Just got a brand new imod from Vinnie at the Montreal show! I started by loading the battery and testing it with the loaded software to make sure everything was ok. Since I would really like not to have to use itune, I immediately decided to load Rockbox and use my extensive library of flac files.
Downloaded Rockbox from rockbox.org, current build for "ipod color/photo".
Unzipped and loaded everything as described in the manual. Did the ipodpatcher and reboated the ipod.
Then it took at least 2-3 times of pressing the "menu/select" buttons before this thing finally booted with Rockbox. Loaded a few flac files, started playing one and about halfway through the first song, zap, the player stops working. Same thing again, takes 2 to 5 times of pressing the menu/select button before this stupid rockbox finally decides to boot.
So I messed around with it a while, shuting it down and trying to reboot it. Finally decided to re-download the software in case I did not select the right one by mistake and reloaded everything. Uninstalled and deleted rockbox first then reloaded.
Same problems with rockbox. I dual booted back to the ipod software and everything works fine.
So any ideas? As far as I know there are some of you running rockbox, is it often a problem that it stops in the middle of a song like that or it takes 5 minutes to be able to boot it?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Many thanks.
