5.9. FM Radio
Figure 5.4.: The FM radio screen
This menu option switches to the radio screen. The FM radio has the ability to remember
station frequency settings (presets). Since stations and their frequencies vary depending
on location, it is possible to load these settings from a file. Such files should have the
filename extension .fmr and reside in the directory /.rockbox/fmpresets (note that
this directory does not exist after the initial Rockbox installation; you should create it
manually). To load the settings, i.e. a set of FM stations, from a preset file, just “play”
it from the file browser. Rockbox will “remember” and use it in PRESET mode until
another file has been selected. Some preset files are available here: ZFmPresets.
It is also possible to record the FM radio while listening. To start recording, enter the
FM radio settings menu with Long Select and then select Recording. At this point,
you will be switched to the Recording Screen. Further information on Recording
can be found in section 5.8 (page 41).
