How to video on iPod Rockbox installation for 5th generation
Posted in: iPod | October 15th, 2007
This is a great how to video showing you Rockbox on the iPod 5th generation. Try it out and see if it works for you.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Rockbox is a free software replacement for the firmware held on various forms of digital audio players (DAPs). Rockbox offers an alternative to the host device’s operating system firmware (in many cases without removing the original firmware) which provides a plug-in architecture for adding various enhancements and functionality to DAPs which are not present in the original OS.

January 3rd, 2010 at 12:21 pm
[..YouTube..] @IndivisblePrinciple They are 2 differnt systems, that dont interact with each other AT ALL. think of rockbox on an ipod as having a computer with both Window and Mac on it. If you want to go back to regualr ipod mode, reset the ipod, and turn on the hold button when the apple logo comes up
January 8th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
[..YouTube..] dude your videos are so degrating..
February 5th, 2010 at 6:41 am
[..YouTube..] nope. it only works on nano 1G. every other generation is ignored ._. (i have 5G too and i hate it xD)
February 7th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
[..YouTube..] Thanks man!!!!!
