This is not just for iPods. Works on many of the other brands too.

I have this loaded on my iRiver H340. It's only drawback, is the codecs aren't completely optimized, so battery life suffers. As in, the stock code runs for 16+ hours, rockbox runs for 5-7hours.

However, it does add wave recording, which natively the H3xx didn't have. Some people are adding a (guitar/chromatic) tuner, and there are metronomes and such that are also useful. Alot of people are just using it to make their own templates for the playback screen, or the games it offers, but I like the fact that it has support for most major (& freely available) codecs.

Just 6 months ago, it only support 1 brand of mp3 players, but once they ported it to the iRiver, that opened it up to far more generic players based on Motorola or ARM processors. Pretty cool...
