[edit] iPodLinux not supporting shuffle for the obvious lack of display reason

I wonder, the iPodLinux project originally aimed for compatibility with more audio formats, and I don't think the lack of display stands in the way for this. But the lack of a GCC compiler for the Shuffle's DSP56000 core is a solid reason. --ReCover 19:24, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh?

I moved the following section here, because it is highly unlikely and seems like a joke to me.

Ported Doom engine, dubbed iDoom, which is a complete port of the official source code released by Id software. It has dithered graphics and a scaled down screen to fit the iPod

It's true. - Xed 22:55, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Podzilla 2

The new version is now the official release, the name may have changed, but the feature mentioned, modularity, is in operation, and several of the filenames on their wiki call the current version #2

[edit] More Linux

Does anyone know of any plans to create a linux-based interface for the Sony NWA series? The connect player's just been dropped due to its appaling programming and compatibility, and I was wondering if Open Source would be the solution, rather than having to conform to the SonicStage?

Thanks. -A

[edit] iPodlinux.org down

Has anyone else noticed this? I keep getting an SQL error whenever I try to acess anything 209.104.229.66 16:16, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

 It is down for my friend and me too :( 68.104.205.76 03:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This is all very old information.

All of this needs to be updated. There have been multiple significant changes since the last update. Many of them are highly important regarding both the current status and future plans of the project. I will discuss this with the iPodLinux community soon and we will draw up a new article for Wikipedia so that users will be able to see just how far the iPodLinux project has progressed.

[edit] Nano compatibility?

i tried installing linux to my nano a while back, using several methods as described by the members of the ipodlinux forums, but i could not get past the blue text upon booting the ipod in linux. does anyone else encounter this problem, and what are the sucess rates with nanos? 198.166.226.14 09:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

-||not the author from above:||- The newly added link "An instalation guide for beginners" has a flaw. Under the number 9, he sais to put 2 files in the ipod hard drive, but not in any folder. Later under the 19th line, he sais you shoulden't have these files on the hard drive. I tried contacting the author, but coulden't find any info. What to do?

    Uh I got it working a while back on like 5 different nanos (mine, my 2 bros', and 2 friends'). 
  Arn't there like 3 different install tutorials? 68.104.205.76 03:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
