    I hate the IPod software and ITunes even worse... If you have mixed media on your IPod, or even drastically different genres... or even if you just want to freaking use "shuffle"... so sucks. I hate that it just throws away my well maintained and easy to navigate directory structure in favour of ONLY (often irrelevant) tagging structure (I don't want entries for all the artists that appear on a Soundtrack...). So, I finally took the plunge and put Rockbox on. I've been toying with the idea for about a year... seriously wish I had done it sooner! It's a different OS (firmware) for portable devices (not just IPod) and it's fantastic! Treats your IPod just like a hard drive, and then you can EITHER navigate the file structure you put on it OR use the database it creates by scanning it. And then on top of it it has a gazillion more better features... including much more flexible bookmarking, so I'm done with the days of losing my place in my audiobooks cause apple lost them. Grr! So worthwhile. The only thing I haven't tested yet is whether it can handle video -- I have my doubts -- but it handled the car adapter just fine which makes me very happy. That was my biggest concern. I can live without video. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Welcome back to reality. Now, please, give us an update on the important stuff :). (Reply to this) (Thread)
No kidding! Over one month of radio silence and you break it to tell me about tech? :-) Not that it doesn't sound like cool tech.... I've missed you! I think you would have loved Prophecy. (Reply to this) (Thread) | |||||||||||||||||||||
