-Q1. What is a FAQ?
-A1. A rare small animal of the species 'Textius Electronicus'. It is known for
-    its helpful attitude and vicious misspellings.
-
-Q2. Okay, fine, what is _this_ FAQ?
-A2. This FAQ is for questions (that we have answers to) that have been asked
-    repeatedly either in emails or on IRC.
-
-Q3. What is Rockbox?  What is it's purpose?
-A3. The purpose of this project is to write an Open Source replacement 
-    firmware for the Archos Jukebox 6000, Studio 20 and Recorder MP3 players.
-
-Q4. I want to write code for my Archos, how do I proceed?
-A4. Our guide on first time (http://www.rockbox.org/docs/firsttime.html) 
-    Rockbox development should answer most of your questions.
-
-Q5: What is CVS?
-A5: Concurrent Versions System (http://www.cvshome.org).  We have a small
-    help page about how to use this to get, update and commit files on the web
-    at http://www.rockbox.org/cvs.html
-
-Q6. What exactly is the CONTRIBUTING file? 
-A6. Just like the name implies, it lists conventions that the project follows, 
-    and in turn asks you to follow, for the formating of source code in
-    general.
-
-Q7. Okay, so I read CONTRIBUTING and although I don't agree with all your 
-    conventions, I am going to be sensible and follow them anyway.  Now what?
-A7. Start by reading up on the information about the jukeboxes on our web page.
-    Then go into CVS and look at the code we've written. Then take what you
-    need and start writing.
-
-Q8. I want to join the development team, but don't have a SourceForge account,
-    what should I do?
-A8. You don't need a SourceForge account to help developing Rockbox. Just
-    submit patches (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WorkingWithPatches)
-
-    If your patches are consistently well-written and thus accepted, you may
-    ultimately be offered CVS commit access. If that should happen, you will
-    need to get a Sourceforge account:
-    http://sourceforge.net/account/register.php
-
-Q9. Do you have a mailing list?
-A9. Sure do!  As a matter of fact, we have several of them for specific things.
-    Please check out: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/, and please see FAQ entry
-    75.
-
-Q10. Great you have a mailing list!  Is there anyway for me to catch up on
-     past posts?
-A10. Check out the archives at: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/
-
-Q11. How can I meet the developers working on the project?
-A11. One way is by visiting us on IRC.  Head on over to the server
-     irc.openprojects.net, and then join "#rockbox".  There is usually at 
-     least one person there.  If you don't see any activity, feel free to post 
-     questions anyway, several of us log the channel and will get you answers
-     when we unidle.
-
-Q12: Wow, you guys talk on IRC a lot?  I wish I had been around for those 
-     conversations to see what happened.
-A12: We are glad you mentioned that!  http://www.rockbox.org/irc happens
-     to have a list of various logs we have recorded of events in the channel.
-     Feel free to read up, and ask questions on what you find.
-
-Q13. What is this "SourceForge" you keep mentioning?
-A13. http://www.sourceforge.net
-
-Q14. Can the changes or the software that Rockbox suggests or offers 
-     possibly damage my Archos Player?
-A14. All firmware mods that are presented are still highly experimental. 
-     Try them at your own risk. We offer no guarantee that this software, or 
-     the hardware modifications we show, will not damage your player or void 
-     your warranty.  That said, we have not been able to damage any of our 
-     units by modifying only the firmware. You can accidentally password 
-     protect your hard disk, but there are ways around that. (See below.)
-
-Q15. I want to see what the inside of my player looks like, but I would really
-     like to avoid voiding my warranty.  Is there anything you can suggest?
-A15. We have a collection of photos of both the player and recorder. Look at
-     http://www.rockbox.org/internals/
-
-Q16. What exactly are you trying to achieve with this line of development?
-     (A.K.A. what's your purpose for being here?)
-A16. Firstly, we wouldn't start something like this if we didn't simply enjoy
-     it profusely. This is great fun!
-     Secondly, we feel the original firmware is lacking some features and
-     contains a number of annoying bugs that we don't want to live with.
-
-Q17. You mention supporting Ogg Vorbis and other file types on your list of
-     ideas. What is the status on that?
-A17. Pessimist's Answer: At the current time we believe this is not very
-     likely. The Micronas chip (MAS3507) decoder in the Archos does not
-     natively support decoding and there is very little program space in the
-     player to implement it ourselves.  The alternative would be to write a
-     software decoder as part of the Rockbox firmware.  However, as much as we
-     love our players, the computing power of the Archos (SH1 microcontroller)
-     is not fully sufficient for this need.
-
-     Optimist's Answer: We can play any format if only we can write code for 
-     the DSP to decode it.  The MAS 3507 (and 3587) are generic DSPs that 
-     simply have MP3 codecs in ROM. We can download new codecs in them and 
-     we will be the first to celebrate if we can get OGG or FLAC or anything 
-     into these DSPs. Unfortunately, we have no docs or tools for writing new 
-     MAS DSP code and Micronas is very secretive about it.  If anyone can 
-     help, please get in touch!
-
-     The recent release of Tremor (integer Ogg decoder) indicates it uses
-     around 100 KB for lookup tables. That's not unreasonable for a decoder,
-     but we only have 4 KB for both code *and* data. So the grim reality is
-     that Ogg will never be supported by the Archos Players and Recorders.
-
-Q18. What about supporting playing of WMA files?
-A18. Dear Mr. Gates, you have two options.  Re-read previous question, or go 
-     buy your own project.
-
-Q19: But you don't understand, I'm not talking about decoding here, 
-     since the data we want may already be in the decoded format (PCM). 
-A19: Okay, last time.  No.  We have no problems whatsoever reading different 
-     file formats, call it PCM, WAV, GRI, PQR or whatever.  The problem is 
-     that the CODEC only accepts MP3 data and nothing else. We could write a 
-     new CODEC if we knew how to do it, but there is no documentation on the 
-     DSP. Please note that we have no access to the DAC, so we can't send the 
-     data directly to the DAC.
-
-Q20. What is the most recent version of Rockbox?
-A20. We recently released version 2.3, so head on over to
-     http://www.rockbox.org/download/ and pull it down.
-     Make sure to read the release notes.
-     (http://www.rockbox.org/download/rockbox-2.3-notes.txt).
-
-Q21. What do you plan to add to coming versions?
-A21. We don't plan versions in detail. We just write code, and when it feels
-     right we release a new version.
-
-Q22. I tried one of your firmware files and now I can't access my hard disk!
-     When I turn on my jukebox, it says:
-                     Part. Error
-                     Pls Chck HD
-A22. Your hard disk has been password protected. We're not 100% sure why it
-     happens, but you can unlock it yourself. Look at:
-     http://www.rockbox.org/lock.html
-
-     Note: This is a very rare problem. Most people who think they have a
-     locked disk actually just experience hardware and/or driver problems.
-
-Q23: This FAQ doesn't answer the question I have.  What should I do?
-A23: You have a couple options here.  You could forget the question, find an
-     easier question, or accept '42' as the answer no matter what.  We don't
-     really recommend any of these (though I do opt for '42' often myself).
-     What we do recommend is stopping by IRC, visiting the web site
-     (http://www.rockbox.org) to see if the question was answered else where
-     (like our nodo http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/NoDo FAQ)
-     and just not included here, or ultimately dropping an email to the
-     mailing list (rockbox@cool.haxx.se) or the FAQ maintainer listed on the
-     project home page.
-
-Q24: Are there other ways to contact the developers?
-A24: Yes.
-
-Q25: Are you going to tell us what they are?
-A25: No.  Post to the mailing list and we will get back to you.
-
-Q26: But I _really_ want to talk with you in person.
-A26: I'm sorry.  My girlfriend/boyfriend/pet says I'm not allowed to, and the
-     doctors here won't let me have pens or pencils.  They say its some rule
-     about us not having sharp objects.  I'm sorry.  Now please stop calling
-     me here.
-
-Q27: Will you ever port Quake II to the Archos?
-A27: If you ask that again, I'm sending your address and phone number to the 
-     guy that mailed us with question #24.
-
-Q28: Umm, was that sarcasm?
-A28: That's it, I'm mailing him now.
-
-Q29: Is this legal? I mean, I'd just hate to see something like that 
-     challenged under the DMCA in all its ridiculousness. Any thoughts or 
-     ideas?
-A29: We believe we are in the green on this.  We are not violating anyone's
-     copyright and we are not circumventing any copy protection scheme.
-     This has been a big point for the project since its inception.  Some 
-     people wanted us to distribute patched versions of the original firmware,
-     but seeing as that _would_ have violated Archos' copyright, we didn't 
-     follow that course of action.
-
-Q30: On the web site [and various information postings] you state 
-        "Every tiny bit was reverse engineered, disassembled and then 
-         re-written from scratch".  
-     If it was rewritten from scratch then why was it first reverse-engineered
-     and disassembled? Instead this sounds more like someone disassembled it
-     then used the understanding that they gained to create a new version,
-     which is not quite the same as "from scratch". 
-A30: Don't confuse the terms.  Reverse engineering means examining a product 
-     to find out how it works.  Disassembling the firmware is merely one tool 
-     used in that examination.  Oscilloscopes and logic analyzers are other 
-     tools we have used.  We have written every single byte of the Rockbox 
-     firmware. But we could not have written the software without first 
-     researching how the hardware was put together, i.e. reverse engineer it.
-     All of this is completely legal.  If you define "from scratch" as writing
-     software without first researching the surrounding interfaces, then no 
-     software has ever been written from scratch.
-
-Q31: This FAQ is great, but do you have anything with a bit more detail?
-A31: Check out our website and it's documentation.  Rockbox also has a user
-     manual you can read.  http://www.rockbox.org/manual/manual.pdf
-
-Q32: I've heard talk of a 'Rolo'.  What is that? (Or 'All you ever wanted
-     to know about Rockbox boot loaders')
-A32: Rolo is our bootloader.  Rolo became available with our 1.4 release.
-     To make use of Rolo, you must have a file with the same extension as 
-     your Rockbox firmware (.ajz on Recorder, .mod on Player) but a different
-     name.  You can then browse to it, and you 'run' the other firmware
-     you wish to switch to by pressing play. Remember to set the Show Files
-     option to "Supported" or "All" to be able to see the firmware files in
-     the browser.
-
-     *Poof* You will reboot to that firmware.  (Note that in order to return
-     to Rockbox you may need to reboot manually if the new firmware you loaded
-     does not have a bootloader itself.)
-
-Q33: Can I use the Archos as an USB hard disk to store data from my PDA/
-     digital camera/phone etc.
-A33: No.  See http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/NoDo#4_Interfacing_with_other_USB_dev
-
-Q34: When I use Rockbox my jukebox's red "error" light turns on a lot, but this
-     doesn't happen on the factory firmware.  Why?
-A34: Rockbox uses the red LED as harddisk activity light, not as an error 
-     light. Relax and enjoy the music.
-
-Q35: I have a question about the batteries...
-A35: STOP!  We have put together a completely different FAQ for battery 
-     related questions.  
-     Check out: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BatteryFAQ
-
-Q36. I have a question about patches...
-A36. Check out http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WorkingWithPatches
-     as it should answer any patch related questions you may have.
-
-Q37: What is the WPS?
-A37: That is the 'While Playing Screen'.  Basically this is what is shown on
-     your player's display while we are playing your song.
-
-Q38: What good is the WPS?  How usable/flexible is it?
-A38: It is very good if you want information about the current item playing ;)
-     By using a WPS configuration file you can manage exactly how/what you 
-     want displayed on your Archos Player.  (Even better yet, if you want 
-     a feature that's not there, we are _always_ open to suggestions!) 
-     Please see http://www.rockbox.org/manual/wps.html for information.
-
-Q40: So how do I load/make a .wps file?
-A40: You check out http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS
-     to learn the format/features of a .wps file, and read the manual to
-     learn how to load it ;)
-
-Q41: Does Rockbox support other languages? How do I load/use different 
-     languages?
-A41: See: http://www.rockbox.org/lang
-
-Q42: Does Rockbox support other fonts/character sets?
-A42: Recorders do, Players don't.
-
-Q43: How do I use the loadable fonts?
-A43: If you own a Recorder see: http://www.rockbox.org/fonts/  Players
-     cannot make use of loadable fonts.
-
-Q44: Why can't I use loadable fonts on the Player? 
-A44: This is because the Player font is character cell based (as opposed to 
-     the Recorder's bitmap based display).  This
-     means that we are able to choose what characters to display, but not how
-     to display them.  We do have the ability to change/create up to 4 chars 
-     on one model and 8 on another, however we are currently using several of 
-     these 'letters' to store icons for the player.
-
-Q45: Why don't you have as many games available for the Players?
-A45: The display on the Players is character cell and not bitmap based.  
-     This means there is much more limitations in the amount of graphics that
-     can be displayed, and thus what kind of games can be written.
-
-Q46: I keep shutting off my player in my pocket. Can the OFF (Recorder) or
-     STOP (Player) key be locked?
-A46: No. Unfortunately, the ON/OFF mechanisms are handled entirely in
-     hardware. The firmware can read the keys, but can't prevent them from
-     shutting off the player.
-
-Q47: Can I record with Rockbox?
-A47: You sure can.  Take a look at our manual.  
-     http://www.rockbox.org/manual/manual.pdf
-
-Q48: Now that I can record, can I use custom codecs (like LAME)?
-A48: The MP3 encoder is in the MAS3587F chip, and nothing we can change.
-
-Q49: What are the max/min bitrates for recording on the Recorder's encoder?
-A49: The builtin encoder is variable bit rate only with a max of 192kbit/s,
-     and a min of 32kbit/s.
-
-Q50: Would it be possible to record from line in on the player?
-A50: No.
-
-Q51: I have a question about the id3v1 and id3v2 tags...
-A51: Rockbox supports both id3v1 and id3v2.  If you have problems,
-     report it to the developers and please provide an example.
-
-Q52: Where exactly did the name 'Rockbox' come from?
-A52: Well you can follow the full line of emails at 
-     http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2002-01/0062.shtml
-     However, the brief rundown is that it was recommended first by 
-     Tome Cvitan, and put to a vote (which it lost). 
-
-     Funny thing about democracies.  This isn't one ;)  Our beloved project
-     leader vetoed the winning name and chose Rockbox instead.
-     http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2002-01/0134.shtml
-     
-     There you have it.  Recommended by users, decision by dictator.
-
-Q53: Why is there a limit of 400 files in a directory?
-A53: This is a configurable value, 400 files is just the default.
-
-Q54: Why is there a 10,000 song limit on playlists?
-A54: This is a configurable value, 10,000 songs is just the default.
-
-Q55: How can I make playlists on my PC?
-A55: There are many programs that can create .m3u playlists. WinAmp is one.
-     Another simple method, that requires no extra software, is to use dir:
-
-       dir /b /s X:\ > X:\allfiles.m3u
-       dir /b /s X:\Pop > X:\pop.m3u
-
-     ...where X: is your Archos drive.
-
-     Linux users can use the 'find' command:
-
-       cd /mnt/archos
-       find . -name "*.mp3" > all.m3u
-
-     Remember that playlists are simple text files. You can edit them with any
-     normal text editor.
-
-Q56: How does the shuffle work?
-A56: It sees the playlist as a deck of cards, shuffling the entries using a
-     pseudo-random generator called the Mersenne Twister. After shuffling,
-     the list is never changed again until you re-shuffle the list, by
-     stopping the playback and restarting. If the repeat mode is enabled,
-     the list will simply start over from the first file again, without
-     re-shuffling.
-     The random seed is stored in the persistent setting area, so that the
-     resume feature can shuffle the playlist in exactly the same way when
-     resuming.
-
-Q57: How can I find out about all the neat features that Rockbox has?
-A57: This information is in our manual (It sometimes gets a bit out of
-     date, so please bear with us.)  The information you are most likely 
-     looking for is a bit down the tree, so the here is the url:
-     http://www.rockbox.org/manual/rec-general.html
-
-     Also, check out the features-list at:
-     http://www.rockbox.org/docs/features.html
-
-Q58: How can I see what bugs are currently open/being worked on?
-A58: Check out http://www.rockbox.org/bugs.shtml for a listing of bugs
-     that have been reported.
-
-Q59: How can I report about bugs in Rockbox?
-A59: If we were better programmers we would take that as an insult.  But we
-     aren't, so we won't.  The first step in reporting a bug is to review 
-     the rules we ask you to follow in your submission (listed at: 
-     http://www.rockbox.org/bugs.shtml#rules).
-
-     Please note that we ask reports of bugs in CVS/daily builds to be sent
-     to the mailing list, and bugs in released versions of Rockbox to be
-     submitted through SourceForge's bug tracker.  (A link to the bug tracker
-     can be found under our bug submission rules.)
-
-Q60: What's with all the different versions of Rockbox?
-
-A60: We currently support four different hardware platforms: Players, Recorder
-     v1, Recorder v2 and FM Recorder.
-     For each platform, Rockbox is released in three versions: Release, Daily
-     Build and Bleeding Edge. These only differ in release frequency.
-
-     The Release version (currently 2.3) is a frozen known-good state. This
-     means that we are confident that few, if any, significant bugs reside
-     within the code for that version. This is the version for the common
-     user, *except for Ondio*. Use a current daily build for Ondio.
-     There are 2 bugs in the 2.3 release that render it not recommended for
-     Ondio: (1) Saving configuration files or radio presets takes ages, and
-     wears the flash chip much more than necessary. (2) Rockbox 2.3 does not
-     yet support all Ondio hardware variants. This may lead to non-working
-     storage access both from rockbox and via USB.
-
-     The Daily Builds (http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml) are automated
-     daily builds of the CVS (development) code.  As such they contain all the
-     new features (and bugs) that have been introduced after the last official
-     release, up to this morning.
-
-     The Bleeding Edge builds (http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml#bleeding_edge)
-     are built from the CVS code every 20 minutes. The purpose of these builds
-     is to verify the code builds properly on all platforms (and simulators)
-     and also to allow testers to try out new features and bug fixes without
-     having to build the code themselves.
- 
-     Please Note: Bleeding Edge builds are expected to be buggy at times. We
-     ask that you _do not_ submit bug reports for Bleeding Edge builds, but
-     would love to hear any reports you may have about Release or Daily build
-     versions. (see "How can I report about bugs in Rockbox?")
-            
-Q61: I am in Windows and can't create a .rockbox directory to store my
-     files.  When are you going to fix this?
-A61: You don't need to. The directory should have been created when you
-     installed Rockbox. If it wasn't created, you haven't installed it
-     correctly. Re-read the installation instructions on the download page:
-
-     http://www.rockbox.org/download/
-
-Q62: I own a Mac.  I can't seem to create the .rockbox file.  Can you 
-     fix this?
-A62: See question 61.
-         
-Q63: Will Rockbox work on any of Archos' other units?
-A63: Other than the 6 currently supported models: no, probably not. If Archos
-     releases another rockbox-able player (such as the V2) then rockbox will
-     find its way onto it, but their new devices as the Gmini, MM, and AV
-     units are completely different hardware and probably won't be supported
-     by Rockbox unless someone enthusiastically reverse engineers them and
-     submits patches to make it happen.

-
-Q64: I installed Rockbox, removed the jukebox safely and rebooted, but Rockbox
-     still didn't load. What is wrong? I am running Windows.
-A64: The old MOD/AJZ was not entirely deleted from the disk. It is still
-     there, and the boot loader finds that one instead of the new file. Here's
-     what you can do:
-
-     - Download and install Directory Snoop (version 4.03 in November 2002)
-     from http://www.briggsoft.com/dsnoop.htm.
-     It's shareware, the trial version can be used 25 times.
-
-     Directory Snoop can display true drive contents by bypassing the
-     operating system and reading the raw drive sectors directly.
-
-     - Plug the Jukebox in the PC as usual and power on
-
-     - Launch Directory snoop
-
-     - Click on the Jukebox drive letter in the [select drive] field in the
-     toolbar. The content of the jukebox hard drive appears in the main
-     window. Files which appear in red color don't seem to be present on the
-     hard drive, but they still here.
-
-     - Simply select the appropriate files (red color) and purge them
-     (Purge button). Of course, don't erase the new archos.mod file and the
-     .rockbox directory :)
-
-     - Safely remove (Windows unmount device function) the Jukebox.
-     Power it up and ...voila... Rockbox is there!

-     - Copy the firmware file to the jukebox again. Windows will rename it to "Copy of XXXXX"
-
-     - Delete the original firmware file and remove the "Copy of" part from the new file name
-
-     - Reboot
-
-     If it doesn't load the correct firmware, do the whle procedure again until the new file is recognized.

-Q65: What kind of mic can I connect to my AJBR?
-A65: There are several types of microphones.
-
-     Dynamic: The one that's available from Archos is a dynamic one.
-     Their output level is high enough so that they don't need an
-     amplifier (that's the reason why the Archos mic is of this type -
-     it's cheap).
-      - cheap
-      - no good sound quality of cheap dynamic mics (good enough for
-        speech)
-      - no amplifier needed
-
-     Backplate Condenser: These are the professional mics. They need phantom
-     power (48V) for charging the condenser.
-     They also need an amplifier, because their output level is low.
-       - good sound quality
-       - need phantom power (48V)
-       - need amplifier
-       - expensive              
- 
-     Electret Condenser: These capsules are cheap and result in a good
-     recording quality. They don't need phantom power voltage. They need power
-     for the FET (field effect transistor) that's inside. If you have such a
-     mic with a battery in it, it is mostly because of the FET power, not
-     because of an amplification circuit inside the mic.  These mics are in
-     all the consumer products like mobile phones, PC headsets and so on.
-       - cheap (2 EUR for a capsule)
-       - good sound quality
-       - need amplifier
-       - need power for the FET (1,5 - 15V)
-
-     Recommendation for do-it-yourselfers: Use electret condenser mic capsules,
-     solder an amplifier for them which both amplifies the output level
-     and feeds the power needed for the FET to the capsule.
-     The one on http://www.geocities.com/ferocious_1999/md/micpreamp2.html
-     was soldered and tested by Uwe Freese, and it works.
-     There are some others available from www.elv.de and other sellers.
-
-     Recommendation for others: Buy some mic + preamp combination which can be
-     plugged into a line in of any amplifier. Maybe such a commercially
-     available combination needs a power supply and doesn't work with
-     batteries. Some are very expensive. You might have some luck at
-     http://www.giant-squid-audio-lab.com/.
-
-     What does not work: Don't use an amplifier thing that is simply connected
-     between some mic cable. Maybe it sounds as if it could work, but I
-     doesn't. If the piece of (expensive) electronic doesn't have a power
-     source and your mic doesn't either, it does not work!  A PC sound card or
-     md player usually has a power output (same pin where the sound goes
-     through, dc value) for feeding the FET of an electret condenser capsule
-     (see above) (and this power could also used to feed a mic amplifier), but
-     the Archos hasn't (it's a line in and no mic in!).
-
-     If you want to know more on microphone powering, read this:
-     http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/microphone_powering.html.
-     (As described, you also need amplification.)
-
-Q66: I can't start rockbox when the charger is connected. What am I doing
-     wrong?
-A66: If your device is off and you connect the charger, the Archos charger code
-     is started immediately. You can then start Rockbox with holding down the
-     ON key for several seconds. Hold the key down a really long time, until
-     you see the Rockbox logo!
-
-Q67: Why can't you implement a cross-fader? That would be so cool!
-A67: Please read our NODO faq. http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/NoDo#3_Crossfade_between_tracks_
-
-Q68: My screen is all black/white when I run Rockbox on my Recorder!
-A68: This bug has been fixed in the later versions of Rockbox. Upgrade!
-
-Q69: Where are the FM controls for the FM Recorder?
-A69: In the menu: FM Radio
-
-Q70: I installed/renamed ajbrec.ajz (or archos.mod) but I am still booting
-     with another version of firmware.
-A70: When looking on the hard disk the Archos firmware only matches the first
-     ten characters of the file name.  Because of this files like 
-     ajbrec.ajz.bak or ajbrec.ajz-20030404 match and are loaded.  To 
-     prevent this from happening, give the it a file name that differs in 
-     the first 10 characters, e.g., ajbrec.bak.ajz. 
-
-Q71: Help! My recorder crashes when I copy files to it!
-A71: Yes, the recorder can crash when you copy several gigabytes of
-     files to it. The explanation is simple: Copying several gigabytes
-     of files through USB requires a long period of sustained disk
-     activity and drains more power than the batteries of the recorder
-     can store. A long copy will eventually drain the batteries to the
-     point where the recorder can no longer function and it halts.
-     This even happens when connected to the charger, since the power
-     drain is more than the charger can provide! If the recorder halts
-     while connecter to the charger, the batteries will recover and
-     after a short while it will reboot the Archos firmware in charger
-     mode. To make it worse, depending on the USB drivers of your
-     system it can cause your system to crash as well, or confuse it
-     to the point it needs a reboot.
-
-     There is no solution, just some tips:
-
-     - Connect to the charger when copying lots of files. This will
-     not prevent the problem, but it will take longer to happen.
-
-     - Make sure you have "Deep Discharge" disabled.
-
-     - Switch off the "Backlight On When Plugged" option.
-
-     - Use USB 2.0. Transfers will be much faster.
-
-     - Copy incrementally. With fully charged standard batteries it
-     should be capable of sustained copying for 2 - 2.5 hours.
-
-Q72: What should I know about digital I/O connector on my jukebox?
-A72: The Recorder models have a connector for digital audio output using the
-     common S/PDIF standard (Sony/Phillips Digital Interface). This jack is
-     not present on the Studio/Player/FM Recorder models. By using the digital
-     output in combination with high class external equipment, you can get
-     much better sound quality out of your jukebox. This is because you can
-     use better DA-converters and better amplifiers, plus you eliminate the
-     analog audio connections between the jukebox and your equipment that can
-     introduce noise and distortion.
-
-     The Recorder and the FM Recorder models are able to record from digital
-     sources, too. The digital inputs don't have the 15kHz lowpass filter like
-     the analog inputs and you are sure to minimize the noise floor.
-
-     Although S/PDIF can be an electrical or an optical signal and there are
-     many devices that support both, the socket on the jukebox is for
-     electrical signals only! Some devices have sockets that look the same,
-     and can take either an optical or an electrical cable, but sadly this is
-     not true with the Jukebox.
-
-     If you want to connect your amp with digital input (RCA type) to the
-     output of your Recorder you need an adapter cable (3.5mm stereo jack to
-     dual RCA jack). Plug the 3.5mm stero jack into the digital I/O socket of
-     your jukebox and the red RCA jack (right channel) into the digital input
-     socket of your amp and that's it. You don't have to enable the digital
-     output, since it's always on. The sound settings on the digital output
-     are always flat, your volume, bass, treble, bass boost, loudness settings
-     won't have any effect here, that's why fade in/out won't work,
-     either. The sampling frequency of the digital output is the same as the
-     sampling frequency of the mp3. It's therefore possible that your external
-     equipment won't be able to synchronize to the output of your jukebox if
-     you have mp3's with sampling frequencies other than 32, 44.1 or 48kHz
-     (The pitch shift function also modifies the sampling frequency!).
-
-     For recording digital signals on the Recorder, use the white RCA jack
-     (left channel) and plug it into the digital output of your CD player, MD
-     player or whatever. Don't forget to select digital input in the recording
-     settings!
-
-     Note that some adapter cables exist with different color coding, so if it
-     doesn't work try to swap red and white. The tip of the 3.5mm jack is the
-     digital input, the ring is the ouput. For recording digital signals on
-     the FM Recorder, you need a special 4-pole 3.5mm plug (shaft = ground,
-     tip = left channel analog line in, first ring (next to tip) = right
-     channel analog line in, second ring = digital in).
-
-     If you want to connect devices with optical inputs/outputs, you need a
-     small converter box which converts your signal from electrical to optical
-     (for digital output from the Archos) or optical to electrical (for
-     digital recording in to the Archos).
-
-Q73: How do I unsubscribe from the rockbox mailing list?
-A73: The same way you subscribed, but you send an 'unsubscribe' request to the
-     mailing list server instead of the 'subscribe' one you sent before.
-
-     This is all mentioned on the same web page: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/
-
-     Please please please pretty please with sugar on top, DO NOT attempt to
-     mail unsubscribe requests to the mailing list itself. That will only
-     annoy more than 400 readers and will have no effect on your subscription.
-
-     In fact, you NEVER unsubscribe to ANY mailing lists by mailing unsubscribe
-     to the list's address. You might as well take the opportunity to learn
-     this right away.
-
-     When you first subscribed to the mailing list, you were sent a welcome
-     mail from the server. It contained information about the mailing list and
-     instructions on how to unsubscribe. It is considered a good habit to keep
-     such welcome messages from mailing lists.
-
-     In addition to all this, every mail that is sent out to the rockbox
-     mailing list has a set of standard headers that offer info about the
-     mailing list: how to post, how to unsubscribe, where to find the mailing
-     list archives etc. Sensible mail clients can display these headers.
-
-Q74: What is the Recorder V2?
-A74: The Recorder V2 is essentially an FM Recorder without the radio. It looks
-     and works like the FM Recorder except for the radio, and has LiIon
-     batteries. It is meant to replace the older Recorder model.
-     NOTE! The first V2 Recorders were in fact real FM Recorders with the
-     radio parts still mounted. If you are lucky, the FM radio might work in
-     your V2, try it!
-
-Q75: Why is there a Radio option in my Rockbox for V2?
-A75: Some of the first V2 units had an FM radio in there, so if you're one of
-     the few lucky ones, you can use the radio fine.
-
-Q76: What does "dir buffer is full" mean?
-A76: It means you have more files in a single directory than you have
-     configured Rockbox to support. See Q53.
-
-     Solution: Increase the "max files in dir browser" setting.
-
-     The 2.2 release contained a bug that set the default buffer setting
-     to 0, giving the dir buffer full error.
-
-     Solution: Upgrade to 2.3.
-
-Q77: Why are you developing X when you should be doing Y?
-A77: You make the common mistake of confusing Rockbox development with that of
-     commercial projects. There is not much of an agenda for the development
-     of Rockbox. Anyone who wants to write new features can do that.
-
-     If there is a current "huge emphasis" on the X functionality, it is
-     because one or more developers, decided he/they wanted to write it. It's
-     not because "Rockbox project management" decided function X is a more
-     important feature than anything else.
-
-     That is the nature of Free Software: People write code that scratches
-     their own itches, or that simply is fun to write. Everybody working with
-     Rockbox is doing it for fun. A wide or narrow audience actually has only
-     little bearing on the choice of features to implement.
-
-     The moment someone with a bit of time to spare and the necessary
-     programming skills (or a will to learn them) feels function Y is a
-     sufficiently useful feature, it will be written.
-
-     (That could be you.)
-
-Q78: How do I control the recording frequency and quality?
-A78: Linus Nielsen Feltzing replied to a similar question on April 17th 2004,
-     and this is a cut'n paste of his reply that can be read on the following
-     URL:
-     http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2004-04/0814.shtml
-
-     SAMPLE RATE
-
-     Controls the amount of samples per second, basically which frequencies
-     that can accurately be reproduced during playback. Lower frequencies
-     produce smaller files, for two reasons: 1) The amount of data to be
-     compressed is smaller and 2) the data is easier to compress, since higher
-     frequencies are not present.
-
-     BIT RATE
-
-     Controls how many bits per second that is required for accurate live
-     transmission of the compressed audio. When you compress the data harder
-     (meaning worse sound quality), the bitrate gets lower.
-
-     STEREO VS MONO
-
-     A mono file doesn't necessarily have to be smaller than a stereo file.
-     It all depends on the encoder. The MAS does produce smaller files with
-     mono.
-
-     MAS QUALITY
-
-     The MAS uses VBR for compression (yes always), which means that the
-     bitrate varies from frame to frame, depending on how compressable the
-     data was at that point in time. This allows for a more even quality, and
-     also smaller files if the data is easily compressed. The MAS can generate
-     frames with bit rates ranging from 32kbit/s to 192kbit/s (MPEG1) or
-     8kbit/s to 160kbit/s (MPEG2).
-
-     The MAS quality setting is just a way of selecting an average bit rate
-     according to the following table (quality 0 is on the far left):
-
-      FREQUENCY        BITRATE IN KBIT/S
-      ------------------------------------------------------
-      44100Hz stereo:  75, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 170
-      22050Hz stereo:  39, 41, 45, 50, 60, 80, 110, 130
-      44100Hz mono:    65, 68, 73, 80, 90, 105, 125, 140
-      22050Hz mono:    35, 38, 40, 45, 50, 60, 75, 90
-
-     (This table can be found on page 38 in the MAS3587 data sheet.)
-
-     MPEG VERSIONS
-
-     The different MPEG versions use different sample rates:
-      44100, 48000, 32000: MPEG version 1
-      22050, 24000, 16000: MPEG version 2
-      11025, 12000, 8000: MPEG version 2.5 (not an official standard)
-
-Q79: How can I make rockbox play tracks in CD order?
-A79: You have two options.
-
-     1: You can rename all tracks to have the track number in front of them
-     (01 - track1.mp3, 02 - track2.mp3, ...). Just make sure to zero-prefix
-     the number properly so that 10 will play after 09.
-
-     2: Make a playlist for each album and play that instead of the .mp3
-     files.
-
-     No, you can't make Rockbox use the track number id3 info for this.
-
-Q80: Why does Rockbox say that I only have 18Gb free space on my 20Gb disk?
-A80: Because the disk manufacturers have a different definition of Giga than
-     the rest of the computer world does.
