Hi again, Sarai.

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!
