i got given an ipod today and was wondering about hacks, namely is it possible to install some form of interface other than itunes, and is it possible to hack it so that i can plug it into other computers without having to wipe the memory?

rockbox should do the trick...check faqs, manual and compatibility to make sure it's ok for your ipod model.

what? man, i knew ipods were annoying, but i didn't know they were that much annoying... i never had one. hope that hacking works out for you, otherwise if it's still in the original packaging you might be able to sell it for a decent price on ebay and buy a normal mp3 player instead. |

You can plug it into other computers if you don't sync it, if you manually put the music on then it shouldn't be a problem.
Winamp supports iPods by the way. I'd never touch iTunes, not even with the arm of a dead hooker. What happened to iPods being for bellends anyway? |

Well, give it to me.
I love my ipod and itunes. I use usb sticks/internet to share music with people.

cannot compute
i realized earlier i have no idea of what kind of ipod we're talking about (old, new, ceremonial, junk) so there are too many variables to consider then of course i could spend 4 hours composing a hypothetical technical manual based on fantasy but i'm sure a factual version is googable somewhere but if you must ask, i'd suggest the arstechnica apple forum: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewforum.php?f=19 |

it's an ipod touch with 32GB memory, it's second hand so i don't need to worry about the warranty. If I was spending my own money I would have bought a different brand of mp3 player, but it was a gift so i gots to use it.

it's an ipod touch so i wouldn't fuck with the OS no fucking way. enjoy it instead for its ability to play games, video, all sorts of shitty and/or fun apps & time wasters. calendars. reminders. alarms. $2.99 musical toys. wankery galore. however, to just LOAD music there are a number of programs you can install in your computer, e.g. http://www.geekpolice.net/freeware-d...nes-t18323.htm or http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-3...without-itunes now about itunes itself, it's a horrible piece of shit because it's so dumbed down for use that its innards are, conversely, overly complicated. just so you know, all the actual files are moved to a folder called "music" and then the other folders contain various shits including the "library"-- you can have multiple libraries-- these are XML files that compile sort of meta-playlists out of the music folder (e.g. i have libraries like "CD rips" and "shitty mp3s" and "audiobooks" because the cd rips are good quality, the shitty mp3s are full of embarrassments, and when you start some random music play you don't want to suddenly hear some dude read chapter 3 of "man in the high castle"). anyway, it's atrocious but you can get the hang of it with a little research. i use itunes on mac but winamp/VLC on windows. |

^^^ those podcasts are also available (for free) through the iTunes music store (search 'Brainwashed Radio podcast').
if your samsung, wont load mp3s via iTunes, you could (albeit the long way around), burn them to CD and then rip/load onto yr samsung. ps: been busy. this week even busier. got yr mixes. loved them. listened to them. appreciated much. ontopic: why the hell would you want an iTouch with hacked software? you just got a FREE wifi/iPod with apps for fuck's sake. don't RUIN it! |

your method usually works because most podcasts use mp3 sources. this one uses m4a sources, and that file format is not being recognized by your browser. it's probably not supported by your mp3 player either. you'll have to convert the audio format. |

I'm gonna make a guess that the Brainwashed podcasts appear like empty folders because your Samsung mp3 player doesn't recognise the .m4a format that the Brainwashed podcasts are in... as opposed to the .mp3 podcasts you usually download from other websites? Maybe space's suggestion to get them from the iTunes™ store would work, although I was under the impression that everything in said iTunes™ store was in similar gay formats like .m4a and .m4p, so that wouldn't load on your mp3 player either... but any iSlaves in the know feel free to correct me if that is not the case. Solution: Google for a free .m4a to .mp3 converter, download the podcasts on your computer, convert them to mp3s and then load them onto your mp3 player. T&B: if what Derek suggested about not syncing works for you then I wouldn't mess with it... especially not if it's a touch model. |

it is. a mp4 converter will work, but then again, as I mentioned, so will burning the podcast to to disc. for me, that's a lot less dodgy than finding a freeware converter. then again, all of my devices accept mp4 (greedily). ![]() |

search for ipod hacks on here http://hackaday.com/
just have to say that i can't believe how many of you think is it uncool to own and ipod what the fuck, it is a music player... i hope you all have whatever the coolest music player in the world is to make sure your credibility is right up there with the best. such fucking juvenile shite. grow up children... half of you weren't even born when the first portable music players were released for fuck sake. |
