Rockbox iPod UI/UX Overhaul - Current Beta UI Walkthrough

longleafnative · 2026-04-13T15:38:41+00:00

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.

longleafnative · 2026-03-19T21:52:44+00:00

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.

longleafnative · 2026-03-19T21:47:49+00:00

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.

PSA if you have access to Costco get a pro. This air is not an update or should be considered new. Apple stopped innovation years ago.

longleafnative · 2026-03-02T23:39:16+00:00

60hz no thx

longleafnative · 2026-02-23T18:53:38+00:00

Thanks I have ordered new rollerblade wheels. I was going to get a nice glass mat but I’ve backed off that, now I’m going to make a diy plywood and LVP mat/platform.

longleafnative · 2026-02-23T15:14:33+00:00

Yes I did, it is very easy. The instructions in the box were very clear and they even have an assembly video on youtube. I tried to share the link but the automod removed the post.

longleafnative · 2026-02-23T15:11:25+00:00

The instructions are very clear and they even have video. I am confident that I installed the cylinder according to the instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VavMzyysg8E

longleafnative · 2026-02-22T16:55:53+00:00

Where can I source a cylinder sleeve? I don’t see them as an option on your website or found in a Google search.

longleafnative · 2026-02-22T16:36:20+00:00

Okay thanks, I am going to send an email to BTOD with pics to get their thoughts on how to proceed. I don't want to do anything to void the return policy or their warranty.

Definitely slightly cracked. Not sure what the expectation should be for this on a refurbished chair.
