Rockbox Rocks

After fixing the gas trimmer motor last night I needed a geek fix. So, I installed Rockbox on an older 5th generation iPod that was laying around. It was a painless experience with the graphical installer that took only a few minutes. I even uninstalled the program and reverted to the Apple firmware just to be sure.
The added features over the original Apple firmware are what make Rockbox shine. Some of these features include: support for over 15 Sound Codecs, including OGG and FLAC, themes, tagging, plugins, and a spoken inteface. Oh, do I need to mention that it’s Open Source with constant improvement? Rockbox has breathed some new life into my 5th generation iPod and I want to extend my thanks to the the Rockbox crew.
