Just thought I'd bump this thread. I've just installed Rockbox on my iPod, and it was very easy to get up and running. I can now play FLACs; while this was the main raison d'etre, the number of games (including DOOM, asteroids, sudoku, there are dozens) is also nice. I'll report on battery life when I have been out with it, but that's not a real issue to me - I can use a charger at work, so it's just the travelling - that's only half an hour :) Adam -- adamslim SB3 and Shanling CDT-100, Rotel RT-990BX, Esoteric Audio Research 859, Living Voice Auditorium IIs, Nordost cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16240 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
