To transfer Rockbox to your player you need to connect it to your computer. For manual installation/uninstallation, or should autodetection fail during automatic installation, you need to know where to access the player.

On Windows this means you need to know the drive letter associated with the player. On Linux you need to know the mount point of your player. On Mac OS X you need to know the volume name of your player. Note: The following steps require you to change the setting in Settings → USB Mode to MSC from within the original firmware. 2.2 Installing Rockbox There are two ways to install Rockbox: automated and manual.

The automated way is the preferred method of installing Rockbox for the majority of people. Rockbox Utility is a graphical application that does almost everything for you. However, should you encounter a problem, then the manual way is still available to you. There are two separate components which need to be installed in order to run Rockbox: The Rockbox bootloader. The bootloader is the program that tells your player how to load and start other components of Rockbox and for providing the dual boot function.

This is the component of Rockbox that is installed to the flash memory of your Sansa. The Rockbox firmware. Unlike the Sansa firmware, which runs entirely from flash memory, most of the Rockbox code is contained in a “build” that resides on your player’s drive. This makes it easy to update Rockbox. The build consists of a directory called.rockbox which contains all of the Rockbox files, and is located in the root of your player’s drive.

Apart from the required parts there are some addons you might be interested in installing. Rockbox can load custom fonts. The fonts are distributed as a separate package and thus need to be installed separately. They are not required to run Rockbox itself but a lot of themes require the fonts package to be installed. The appearance of Rockbox can be customised by themes. Depending on your taste you might want to install additional themes to change the look of Rockbox.

2.2.1 Automated Installation To automatically install Rockbox, download the official installer and housekeeping tool Rockbox Utility. It allows you to: • Automatically install all needed components for using Rockbox (“Minimal Installation”). • Automatically install all suggested components (“Complete Installation”). • Selectively install optional components. • Install additional fonts and themes.

• Install voice files and generate talk clips. • Uninstall all components you installed using Rockbox Utility. Prebuilt binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X are available at the wiki page. When first starting Rockbox Utility run “Autodetect”, found in the configuration dialog (File → Configure). Autodetection can detect most player types. If autodetection fails or is unable to detect the mountpoint, make sure to enter the correct values. The mountpoint indicates the location of the player in your filesystem.

On Windows, this is the drive letter the player gets assigned, on other systems this is a path in the filesystem. Choosing a Rockbox version There are three different versions of Rockbox available from the Rockbox website: Release version, current build and archived daily build. You need to decide which one you want to install and get the appropriate version for your player. If you select either “Minimal Installation” or “Complete Installation” from the “Quick Start” tab, then Rockbox Utility will automatically install the release version of Rockbox. Using the “Installation” tab will allow you to select which version you wish to install. The release version is the latest stable release, free of known critical bugs.
