Minimum and maximum range.
These two options define the full value range
that the peak meter displays. Recommended values for the
Logarithmic
(dB) setting are -40 dB for minimum and 0 dB for maximum. Recommended
values for
Linear
display are 0 and 100%. Note that -40 dB is approxi-
mately 1% in linear value, but if you change the minimum setting in linear
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 batteries 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 1000 mAh, which is the capacity value
for the standard batteries 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.
Battery Type.
This setting tells Rockbox which type of battery is currently used in the
player. The two supported battery types are “Alkaline” or “NiMH”.
8.5.2. Limits
This sub menu relates to limits in the Rockbox operating system.
Max Entries in File Browser.
This setting controls the limit on the number of files that
you can see in any particular directory in the file browser. You can configure the
size to be between 50 and 10,000 files in steps of 50. The default is 400. Higher
values will shorten the music buffer, so you should increase this setting
only
if you
have directories with a large number of files.
Max Playlist Size.
This setting controls the maximum size of a playlist. The playlist
size can be between 1,000 and 32,000 files, in steps of 1,000 (default is 10,000).
Higher values will shorten the music buffer, so you should increase this setting
only
if you have very large playlists.
