Applying a non touch interface to a touch phone was never gonna be pretty. For button driven phones its still the best around. The touch should catch up next year.

how do you select mutable tracks

Hold Ctrl and click each one you want, or just press Ctrl + A and select the lot. It imports to iTunes too so it saves you the effort.

If it works I'll put up some screenshots.


EDIT: 80MB download at http://www.iphodroid.com/ if you wanna try something different.

what does this do Drew

Lets you use the Google operating system or the iPod operating system - the interface is different and if you're used to the Apple interface I'd keep with it. Not recommended yet because WiFi doesn't work so well - it supposedly cuts out at any moment - and the power management is crap (it can't be helped yet) because it hasn't been configured for drivers, so you'd get a good hour from it if that.

That's why I'm not running it. Yet.

Oh and you need to be running a Mac or Linux to install it from. If you're not using either (I use Linux) then you can't install it anyway.
