I also think the I-Pod sounds qu9ite excellent.  I truly believe the sound
is far superior to the BookPort, which is all I have to compare it to.

 

Have a blessed day,

Nicki,

No, have never used Iriver. But this iPod sounds quite good. I was recently
listening to a BBC dramatization of Crime and Punishment, and the sound it
produced made me assume that I was sitting in a theater. It was superb
clarity.

I have heard that the Ipods are not as great sounding as the Irivers.

did you ever use an Iriver before the Ipod? if so have you noticed any great
sound difference?

Hi Mark,

 

I have the 5.5th generation one, although Rockbox supports all the 30GB
iPods, regardless of the generation.  

I have never done a proper battery test as yet and have not waited for the
battery to drain out, but I get around eight hours on average.    

With the original Apple firmware, I have been told that the battery lasts
for 12 hours. 

No, not many lockups except when playing very long files. 

Given the benefits and ease of use of Rockbox, I do not mind these
occasional lockups at all.

hi Geetha, do you have the 5th Generation, or the 5.5 generation Ipod video?

I understand there is a difference with regards battery life and rock box?

how are you finding the battery life?

are you getting many lock ups?

Hi Mark,

 

You have indeed understood the Rockbox site correctly. 

I purchased a 30GB iPod a few weeks ago, and am quite happy with it overall.


I have had no problems at all operating with the wheel -- in fact I use a
skin all the time and still have no problems. 

And I had no trouble with the voicebox script either.

Except for the occasional lockups, I am extremely happy with  the
Rockbox/iPod combination. 

Should you have further questions, please feel free to ask.    

Geetha

hi list, my Iriver has died and I am looking at the Ipods for my
replacement.

Have I understood the rock box site correctly, in as much as the Ipod 30 and
60GB 5th generation are  working with rock box?

if so, anyone out using it at the moment?

Speaking to a friend who was using the Ipod video about a year ago, he said
it was  a little difficult to operate with the wheal and not really  worth
the effort.

experienced problems getting the  voice box script to work on the Ipod
video.

Have we seen an improvement on the Ipod video in terms of rock box support,
and functionality?

 

any info much appreciated.

 

RGDS,
