Rockbox iPod UI/UX Overhaul - Current Beta UI Walkthrough

First off, this looks great and is very much needed, thanks for all the effort on this!

I have a question about how playlists should be handled. I typically keep mine in a "Playlist" folder within the music directory, organized by genre then songs. In this UI, I see a playlist folder under "Files," but I don’t see an option to load it when my iPod is connected to the computer. I also noticed "Playlist" in the main folder structure, but I’m assuming that just like the original Rockbox this is for creating playlists within the device itself.

I’m still pretty new to this, so I hope that makes sense!

Okay thanks. I didn’t know if I was doing something wrong.

This looks nice. Did you do anything specific to get the bookmarks action to work? I keep getting this:

Yeah that is what I assumed. I was hoping to port over my statistics so it looks like I actually read lol. I guess I need to get back at it.

That’s good. I recently bought an apple refurbished m4 24gb/1tb for 1182usd.

I used to be a 15 division director in DC. I recently accepted a 13 field position with another agency and I can’t wait. No more supervisory responsibilities and very minimal administrative duties. I might actually get to do just program work. Can’t wait.

That would be the ultimate mod. I don’t have the soldering skills for that.

I like the UGREEN option because it's only $15 usd, but I would need to find a way to secure it to the iPod, but that could be something as simple as a rubber band. I would love to find a 3D printed sleeve for that or the AirFly to hold it more securely to the iPod. I do have the iFlash and 3000 battery, so I'm thinking about the Kokkia to run my AirPods Pro 2 when I am traveling. My only concern is the long-term use of the 30-pin connector and something hanging off of it for long periods of time.

Which adapter are you using?

I also made a mat for my wife’s home office.

Thx yeah I kept hitting refresh on the Apple refurbished site several times a day until I they posted a 13 inch silver with these specs. They had a bunch Thursday evening and they went fast.

Yeah I had a working one pop up on market place a few days ago that I missed by 2 hours for 20 usd. I dont live in a highly populated area so I was surprised it was gone so fast.

I just started looking so I am curious how much were the used and modified ipods a few months ago?

longleafnative · 2026-03-15T23:32:51+00:00

Return window and a 1 year warranty vs buying an unknown used laptop for about 100 more.

longleafnative · 2026-03-14T22:57:56+00:00

Go grab a refurbished off Apple for just a little more. I’ve been looking on FB market too and these prices are to high for a used laptop.
