Hope:

I have been helping off-list another list member, who has also become a good
friend, and I have created a straightforward ten-step instruction set for
installing Rockbox on the iPod and making it talk. If you like, please
write to my personal address at kbrolin65_at_gmail.com, and I will forward it
to you.

There are a few tricks not obvious from the Rockbox site that are easy to
overlook unless you've done the process several times.

I use the 30 GB iPod Video, myself.

> If you have a Rock box voice pacage for the Ipod 30 gig I would be
grateful if you could send it to me. We have been trying for two weeks to
load everything from Rockbox.org. We have followed the instructions.
Everything seems to be there the voice is in the lang file. It will not
work. For some reason some of the Rock Box members have been rude to me and
said the we did not follow the instructions. I am not tech savvy and become
frustrated when something does not work. I do not have time to keep fooling
around with this. If I can not get it working I guess I will give it to my
kids.
