It runs on a wide range of players: * Apple: 1st through 5.5th generation iPod, iPod Mini and 1st generation iPod Nano (not the Shuffle, 2nd/3rd gen Nano, Classic or Touch) * Archos: Jukebox 5000, 6000, Studio, Recorder, FM Recorder, Recorder V2 and Ondio * Cowon: iAudio X5, X5V, X5L, M5, M5L, M3 and M3L * iriver: H100, H300 and H10 series * Olympus: M:Robe 100 * SanDisk: Sansa c200, e200 and e200R series (not the v2 models) * Toshiba: Gigabeat X and F series (not the S series Customization Subject to the limitations of each particular platform, the appearance of Rockbox can be customised in various ways. Fonts and foreground and background colours can be added and selected, while a simple markup language can be used to create themes for the menu and while-playing screens. These themes can include background and other images (such as icons), plus various formats for filenames, ID3 tags, file progress, time and system information. Album art (though rudimentary -- it does not support embedded album art and only the BMP file format) has become official as of November 11, 2007. Rockbox has been essentially a file-tree based player, to which folders could be dragged and dropped, then navigated by folder structure. More recent versions, however, have included a database feature which allows the player to compile information from the files' ID3 tags. The user can then navigate the files using this database regardless of file structure. Rockbox features Beside the ability of playing and recording audio files, Rockbox offers many playback enhancements that other firmwares may not have implemented yet. Listed below are a handful of these features. * Gapless playback * Crossfading * Replay Gain[3] * 5 band fully parametric equalizer[3] * Crossfeed[3] * OTF ("on the fly") playlists * True random shuffle (fresh randomly shuffled list every time) * Custom UI themes * Stereo recording to WAV/AIFF/WavPack (lossless) and MP3[4] (supporting devices) * FM radio, including FM recording (supporting devices) * Remote control (supporting devices) * Digital SPDIF input/output (supporting devices) * Last.fm support (even on players lacking RTC) * Cue sheet support * Changeable selector bar * Album art[5] * Sleep timer Ipod with Rock box [spoiler][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htVBWsAj5U0[/youtube][/spoiler] you can also play gameboy in your ipod and you can customize your themes...
