The main reason to try to get linux to run on an ipod is to allow the decoding of other formats (mpc, flac, etc). Unfortunatley, no one has been able to get these to decode in realtime yet.

It's quite old, and never really had a (working) purpose. I'll leave my iPod as it is.

If I could get mpc to decode on the ipod, i'd do it in an instance.
