What problems did you have with rockbox? What version where you using?

I have no problems with rockbox. The default build is a bit limited to
what it can do, you can download custom builds from the forums or
build it yourself with your own patches pretty easily enuff.

It may look ugly but if you download some of the themes it makes it pretty :)

Here's some rockbox themes web site:

Its got alot of games to (if you like those) it can play mpeg videos
(even on a nano which was interesting).

The battery life is my only complaint :)
