Hi,

Well thanks for your assistance. And I am sorry about that other posting
with the same problem. That was my brother posting for me. I was having
trouble with my subscription at the beginning. I think I had been sending
my messages to the wrong address. But I will tell you the problem I was
having is when I installed the software I was having trouble witht eh last
step o that bootloader installation. When reading the adobe form of the
instructions I was having trouble find out where to put the dash in the last
line which included bootloader-video.bin. And if I understand you I can put
the folder I have with music and just do a copy and paste onto the drive of
the ipod? It doesn't have to be in any other folder then the one I copy
over? Thanks once again

Sharonf

Hello again,

Do you mind sharing what was wrong, as it seems another user has a similar
problem with the language.
For playing music, Rockbox just reads the contents of the hard disk, not the
iTunes database. While it is possible to get Rockbox to do recognise the
music, I believe that it's much easier for a blind person to use the normal
method.
Instead of using iTunes to copy the music to your iPod, all you have to do
is copy the folder and the music files over to the iPod drive using your
operating system.
You may also wish to remove the music from the iTunes database as well if
you plan on using Rockbox exclusively.
Another feature of Rockbox which I find quite useful is the ability to play
small MP3 clips for folders. If you'd like to do this, check out the wiki
page at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceHowto - specifically
the parts about _dirname.talk

Will.

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome. Well I finally got the voice working. But now I am
trying to figure how to use it. The voice reads general and all those menus
but I can't find how to listen to the music that I have on the ipod. It was
uploaded with the itunes.

Sharon

Hi Sharon, and welcome to the Rockbox mailing list.
I suppose the first course of action would be to check that the voice file
itself is actually in English.
Did you generate the voice file yourself, or did you download a prebuilt
one?
If you created your own, just check the individual mp3 files that were
created to see if it is in English, or if you downloaded the voice, please
tell us where you got it from so somebody else can check.

Hope this helps,
Will.

Hi,
I am new to the list and I am blind, and I installed the rockbox into my
ipod, but I can't get the voice to work. When the ipod turns on the main
screen is in some other language or something. But I you go to the next
level I am told from my sighted husband that it is in English. I am not
sure if I did something wrong when I installed it or what is going on. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Sharon
