

it shouldn't matter if you use loader 2 or not. when you use loader 2 it is just a diffrent way of booting the rockbox firmware.
