mode slightly and then change to the dB scale, there will be a large change.
You can use these values for ‘zooming’ into the peak meter.
Default Codepage.
A codepage describes the way extended characters that are not
available within the ASCII character set are encoded. ID3v1 tags do not have a
codepage encoding contained so Rockbox needs to know what encoding has been
used when generating these tags. This should be “ISO-8859-1” but to support lan-
guages outside Western Europe most applications use the setting of your operating
system instead. If your operating system uses a different codepage and you are
getting garbled extended characters you should adjust this settings. In most cases
sticking to “ISO-8859-1” would be sufficient.
8.5. System
8.5.1. Battery
Options relating to the battery in the player.
Battery Capacity.
This setting can be used to tell Rockbox what capacity (in mAh) the
battery being used has. The default is 900 mAh, which is the capacity value for
the standard battery shipped with the player. Rockbox uses this value for runtime
estimation, not battery percentage calculation. Changing this setting has no effect
whatsoever on actual battery life. This setting only affects the accuracy of the
runtime estimation as shown on screen.
8.5.2. Disk
Options relating to the hard disk.
Disk Spindown.
Rockbox has a timer that makes it spin down the hard disk after it is
idle for a certain amount of time. This setting controls the amount of time between
the last user activity and the time that the disk spins down. This idle time is only
affected by user activity, like navigating through the
File Browser
. When the
hard disk spins up to fill the audio buffer, it automatically spins down afterwards.
Directory Cache.
Rockbox has the ability to cache the contents of your drive in RAM.
The
Directory Cache
takes a small amount of memory away from Rockbox
that would otherwise be used to buffer music, but it speeds up navigation in the
file browser by eliminating the slight pause between the time a navigation button
is pressed and the time Rockbox responds. Turning this setting on activates the
directory cache, and turning it off deactivates the directory cache.
Note:
The first time you enable the directory cache, Rockbox will request a reboot
b
of the player and upon restarting take a few minutes to scan the drive. After this,
the directory cache will work in the background.
