Hello again

I have a Sony ICF-C1iPMK2 FM/AM Clock radio which also has a docking station
for an iPod.

However, now that I have installed Rockbox on my iPod classic I can only get
it to play tracks if I connect it through the AUDIO IN terminal.
This means that I cannot charge the iPod on the dock while it's playing as
once I put the iPod into the connector it just charges, giving control
to the device it's connected to. But the sony docking station controls are
not communicating with the Rockbox firmware.
So it seems that my only option to play music and use the docking station is
if I connect through the AUDIO IN and use the iPod battery power.

Any ideas on how I can improve the situation?

This comes from the fact that the ipod is formatted without partitioning
