Rockbox is an alternative firmware for many MP3 players, including the iPod.
It differs from the iPod in a few key ways:
- It can play more audio formats (FLAC, OGG, etc)
- Its visual appearance can be customized
- For example, this theme adds the release year to the While Playing Screen.
- When connected to a computer, it appears as a simple USB drive. One can just drag-and-drop music files onto it. In contrast, the original firmware requires either iTunes or macOS Finder to copy music to the device.
Controls
The controls on Rockbox differ from the original firmware.
