Rockbox is a replacement firmware for the +Jukebox Studio, Recorder and Ondio players made by Archos, the H120/140 +players from iRiver and the Apple iPod Nano etc. It is a complete rewrite of +the software used to make the PDA play and record music, and contains many +features and enhancements not available in the original firmware supplied by +the manufacturer. Among the things that Rockbox has to offer are the +following: + +\begin{itemize} +\item Faster loading than the \playername firmware +\item Uninterrupted playing of MP3 files {--} skipping is very rare +\item More control over how your music is played +\item Built in viewers for several common file types +\item Sophisticated plugin system that allows the Jukebox to run games, +a calendar, a clock, and many other applications. +\item Totally removable. (Removal of Rockbox before returning the +Jukebox for repair under warranty is advised.) +\item Optional voice user interface for complete control without looking +at the screen +\end{itemize} +Rockbox is a complete from scratch rewrite of the \playername software and +uses no fragments of the original firmware. Not only is it free to +use, it's also released under the GNU public license, +which means that it will always remain free to both use and to change. + +\opt{OndioSP,OndioFM}{Although Rockbox also runs on the Archos Ondio series of +flash based MP3 players, this is a recent development, which is not covered +fully in this manual. Most of this manual will, however, apply equally to +Rockbox on the Ondio Jukeboxes. For more details on the Ondio port, please +see the web page: +\url{http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ArchosOndio}.} + +\section{Getting more help} + +This manual is intended to be a comprehensive introduction to the Rockbox +software. There is, however, more help available. The Rockbox website at +\url{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. + +\opt{Archos}{\input{chapter1/archos_choice}} + + +\section{Downloading Rockbox} + +The latest release of the Rockbox software will always be available from +\url{http://www.rockbox.org/download/}. + Windows users may wish to download the self{}-extracting Windows +installer, which works for all Jukebox models, but those wishing to +install manually or using a different operating system should choose +the .zip archive containing the firmware for their model of the +Jukebox. + +\section{Installing Rockbox} + +Using the Windows self installing executable to install Rockbox is the easiest +method of installing the software on your Jukebox. Simply follow the +on{}-screen instructions and select the appropriate drive letter and Jukebox +model when prompted. You can use ``Add / Remove Programs'' to uninstall the +software at a later date. + +For non{}-Windows users and those wishing to install manually from the archive +the procedure is still fairly simple. Connect your \playername to the computer +via USB as described in the manual that came with your \playername. On Windows, +the \playername drive will appear as a drive letter in your ``My Computer'' +folder. Take the file that you downloaded above, and unpack its contents to +your \playername drive. You can do this using a program such as +\url{http://www.info-zip.org/} or \url{http://www.winzip.org/}. + +You will need to unpack all of the files in the archive onto your hard +disk. If this has been done correctly, you will have a file called +\opt{PS}{\fname{archos.mod}} +\opt{Rec,Rec2,FMRec}{\fname{ajbrec.ajz}} +\opt{H120,H340}{\fname{rockbox.iriver}} +in the main folder of your \playername drive, and also a folder called +/\fname{.rockbox}, which contains a number of system files used by the +software. + +\section{Enabling Speech Support (optional)} + +If you wish to use speech support you will also need a language file, +available from +\url{http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceFiles/}. + For the English language, the file is called \fname{english.voice}. +When it has been downloaded, unpack this file and copy it into the +\fname{lang} folder which is inside the /\fname{.rockbox} folder on +your Jukebox. Voice menus are turned on by default. See page +\pageref{ref:Voiceconfiguration} for details on voice settings. + + +\section{Running Rockbox} + +Remove your Jukebox from the computer's USB port. +Unplug any connected power supply and turn the unit off. When you next +turn the unit on, the Jukebox firmware will start to load, and then it +will load Rockbox for you. When you see the Rockbox splash screen, +Rockbox is loaded and ready for use. + +\section{Uninstalling Rockbox} + +If you would like to go back to using the +original \playername software, then connect the \playername up to your computer, +and delete the +\opt{PS}{\fname{archos.mod}} +\opt{Rec,Rec2,FMRec}{\fname{ajbrec.ajz}} +\opt{H120,H340}{\fname{rockbox.iriver}} +If you wish to clean up your disk, you may also wish to delete the +\fname{.rockbox} folder and its contents. Turn the \playername off and on and +the normal \playername software will load. -- cgit v1.2.3
