As a rockbox user, I can tell you that rockbox is excellent. Its great. It...revolutionized my music expericnce, and it'll make your life more interesting if your into audio. With an equilizer to rival that of the ipod, speech, and great sound quolity, its the alternitive to the zenstone if you want a bit more functionality.
I've got a ipod video 30 gb with rockbox and have had very few problems. Keep in mind rockbox is stil in developement so changes come quickly, but if there are any bugs, there almost alwways remidied.

Seems in pretty well all instances installing this software, well, firmware modification, invalidates the warranty that comes with players. Sure if you do a search Google will come up with the places you can download it. (All this from someone who's not cool enough to own an IPod or any other MP3/AAC player, though I've got a Zenstone.)
