1. Each setting must be on a separate line.
2. Each line has the format “setting: value”.
3. Values must be within the ranges specified in this manual for each setting.
4. Lines starting with # are ignored. This lets you write comments into your config-
uration files.
Example of a configuration file:
Example
volume: 70
bass: 11
treble: 12
balance: 0
time format: 12hour
volume display: numeric
show files: supported
wps: /.rockbox/car.wps
lang: /.rockbox/afrikaans.lng
Note: As you can see from the example, configuration files do not need to contain all
b
of the Rockbox options. You can create configuration files that change only certain set-
tings. So, for example, suppose you typically use the player at one volume in the car,
and another when using headphones. Further, suppose you like to use an inverse LCD
when you are in the car, and a regular LCD setting when you are using headphones. You
could create configuration files that control only the volume and LCD settings. Create a
few different files with different settings, give each file a different name (such as car.cfg,
headphones.cfg, etc.), and you can then use the Browse .cfg files option to quickly
change settings.
A special case configuration file can be used to force a particular setting or settings
every time Rockbox starts up (e.g. to set the volume to a safe level). Format a new
configuration file as above with the required setting(s) and save it into the /.rockbox
directory with the filename fixed.cfg.
13.3.3. The Manage Settings menu
The Manage Settings menu can be found in the Main Menu. The Manage Set-
tings menu allows you to save and load .cfg files.
Browse .cfg Files Opens the File Browser in the /.rockbox directory and displays
all .cfg (configuration) files. Selecting a .cfg file will cause Rockbox to load
the settings contained in that file. Pressing Left or Power will exit back to the
Manage Settings menu. See the Write .cfg files option on the Manage
Settings menu for details of how to save and edit a configuration file.
