\section{Preparing for Rockbox}
There are two separate components of Rockbox that need to be installed in order to run Rockbox.
There are two separate components of Rockbox that need to be installed in order
to run Rockbox.
\begin{enumerate}
\item The Rockbox bootloader. This is the component of Rockbox that is installed to the flash memory of your \playerman. The bootloader is the program that tells your \dap\ how to boot and load other components of Rockbox.
\item The Rockbox firmware. Unlike the \playerman\ firmware, which runs entirely from flash memory, most of the Rockbox code is contained in the build that resides on your jukebox's hard drive. This makes it easy to update Rockbox. The build contain a file named \firmwarefilename\ and a directory called \fname{.rockbox} which are located in the root directory of your hard drive.

\chapter{Getting started}
\section{Welcome}
This is the manual for Rockbox. Rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for a growing number of MP3 players. Rockbox aims to be considerably more functional and efficient than your device's stock firmware while remaining easy to use and customizable. Rockbox is written by users, for users. Not only is it free to use, it's also released under the GNU public license, which means that it will always remain free to both use and to change.

free to use, it's also released under the GNU public license, which means that
it will always remain free to both use and to change.
Rockbox has been in development since 2001, and recieves new features, tweaks and fixes each day to provide you with the best possible experience on your MP3 player. A major goal of Rockbox is to be simple and easy to use, yet remain very customizable and configurable. We believe that you should never need to go through a series of menus for an action you perform frequently. We also believe that you should be able to configure almost anything about Rockbox you could want, pertaining to functionality. Another top priority of Rockbox is audio playback quality - Rockbox, for most models, includes a wider range of sound settings than that device's original firmware. A lot of work has been put into making Rockbox sound the best it can, and improvements are constantly being made. All models have access to a large number of plugins, including many games, applications, and graphical "demos". You can load different configurations quickly for different purposes (e.g. a large font for in your car, different sound settings for at home).Rockbox features a very wide range of languages, and all supported models also have the ability to talk to you - menus can be voiced and filenames spelled out or spoken.

\section{Getting more help}
This manual is intended to be a comprehensive introduction to the Rockbox software. There is, however, more help available. The Rockbox website at \url{http://www.rockbox.org/}contains very extensive documentation and guides written by members of the Rockbox community and this should be your first port of call when looking for further help.

\section{Enabling Speech Support (optional)}
If you wish to use speech support you will also need a language file, available from \url{http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceFiles/}. For the English language, the file is called \fname{english.voice}. When it has been downloaded, unpack this file and copy it into the \fname{lang} folder which is inside the /\fname{.rockbox} folder on your Jukebox. Voice menus are turned on by default. See page \pageref{ref:Voiceconfiguration} for details on voice settings.
