Re: [iPod 5G] iPod software OS to RockBox

Did you guys with the 5G iPod find the USB transfers painfully slow? I just dumped a folder with 30GB worth of music and its estimating like 3 hours to copy...

I don't remember how long it took thru iTunes, but I don't think it was this slow...

Yes and even for me with iTunes before RockBox I put 10gb of DJ mixes on my iPod and it took a very looooong time.

It pisses me off to this day that Apple dumped Firewire from the iPods...

Boot the iPod up in regular iPod firmware mode and then plug it in.. It'll use Apple's USB software, which seems to work just fine. Transferring about 2-3 songs a second right now.
