\chapter{The Main Menu}
|
|
\section{\label{ref:main_menu}Introducing the Main Menu}
|
|
\screenshot{main_menu/images/ss-main-menu}{The main menu}{}
|
|
The \setting{Main Menu} is the screen from which all of the Rockbox functions can be
|
|
accessed. To enter the \setting{Main Menu},
|
|
\nopt{ONDIO_PAD}{press the \ActionStdMenu{} button.}%
|
|
\opt{ONDIO_PAD}{hold the \ButtonMenu{} 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 \setting{File Browser}.
|
|
Changes to settings may therefore not be saved unless the \dap{} is shut down
|
|
safely (see \reference{ref:Safeshutdown}).
|
|
|
|

\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 \reference{ref:Bookmarkconfigactual}
|
|
for more details on configuring bookmarking in Rockbox.
|
|
\note{This entry is not shown in the \setting{Main Menu} when the option is off
|
|
and the option is off by default.}
|
|
|
|
\section{Files}
|
|
Browse the files on your \dap{} (see \reference{ref:file_browser}).
|
|
|
|
\section{Database}
|
|
Browse by the meta-data in your audio files (see \reference{ref:database}).
|
|
|
|
\section{Now Playing/Resume Playback}
|
|
Go to the \setting{While Playing Screen} and resume if music playback is
|
|
stopped or paused and there is something to resume (see \reference{ref:WPS}).
|
|
|
|
\section{Settings}
|
|
|
|
The \setting{Settings} menu allows to set or adjust many parameters that affect
|
|
the way your \dap{} works. There are many submenus for different parameter
|
|
areas. Every time you are setting a value of a parameter, and that value is
|
|
selected from a list of some predefined available values, you can press
|
|
\ActionStdContext, and the selection cursor will jump to the default value for
|
|
the parameter. You can then confirm or cancel the value. This is useful if you
|
|
have changed the value of the parameter from the default to some other value and
|
|
would like to restore the default value.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Sound Settings}
|
|
The \setting{Sound Settings} menu offers a selection of sound properties you may
|
|
change to customise your listening experience. The details of this menu are covered
|
|
in \reference{ref:configure_rockbox_sound}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{General Settings}
|
|
The \setting{General Settings} menu allows you to customise the way Rockbox looks
|
|
and the way it plays music. The details of this menu are covered in
|
|
\reference{ref:configure_rockbox_general}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Manage Settings}
|
|
The \setting{Manage Settings} option allows the saving and re-loading of user
|
|
configuration settings, browsing the hard drive for alternate firmwares, and finally
|
|
resetting your \dap{} back to initial configuration.
|
|
%
|
|
\opt{MASCODEC}{This menu also allows the user to load different versions of the
|
|
Rockbox firmware.}

\section{\label{ref:playlistoptions}Playlist}
|
|
This menu allows you to work with playlists. Playlists can be created in
|
|
three ways. Playing a file in a directory causes all the files in it
|
|
to be placed in a playlist. Playlists can be created manually by
|
|
either using the \setting{Context Menu} (see \reference{ref:Contextmenu}) or using
|
|
the \setting{Playlist} menu. Both automatically 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 sub-directories. The playlist will be created one directory 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 \reference{ref:Playlistsubmenu}).
|
|
|
|
\item[Playlist Catalog:]
|
|
The \setting{Playlist Catalog} provides a simple interface to maintain
|
|
several playlist (see \reference{label:WorkingWithPlaylists}).
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
\section{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
|
|
\reference{ref:plugins}.
|
|
|
|
\section{\label{ref:Info}System}
|
|
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).
|
|
The battery status.
|
|
\opt{multivolume}{%
|
|
Memory size and amount of free space on the two data volumes, this info is
|
|
given seperately for internal memory (\emph{Int}) and for a plugged in
|
|
memory card
|
|
\opt{ondio}{(\emph{MMC})}
|
|
\opt{sansa}{(\emph{MSD})}.
|
|
}%
|
|
\nopt{multivolume}{Hard disk size and the amount of free space on the disk.}
|
|
|
|
\item[Version:]
|
|
Software version and credits display.
|
|
|
|
\item[Sleep Timer:]
|
|
The \setting{Sleep Timer} powers off your \dap{} after playing for a given
|
|
time. It can be set from \setting{Off} to 5 hours in 5 minute steps.
|
|
The \setting{Sleep Timer} is reset on boot.
|
|
\opt{alarm}{Using this option disables the \setting{Wake up alarm}.}
|
|
|
|
\item[Debug (Keep Out!):]
|
|
This sub menu 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.}

\opt{player}{
|

\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 \reference{ref:Safeshutdown}
|
|
for more details.

\section{\label{ref:QuickScreen}Quick Screen}
|
|
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 Screen}.
|
|
The \setting{Quick Screen} screen is accessed with \ActionStdQuickScreen{}
|
|
and exited with \ActionQuickScreenExit.
|
|
It allows rapid access to the \setting{Shuffle} and \setting{Repeat}
|
|
modes (\reference{ref:PlaybackOptions}) and the \setting{Show Files}
|
|
option (\reference{ref:ShowFiles}).
