\chapter{The Main Menu}
|
|
|
|
\section{Introducing the Main Menu}
|
|
\screenshot{main_menu/images/ss-main-menu}{The main menu}{}
|
|
The \setting{Main Menu} is the screen from which the rest of the Rockbox functions can be
|
|
accessed. It is used for a variety of functions, which are detailed below.
|
|
All options in Rockbox can be controlled via the \setting{Main Menu}.
|
|
|
|
To enter the \setting{Main Menu},
|
|
\opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD}{press the \ButtonMode\ button.}
|
|
\opt{RECORDER_PAD}{press the \ButtonFOne\ button.}
|
|
\opt{PLAYER_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD,ONDIO_PAD}{press the \ButtonMenu\ button.}
|
|
\opt{IAUDIO_X5_PAD}{press the \ButtonRec\ button.}
|
|
|
|
All settings are stored on the unit. However, Rockbox does not spin up
|
|
the disk solely for the purpose of saving settings. Instead, Rockbox will
|
|
save settings when it spins up the disk the next time, for example when
|
|
refilling the MP3 buffer or navigating through the file browser. Changes to
|
|
settings may therefore not be saved unless the \dap\ is shut down safely
|
|
(see \rockref{ref:Safeshutdown}).
|
|
|
|
\section{Navigating the Main Menu}
|
|
\opt{RECORDER_PAD,ONDIO_PAD,IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD,IAUDIO_X5_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD}{

\section {Recent Bookmarks}
|
|
\screenshot{main_menu/images/ss-list-bookmarks}%
|
|
{The list bookmarks screen}{}
|
|
If the \setting{Save a list of recently created bookmarks} option is enabled
|
|
then you can view a list of several recent bookmarks here and select one to
|
|
jump straight to that track. See \rockref{ref:Bookmarkconfigactual}
|
|
for more details on configuring bookmarking in Rockbox.
|
|
\note{This option is off by default.}
|
|
|
|
\section{Sound Settings}
|
|
The \setting{Sound Settings} menu offers a selection of sound properties you may
|
|
change to customize your listening experience. The details of this menu are
|
|
covered in detail in \rockref{ref:configure_rockbox_sound}.
|
|
|
|
\section{General Settings}
|
|
The \setting{General Settings} menu allows you to customize the way Rockbox looks
|
|
and the way it plays music. The details of this menu are covered in detail in
|
|
\rockref{ref:configure_rockbox_general}.
|
|
|
|
\section{Manage Settings}
|
|
The \setting{Manage Settings} option allows the saving and re-loading of user
|
|
configuration settings, browse the hard drive for alternate firmwares, and finally
|
|
to reset your \dap\ back to initial configuration. The details of this menu are
|
|
covered in detail in \rockref{ref:ManageSetting}.
|
|
|
|
\section{Browse Themes}
|
|
This option will display all the currently installed themes on the \dap,
|
|
press \ButtonRight\ to load the chosen theme and apply it.
|
|
|
|
A theme is basically a configuration file, stored in a specific directory,
|
|
that typically changes the WPS
|
|
\opt{h1xx,h300,x5}{and remote WPS}, font used and on some platforms
|
|
additional information such as background image and text colours.
|
|
|
|
There are a number of themes that ship with Rockbox. If none of
|
|
these suit your needs, many more can be downloaded from
|
|
\opt{RECORDER_PAD}{\wikilink{WpsArchos}}%
|
|
\opt{h1xx}{\wikilink{WpsIriverH100}}%
|
|
\opt{h300,ipodcolor}{\wikilink{WpsIriverH300}}%
|
|
\opt{ipodvideo}{\wikilink{WpsIpod5g}}%
|
|
\opt{ipodnano}{\wikilink{WpsIpodNano}}%
|
|
\opt{ipodmini}{\wikilink{WpsIpodMini}}%
|
|
\opt{x5}{\wikilink{WpsIaudioX5}}%
|
|
.
|
|
Some of the downloads from this site will actually be standalone WPS files,
|
|
others will be full-blown themes.
|
|
|
|
\note{Themes do not have to be purely visual. It is quite possible to create
|
|
a theme that switches between audio configurations for use in the car, with
|
|
headphones and when connected to an external amplifier. See
|
|
\rockref{ref:CreateYourOwnWPS} for more details.

\section{\label{ref:playlistoptions}Playlist Options}
|
|
This menu allows you to work with playlists. Playlists can either be created
|
|
automatically by playing a file in a directory directly, which will cause all
|
|
of the files in that directory to be placed in the playlist, or they can be
|
|
created by hand using the \setting{File Menu} (see \rockref{ref:Filemenu})
|
|
or using the \setting{Playlist Options} menu. Both automatic and manually
|
|
created playlists can be edited using this menu.
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Create Playlist:]
|
|
Rockbox will create a playlist with all tracks in the current directory
|
|
and all subdirectories. The playlist will be created one folder level ``up''
|
|
from where you currently are.
|
|
|
|
\item[View Current Playlist:]
|
|
Displays the contents of the playlist currently stored in memory.
|
|
|
|
\item[Save Current Playlist:]
|
|
Saves the current dynamic playlist, excluding queued tracks, to the
|
|
specified file. If no path is provided then playlist is saved to current
|
|
directory (see \rockref{ref:Playlistsubmenu}).
|
|
|
|
\item[Recursively Insert Directories: ]
|
|
If set to \setting{On}, then when a directory is inserted or queued into a
|
|
dynamic playlist, all subdirectories will also be inserted. If set to \setting{Ask},
|
|
Rockbox will prompt the user about whether to include subdirectories.
|
|
Options: \setting{Off}, \setting{Ask}, \setting{On}
|
|
|
|
\item[Warn When Erasing Dynamic Playlist: ]
|
|
If set to \setting{Yes}, Rockbox will provide a warning if the user attempts to
|
|
take an action that will cause Rockbox to erase the current dynamic playlist.
|
|
Options: \setting{Yes}, \setting{No}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
\section{Browse Plugins}
|
|
With this option you can load and run various plugins that have been
|
|
written for Rockbox. There are a wide variety of these supplied with
|
|
Rockbox, including several games, some impressive demos and a number of
|
|
utilities. A detailed description of the different plugins is to be found in
|
|
\rockref{ref:plugins}.
|
|
|
|
\section{\label{ref:Info}Info}
|
|
This option shows RAM buffer size, battery voltage level and estimated time
|
|
remaining, disk total space and disk free space.
|
|
\opt{player}{Use the MINUS and PLUS keys to step through several
|
|
pages of information.}
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Rockbox Info:]
|
|
Displays some basic system information. This is, from top to bottom,
|
|
the amount of memory Rockbox has available for storing music (the buffer),
|
|
battery status, hard disk size and the amount of free space on the disk.
|
|
|
|
\item[Version:]
|
|
Software version and credits display.
|
|
|
|
\item[Debug (Keep Out!):]
|
|
This submenu is intended to be used \emph{only} by Rockbox developers.
|
|
It shows hardware, disk, battery status and other technical information.
|
|
\warn{It is not recommended that users access this menu unless instructed to
|
|
do so in the course of fixing a problem with Rockbox. If you think you have
|
|
messed up your settings by use of this menu please try to reset \emph{all}
|
|
settings before asking for help.}

\section{Shutdown}
|
|
This menu option saves the Rockbox configuration and turns off the hard
|
|
drive before shutting down the machine. For maximum safety this procedure
|
|
is recommended when turning off the \dap. (There is a very small risk
|
|
of hard disk corruption otherwise.) See \rockref{ref:Safeshutdown}
|
|
for more details.

\section{Quick Menu}
|
|
Whilst not strictly part of the \setting{Main Menu}, it is worth noting that a few
|
|
of the more commonly used settings are available from the \setting{Quick Menu}.
|
|
The \setting{Quick Menu} screen is accessed by holding the
|
|
\opt{RECORDER_PAD}{\ButtonFTwo}
|
|
\opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD}{\ButtonMode}
|
|
\opt{IPOD_4G_PAD,IPOD_VIDEO_PAD}{\ButtonMenu}
|
|
\opt{IAUDIO_X5_PAD}{\ButtonRec}
|
|
key, and it allows rapid access to the \setting{Shuffle} and \setting{Repeat} modes
|
|
(\rockref{ref:PlaybackOptions})
|
|
and the \setting{Show Files} option (\rockref{ref:ShowFiles}).
