Yeah, Apple changed the hashing algorithm again and started issuing DMCA 
takedown notices for sites that disclose information about the hash, 
apparently.

I really like my Mini and if I could get Rockbox to work with my in-car 
player as well as my iHome, I'd ditch the Apple firmware permanently.  My 
next mp3 player will probably not be an iPod (or from Apple) because of 
the heavy-handed tactics they're using.
