. A bunch of helpful

developers and users are usually around. Just join and ask – if someone knows the
answer you’ll usually get an answer pretty quickly. More information including IRC
logs can be found at

http://www.rockbox.org/irc/

. We also have a web client for joining

the rockbox IRC channel so there is no need for you to install additional software to
your computer.

If you think you found a bug please make sure it actually is a bug and is still present

in the most recent version of rockbox. You should try to confirm that by using the above
mentioned support channels first. After that you can submit that issue to our tracker.
Refer to section

E

(page

69

) for details on how to use the tracker.

1.3. Naming conventions and marks

We have some conventions especially on naming that are intended to be consistent
throughout this manual.

Manufacturer and product names are formatted in accordance with the standard

rules of English grammar, e.g. “Archos playback is currently unsupported”. Manu-
facturer and model names are proper nouns, and thus are written beginning with a
capital letter.

This manual has some parts that are marked with icons on the margin to help you

finding important parts or parts you could skip. The following icons are used:

Note:

This indicates a note. A note starts always with the text “Note”. For easier finding

b

of notes we have put this an icon in the margin like here. Notes are used to mark
informations that could help you or indicate a possible “weirdness” in rockbox that
would be explained.

Warning:

This is a warning. In contrast to notes mentioned above, a warning should be

!

taken more seriously. While ignoring notes won’t cause any serious damage ignoring
warnings

could

cause serious damage. If you’re new to rockbox you should really read

the warnings before doing anything that is warned about.
This icon marks a section that are intended especially for the blind and visually im-

¸

paired. As they can’t read the manual in the same way sighted people can do we’ve
added some additional descriptions. If you aren’t blind or visually impaired you most
likely can completely skip these blocks. To make this easier, there is an icon shown in
the margin on the right.
