One of the things that gave me a lot of trouble was unlocking the music player. Reverse engineering it was really difficult. I investigated many possible variations, tried searching on https://freemyipod.org for memory register information, but there was nothing for this particular iPod that could help me with the music player. Now I'm trying to unlock Cover Flow, which is something I really liked the first time I saw it on my iPod.

CoverFlow originally was a 3rd party 'mod' that Apple bought at some point. My memory is hazy...
