Just me in my shed with my iPods...
The day after English classic early morning encounter with Mexico in the football, I'm shrugging off the sleep deprivation in order to tackle an Ipod 7 with Rockbox issues. Instead of solving the issues (database update timeouts) i choose to ignore them and use the stock operating system instead.
With over 200GB capacity on an iFlash quad there is plenty of room on this machine, so I spent the hour of the delayed kick off time to populate the IPod from my ITunes library, knowing that the 7th gen features both Cover Flow and Genius mixes.
However I decide that I don't want to look at the perfectly fine but possibly a tad boring Now Playing screen, and instead opt to put some family photos on the Ipod and use the slideshow feature instead.
Also features my mother again, to avoid copyright issues.
I don't get it quite right in the video but there should be enough here to inspire you to have a go yourself. And I think I will post a follow up of the IPod in action next week, if you can bear the tension (and i expect you probably can).
I said MusicBee when i meant Rockbox, but luckily nobody noticed.
