Okay! I opted for the Daily instead of Stable Build and finally got it on my device after several attempts. I found potential workaround for what to do if my windows rejects the device again. My latest MusicBee sync also came through as playable! Will take some time to think about putting podcasts on here, if at all, and learning more about the Rockbox config options : D

Yesterday, I installed an iFlash Solo SSD and new battery into my iPod Classic 6th Gen. The suggestion is to format to FAT32 in advance, but turns out that the iPod restore will do that automatically. I've been stuck in a cycle of my device either rejecting the format or saying my device needs to be repaired. I did at one point get Rockbox with @dook 's Themify theme going. I haven't gone as far as getting music that I synced from MusicBee to play yet, it just skips the tracks endlessly. I was surprised that MusicBee uses the iTunes API, so if I want to remove iTunes, I'll have to consider switching to foobar.

Ah, eg saknar å ha ein musikkspelar med #rockbox. Det var noko av det mest morosame eg har hatt å gjera med elektronikk. Eg hadde faktisk ein Iaudio X5, men han var harddiskbasert og gjorde til slutt slik harddiskar gjer av og til. Dersom nokon veit om ein rockbox-brukeleg dings som er å få her i gamle Noreg, så er eg interessert.

I have Rockbox on an Ipod Classic, and would like to try a modern version of Bashpodder.
Suggestions?

@MyWoolyMastadon You'll definitely want something that's capable of running #Rockbox. See https://www.rockbox.org/.

There's simply no better software for portable media players, if you ask me. And fully open source. I personally have a #Surfans F20, which works great.

Rockbox - Free Music Player Firmware

Rev. Charles Browning Feb 27

Well, it took four days of off and on work, navigating multiple (LLM-generated) guides and forums but I finally managed to get #RockBox loaded on my #Y1 (using the unsupported Linux build of the #Innioasis updater app) and I couldn’t be happier! Makes a fun music device all the better! PLUS I learned a TON about my #Linux system. I feel like I’ve been through the trenches.

Well, the iPod is officially a bust, so I must search for other avenues.

My choices of #MP3player / #DAP are then:

- Ultra low-cost machine, with quite possibly VERY crappy sound for under €40;

- Proper DAP that's over €100 with some being able to run #Rockbox as an alternative firmware. Currently eyeing the #HIFIWalkerH2.

- Weirdly enough, some retro consoles like the #R36S and its variants, which can also run Rockbox as an app.

So, Fedi, what say you on this topic? What do you suggest?

@musevg Die Software ist nicht so das Problem, da kann man im Zweifelsfalle #Rockbox portieren. Aber neben dem ESP32 bräuchte es halt noch den DAB-Stein, das ganze Stromgeraffel, I2S-DAC usw pp, und das dann noch in einem tragbaren Formfaktor, das würde ich nur dann selbst entwickeln wollen, wenn ich unbedingt muss.

Just noticed one of my favorite pieces of software ever had a big update after more than 5 years: the #Rockbox media player software! https://www.rockbox.org

I ran this on an old #iPod color, of course, but later on an old #Android phone, a #FiiO M3K and today on a #Surfans F20! Honestly it just can't be beat, software wise, for a media player. 🧵1/2
