I'm a Rockbox n00b so try not to get to technical. ;D

The link that you posted is to an archived web page that is almost three years old and substantially out of date. Here is a link to the current version of that page:

Will this method work?
I copy and paste the patch code to my downloaded Rockbox source code at the bottom and put the source code into the root of my player's drive (F:/.rockbox)?
I know it's very simple but will it work?
If not try to explain how to patch in the simplest terms you can?
Please, I really want to learn how to patch but don't quite understand it all yet and need a slow start.
MarcGuay:
Nope. Read the page Febs provided a link to - it's a bit more involved than that.

O.k, I see I can use Cygwin or SVN, but installing and using these look very complicated. I am new to this, you know.
Any other methods anyone can describe.
(P.S thanks for all the help and fast replies so far guys)
LambdaCalculus:
If you're using Windows, you have to install Cygwin. It's not very complicated at all, and the Cygwin site has a lot of really good documentation to read:
