Ipod Nano

So last week I bought an Ipod Nano. Up until now I have been using my good old 20GB Neuros Audio which has worked very well but is a little big to carry around. Someone on AAU was selling an Ipod Nano that he won for 2/3 of the original price so I couldn’t resist and bought it 🙂

My biggest concern with the Ipod has been the lack of proper codec support. I have a large part of my music collection in Ogg and thus it would be unusable with the Ipod Firmware. For a while I have been looking at the Ipod since it’s rather slick and found that one can install rockbox on it and then play a whole range of codecs including ogg and flac.
So after I bought it I installed rockbox and so far it has really blown me away. The crossfade, games support (frozen bubble, pac man, doom? :)) are icings on the cake of a really powerful music player that plays everything worthwhile playing. Rock on! 🙂
