Introduction

main channel for Rockbox is
#rockbox
on
irc://irc.freenode.net
. Many helpful developers
and users are usually around. Just join and ask your question (don’t ask to 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 so that you can join the Rockbox IRC channel without needing to install additional
software onto your computer.
If you think you have 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
F
(page
148
) for details on how to use the tracker.
1.3 Naming conventions and marks
We have some conventions (especially for 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”. Manufacturer
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”. In order to
b
make finding notes easier each one is accompanied by an icon in the margin as here.
Notes are used to mark useful information that may help you to get the most out of
Rockbox.
Warning:
This is a warning. In contrast to notes mentioned above, a warning should
!
be taken more seriously. Whereas ignoring notes will not cause any serious damage,
ignoring warnings
could
cause serious damage to your player. You really should read the
warnings, especially if you are new to Rockbox.
This icon marks a section that is intended especially for the blind and visually impaired.
¸
As they cannot read the manual in the same way sighted people do we have added some
additional descriptions. If you are not blind or visually impaired you can probably com-
pletely skip these blocks. To make this easier, there is an icon shown in the margin on
the right.
Links to the wiki are abbreviated by the name of the wiki page. Those names are still
linked so you can simply follow them like any other link in this manual. If you want to
access a wiki page manually go to
Z
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/
and type the page
name in the “Go” box at the top of the page. Links to wiki pages are also indicated by
the symbol
Z
in front of the page name.
