If you run Rockbox on your iPod, you will in effect have two players in one. One player is the original Apple player, and the other is Rockbox. They work differently, transfer files differently, and handle file formats differently. For instance, Rockbox can't play any protected content, meaning files that include digital rights management, such as most tracks purchased from the iTunes store, and books from Audible.com. On the other hand, Rockbox plays MP3 files without any gaps between them, something many iPods can't do. You can switch between the two at any time, so you can use whichever one does what you want to do at the moment. The Rockbox main page has links to a lot more information on this topic.
