PART 2 THE ROCKBOX INTERFACE.
1 YOUR JUKEBOX Throughout this manual, the buttons on the Jukebox are labelled according to the pictures below. There are minor cosmetic differences between Jukebox Recorder models, but the buttons are in approximately the same position whatever the model.
2 FILE BROWSER Recorder file browser Player file browser The file browser helps you navigate through the files on your Jukebox, entering folders and executing the default action on each file. To help us differentiate files, each file format is displayed with an icon.
2.2 FILE MENU Recorder file menu Player file menu This menu operates on the file that was selected in the browser at the time ON+PLAY was pressed to enter it. It can also be accessed by holding down the PLAY key for a short while. It offers the following options: Open with: Runs a viewer plugin on the file.
Queue next: Queue track(s) immediately after current playing track. Queue last: Queue track(s) at end of playlist. You can insert a track, directory or playlist even if nothing is currently playing. In this case, a new playlist is created with only the selected tracks and then play is started.

PART 3 THE MAIN MENU.

PART 4 CONFIGURING ROCKBOX.
1 SOUND SETTINGS Recorder sound settings Player sound settings This menu offers a selection of sound properties you may change to improve your sound experience. Volume The sound volume your music is played at. Although settable range is 0-100%, many units don't produce audible output below 40%.
Auto Volume (Recorder only) Auto volume is a feature that automatically lowers the volume on loud parts, and then slowly restores the volume to the previous level over a time interval.
For most users, the defaults should provide an improvement in sound quality and can be safely left as they are. For reference, the defaults Rockbox uses are: Setting Value MDB Strength 50dB MDB Harmon.
2 GENERAL SETTINGS Recorder general settings Player general settings 2.1 PLAYBACK OPTIONS This menu is for configuring settings related to MP3 playback Shuffle Select shuffle ON/OFF. This alters how Rockbox will select which next song to play. Repeat Repeat modes are Off/One/All.

_norom firmware files. The vast majority of Jukeboxes all have the same boot ROM content, differentiation comes later by flash content. Rockbox identifies this boot ROM with a CRC value of 0x222F in the hardware info screen. Some recorders have the boot ROM disabled (it might be unprogrammed) and start directly from a flash mirror at address zero.

6 FEATURES WE WILL NOT IMPLEMENT This is a list of Feature Requests we get repeatedly that we simply cannot do. View it as the opposite of a TODO! Record to WAV (uncompressed) or MP3pro format! The recording hardware (the MAS) does not allow us to do this Crossfade between tracks! Crossfading would require two mp3 decoders, and we only have one.
Add scandisk -like features! It would be a very slow operation that would drain the batteries and take a lot of useful ram for something that is much better and faster done when connected to a host computer. CBR recording! The MP3 encoding hardware does not allow this.
