Have you read the Rockbox Manual?

[AlexP]

Yes, Ive read the entire manual and refer to it often (Ipod 5G).  It could be a little more complete but I'm assuming it is still a work in progress. For example, how do you delete a bookmark?  A nice developer provided the answer.

The manual, as the rest of Rockbox is, is done by volunteers.  Now you know how to delete a bookmark, perhaps you could write it up nicely for the manual

The writeup would be fun and quite simple but I have difficulty in understanding how to get it integrated with the actual manual on the Rockbox site.  I found no simple instructions as to how to accomplish this.

It is permissible (but obviously less helpful) to just submit a simple text file with the changes to Flyspray and some other nice, kind person will convert to LaTex.

Any update is better than none at all.

"I have referred to specific sections but not read or skimmed the entire manual."

that's what i chose cause i basically used it to get rockbox up and running and after that i aint used it to much but i have checked it out to find out how to delete stuff from within rockbox which i could not figure out at all as i expected there to be a specific section within the main rockbox menu's but there was not as i found out you have to hold down the big circle button in the center of the Sansa e250 player to access that stuff.

Of course not, I'm a system administrator.

My only player is not supported (e260v2) so I haven't fully read the manual yet. I have read parts (manly installation and Games)

[astro2]

i have skimmed it, but like a typical guy i couldn't be bothered to fully read it, especially on a comp, my eyes would go square

and I only know of the program due to following a youtube vid trying to get a emulator to work i.e play mario bros on my ipod

now thats its on, i'm not sure if i want it, CPU is too weak to play a simple game, there seems to be bugs on it still, not all controls are that straight-forward eg. if i'm viewing a picture i can't figure how to get back to the menu

and i dont' know how to boost the volume for songs

whats so good about it??

Rockbox is about audio playback; games are not the main concern of the project.

If you actually take the time to read the manual, you'll learn how to work the various plugins and adjust the audio to suit your needs. (And if you don't want to read it on-screen, then download the PDF manual and print it.)

I voted I have not read or referred to the manual, but I am aware that the manual exists.

I'm not a genius by any means, but I'm very well technically inclined, with consumer electronics, audio electronics, and computers - so if I need to reference a manual to find out how to operate a simple device for the simple and specific uses I have for it, I don't bother with that device. Marketing to the average consumer means making it just that intuitive.

I haven't had a need to read the manual yet.

Marketing to the average consumer means making it just that intuitive.

I wouldn't say that Rockbox is marketed for the average consumer, rather the more demanding one.

[GodEater]

I wouldn't say it's "marketed" at all

[psycho_maniac]

I said this before but i was here when rockbox first came to the h120 so i learned most of the settings and stuff. but  recently rockbox has gotten more complex and the other day i wanted to learn how to use a-b repeat and i actually learned on my own how to use it on the gigabeat haha

[stevio]

SO thats why ive been thinking of getting rid of rockbox!!
thank god and and owssaaa !!! now i can install and do every thing the right way, thats probably why my version is so glichy and unexplored, really pissed me of until now.  So can someone please post where to download this manual i tried a few times
