Community Collab Theme (Vinyl)

So I am making a community theme for rockbox, and want to pass the torch because I have no idea how to make a config file for it. I plan to release the files for this for free to anyone willing to include my username to the patch notes etc.. (with the expectation that everyone involved does as well), the theme (vinyl) is based on a collaboration and some of the artwork that is used must be given proper attribution (I think it's the right thing to do).

I'm not able to continue where I left off, and need help to finish the mission, I wanted it for an iPod classic, but I think it would be cool to port it to any other device. Should any of the individuals listed want me to remove the art used from a prior theme I will do so. It's mainly based on satellite and I pushed my vision as far as my ability allows.

and I did use AI to generate the vinyl used in the photo if the community wishes to replace it fine, the album is meant to go under the vinyl.

First time modding

This is my first time modding I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next. It's not registering on iTunes or Rockbox. Any help would be appreciated.

Random Thought - bypassing the DAC

I have multiple iPods and with the exception of two, all of them use Rockbox. Some models of the iPod can function with a device called a transport unit which bypasses the internal DAC of the iPod and allows it to be used like a music server. These things only work with Apple's software and I can fully understand why.

Recently as an experiment, I hooked up one of my RockBoxed iPods to my Roku device and played audio through Roku's media app. My particular Roku box had a USB connection and I used my 30-pin to USB cable. The iPod was set to USB-Storage mode. The media app displayed my artwork and the sound was transmitted to my amplifier by the HDMI cable.

To the best of my recollection, my Roku was reading the iPod as if it were just a USB drive.

Of course this got me to wondering if RockBox could be used in this way for other audio devices. So far I have not seen any threads on the topic so I thought I would start one.

If anyone out there has any thoughts, please share.
