  \note{The early V2 models were in fact FM Recorders in disguise,
  so they had the FM radio still mounted. Rockbox enables it if present -
  in case this menu does not show on your unit you can skip this chapter.\\}

  \note{Not all Sansas have a radio receiver. Generally all american models do,
  but european models might not. Rockbox will display the radio menu only if it
  can find a radio receiver in your Sansa.}

\screenshot{main_menu/images/ss-fm-radio-screen}{The FM radio screen}{}
  This menu option switches to the radio screen.
  The FM radio has the ability \opt{recording}{to record and } to
  remember station frequency settings (presets). Since stations and their
  frequencies vary depending on location, it is possible to load these
  settings from a file. Such files should have the filename extension
  \fname{.fmr} and reside in the directory \fname{/.rockbox/fmpresets}
  (note that this directory does not exist after the initial Rockbox
  installation; you should create it manually). To load the settings,
  i.e. a set of FM stations, from a preset file, just 'play' it from the
  file browser. Rockbox will 'remember' and use it in \setting{PRESET} mode
  until another file has been selected. Some preset files are available here:
