HI Paul,
If the version of Rockbox you have installed is fairly recent. there
will be a file inside the .rockbox folder called rockbox-info.txt.
That has some information about the build you have installed. On about
the seventh line down, it has the version.

The most recent and recommended builds to use are on this page:
http://build.rockbox.org/
There is a large build table before the links to download rockbox for
your device. That page could be quite difficult to navigate with a
screen reader, so here is a direct link to the most recent Rockbox
version for your iAudio:
http://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-iaudiox5/rockbox.zip

Regards,
Barry
