Rockbox

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.
