iPod Hacks
« on: 7 September 2002, 19:41 »
Looks like a bunch of people weren't happy with the default activities of their iPod and decided to add onto it... iPod Hacks is a website where they discuss various hacks.

One of their most recent articles involved taking a Coke-drowned iPod and bringing it back to life (sadly, the hard drive was toast).

So, what do you think?

Rip it open and post the pictures of the insides here, please.  

Did you get it engraved?

I dunno about ripping it open, although I would like to see the inside.  Theirs no screws or anything, the only way I can see it opening is to take a screw driver or something to the side and pop it open, but I dunno about all that.  I didnt get it engraved, seemed like a waste of time.  But if anyone could point out an easier way to open it up im down.

I can't get xtunes to compile OR launch from rpm.

And the guys at the site are no help.

As for the iPod + Ogg vorbis, the iPod does have firmware upgrades (applied through iTunes) that allow it to do new things. go to the iPod website and click on 'Feedback'. Hopefully iTunes will have ogg support next release.
