Rockbox works on most iPod models, but not all. Doesn't work on mine. I use gtkpod to get music on and off it. Interestingly, the 0S X side of my old iMac (on which I dual-boot OS Xv10.2 "Jaguar" and Debian Lenny) will no longer work with my iPod. You can only install up to a certain older version of iTunes, which is too old to cooperate with a needed version of the iPod-updating software that comes bundled with iTunes. So to move music to and from my Mac and my iPod, I have to boot into Linux. Is that what they mean by "Think Different"?
