But today, I RockBoxed my Ipod.
Yes, you read that right.
I got tired of the limited amount of information displayed in the Ipod screen while music is playing. I started Googling. “How can I display the year on my Ipod screen?” Well, the answer, saving you the pain of searching, is that you can’t, using Apple’s Ipod firmware. You can’t customize JACK about the Ipod using Apple’s firmware.
“So,” in the words of the great Tim Allen, “I rewired it.” Rockbox is an open-source music browser which has been ported to numerous players, including most of the Ipods. It allows for customizable themes which let you put ALL SORTS of information into what they call the WPS (While Playing Screen). Including the year. It’s kinda cool. You can also customize the background, which I started to do but haven’t completed yet.
