Rockbox 3.0: turn your old iPod into new h4wtness with free/open software

There’s a new version of Rockbox out — this is the free/open firmware replacement for MP3 players like the iPod, Archos, Sansa and others. It has many awesome features, including playback for more audio formats, like Ogg and FLAC, as well as adding games like Doom to the player. A new spoken interface makes it easier to use if you’re visually impaired, too. A great way to breathe new life into an old iPod or other player — and a great alternative to chucking it out.

Rockbox 3.0 Released. Quietly.,

What is Rockbox? Why should I use it?
