    Hi

    Its possible on ipods if the proprietory code is broken to allow 3rd party applications, similar to the iPhone being "jailbroken" although wouldnt recomend it a come update time, the update on Apple hardwae may fail due.

    Rockbox is an alternative operatingsystem/firmware for digital audio players, not just iPods. Has been around for a long time, and is very popular among certain DAP owners. I don't use it... don't need it :)

    I use it on my Sansa since Ubuntu by default saves as .ogg and the Sansa interface does not play those type files.

    Rockbox will.

    If you have a Clip or Fuze they do now, with the latest firmware update. :)
