How would I?
« on: October 08, 2008, 07:49:35 PM »
How would I edit rockbox so that while I am listening to songs, I got go to the menu and still be listneing (Like the sansa firmware) Thats one of the reasons I uninstalled it because you can't multi-task.

Your question is not exactly clear, but I am assuming that you are asking how to access the Main Menu while listening to music.  You can find the answer here:

http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch5.html#x8-840005.1

In the future, please use descriptive titles for your threads, as our posting guidelines require.

Yes sorry. I was inbetween Facebook, Typing, and playing an Exteel Match. Was rushed.
I mean being able to listen Music/Radio and stuff while browsing menu's and settings and all.

Where in the link listed above am I supposed to find what I am looking for? (Browsed through and was confused on where it would be)

The very first paragraph.  Specifically, the third sentence, which explains how to access the Main Menu.

And could you PLEASE slow down and proofread your posts?

1.  Play music.

2.  While the music is playing, enter the Main Menu as described in the section of the manual that I linked you to.

It really is no more difficult than that.

Ah ok. Thank you for your great service. I did not see what you meant as in there it just says "Hit submenu to go to menu" nothing about it still playing music.

Is there a way to edit the source so you can just press normal menu?

though i think you already figured it out, this link is more specific about getting to the menu during playback: http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch4.html#x7-510004.3.1

can't help w/ editing the source. :(

There is no distinct menu button, only the sub-menu key, so you will not be able to do this.

If you are curious about the keys on the Sansa, consider reading the manual, as it lists all the keys.
