Chapter 1. Introduction 9

1. Introduction

1.1. Welcome

This is the manual for Rockbox. Rockbox is an open source ﬁrmware replacement

for a growing number of digital audio players. Rockbox aims to be considerably more

functional and eﬃcient than your device’s stock ﬁrmware while remaining easy to use

and customisable. Rockbox is written by users, for users. Not only is it free to use, it

is also released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which means that it will

always remain free both to use and to change.

Rockbox has been in development since 2001, and receives new features, tweaks and

ﬁxes each day to provide you with the best possible experience on your digital audio

player. A major goal of Rockbox is to be simple and easy to use, yet remain very

customisable and conﬁgurable. We believe that you should never need to go through a

series of menus for an action you perform frequently. We also believe that you should

be able to conﬁgure almost anything about Rockbox you could want, pertaining to

functionality. Another top priority of Rockbox is audio playback quality – Rockbox,

for most models, includes a wider range of sound settings than the device’s original

ﬁrmware. A lot of work has been put into making Rockbox sound the best it can, and

improvements are constantly being made. All models have access to a large number

of plugins, including many games, applications, and graphical “demos”. You can load

diﬀerent conﬁgurations quickly for diﬀerent purposes (e.g. a large font for in your car,

diﬀerent sound settings for at home). Rockbox features a very wide range of languages,

and all supported models also have the ability to talk to you – menus can be voiced and

ﬁlenames spelled out or spoken.

1.2. Getting more help

This manual is intended to be a comprehensive introduction to the Rockbox ﬁrmware.

There is, however, more help available. The Rockbox website at http://www.rockbox.org/

contains very extensive documentation and guides written by members of the Rockbox

community and this should be your ﬁrst port of call when looking for further help.

If you cannot ﬁnd the information you are searching for on the Rockbox website there

are a number of support channels you should have a look at. You can try the Rockbox

forums located at http://forums.rockbox.org/. The mailing lists are another option, and

can be found at http://www.rockbox.org/mail/. From that page you can subscribe to

the lists and browse the archives. To search the list archives simply use the search ﬁeld

that is located on the left side of the website. Furthermore, you can ask on IRC. The

The Rockbox manual (version rUnversioned directory-150809) Archos Studio/Player

Chapter 1. Introduction 10

main channel for Rockbox is #rockbox on irc://irc.freenode.net. Many helpful developers

and users are usually around. Just join and ask your question (don’t ask to ask!) – if

someone knows the answer you’ll usually get an answer pretty quickly. More information

including IRC logs can be found at http://www.rockbox.org/irc/. We also have a web

client so that you can join the Rockbox IRC channel without needing to install additional

software onto your computer.

If you think you have found a bug please make sure it actually is a bug and is still

present in the most recent version of Rockbox. You should try to conﬁrm that by using

the above mentioned support channels ﬁrst. After that you can submit that issue to our

tracker. Refer to section E(page 102) for details on how to use the tracker.

1.3. Naming conventions and marks

We have some conventions (especially for naming) that are intended to be consistent

throughout this manual.

Manufacturer and product names are formatted in accordance with the standard rules

of English grammar, e.g. “Archos playback is currently unsupported”. Manufacturer and

model names are proper nouns, and thus are written beginning with a capital letter.

This manual has some parts that are marked with icons on the margin to help you

ﬁnding important parts or parts you could skip. The following icons are used:

Note: This indicates a note. A note starts always with the text “Note”. In order to b

make ﬁnding notes easier each one is accompanied by an icon in the margin as here.

Notes are used to mark useful information that may help you to get the most out of

Rockbox.

Warning: This is a warning. In contrast to notes mentioned above, a warning should !

be taken more seriously. Whereas ignoring notes will not cause any serious damage,

ignoring warnings could cause serious damage to your player. You really should read the

warnings, especially if you are new to Rockbox.

This icon marks a section that is intended especially for the blind and visually im- ¸

paired. As they cannot read the manual in the same way sighted people do we have

added some additional descriptions. If you are not blind or visually impaired you can

probably completely skip these blocks. To make this easier, there is an icon shown in

the margin on the right.

Links to the wiki are abbreviated by the name of the wiki page. Those names are still

linked so you can simply follow them like any other link in this manual. If you want to

access a wiki page manually go to Zhttp://www.rockbox.org/wiki/ and type the page

name in the “Go” box at the top of the page. Links to wiki pages are also indicated by

the symbol Zin front of the page name.
