You need to use the iTunestoRockboxDB util found at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ConvertiTunesDBtoTagCache in order to convert the iTunes database into a Rockbox database. It won't affect the iTunes database in any way, but remember that it still won't allow you to play any music purchased on iTunes. To use it, simply run it from the command line, making sure to pass the location of the iTunesDB to it; for example, to run the Windows version: C:\itdb2tc.exe X:\iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesTB (where X is the letter of your iPod) Once it's done, you can use your new database with Rockbox and it'll find all of your music easily. Enjoy!
