+Recorder main menu  Player main menu  
+\par}
+
+This is the screen from which the rest of the
+Rockbox functions can be accessed.  It is used for a variety of
+functions, which are detailed below. You can access the Rockbox main
+menu by pressing MENU (player/studio version) or F1 (recorder version)
+key. All options in Rockbox can be controlled via this menu. Some of
+them can also be found in the Quick Menus (recorder version only).
+
+All settings are persistently stored on the unit. However, Rockbox does
+not spin up the disk solely for the purpose of saving settings, but
+instead will save them when it spins up the disk the next time, for
+example when refilling the MP3 buffer or navigating through the file
+browser. Changes to settings may therefore not be saved unless the
+Jukebox is shut down safely (see page \pageref{ref:Safeshutdown}).
+
+The two settings menus are covered in detail starting on page \pageref{ref:Part4}.
+ All the other options on the main menu are explained here.
+

+\subsubsection{\label{ref:Recordingsettings}Recording Settings}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Quality}
+Choose the quality here (0 to 7). Default is 5, best quality is 7,
+smallest file size is 0.  This setting effects how much your sound
+sample will be compressed.  Higher quality settings result in larger
+MP3 files.
+
+The quality setting is just a way of selecting an average bit rate, or
+number of  bits per second, for a recording.  When  this setting is
+lowered, recordings are compressed more (meaning worse sound quality),
+and the average bitrate changes as follows.

+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Frequency} 
+Choose the recording frequency (sample rate) {}- 48kHz, 44.1kHz,
+32kHz (MPEG version 1), and 24kHz, 22.05kHz, 16kHz (MPEG version 2) are
+available.  Higher sample rates use up more disk space, but give better
+sound quality.  This setting determines which frequency range can
+accurately be reproduced during playback. Lower frequencies produce
+smaller files, for two reasons.  The amount of data to be compressed is
+smaller and the data is easier to compress, since higher frequencies
+are not present.  The frequency setting also determines which version
+of the MPEG standard sound is recorded using.
+
+\item \textbf{Source}
+Choose the source of the recording.  This can be microphone, line in, 
+or SPDIF (digital). For recording from the radio on the FM recorder,
+see page \pageref{ref:FMradio} below.
+
+Note: you cannot change the sample rate for digital recordings.
+
+\item \textbf{Channels}
+This allows you to select mono or stereo recording.  Please note that
+for mono recording, only the left channel is recorded.  Mono recordings
+are usually somewhat smaller than stereo.
+
+\item \textbf{Independent Frames}
+The independent frames option tells the Jukebox to encode with the bit
+reservoir disabled, so the frames are independent of each other. This
+makes a file easier to edit.
+
+\item \textbf{Time Split}
+This option is useful when timing recordings. If set to active it stops
+a recording at a given interval and then starts recording again with a
+new file., which is useful for long term recordings.
+
+The splits are seamless (frame accurate), no audio is lost at the split
+point. The break between recordings is only the time required to stop
+and restart the recording, on the order of 2{}-4 seconds.
+
+Options (hours:minutes between splits): off, 24:00, 18:00, 12:00, 10:00,
+8:00, 6:00, 4:00, 2:00, 1:20 (80 minute CD), 1:14 (74 minute  CD),
+1:00, 00:30, 00:15, 00:10, 00:05.
+\item \textbf{Prerecord Time}
+This setting buffers a small amount of audio so that when the
+record button is pressed, the recording will begin from that number of
+seconds earlier.  This is useful for ensuring that a recording begins
+before a cue that is being waited for.\\
+
+Options: Off, 1{}-30 seconds

+\section{\label{ref:Bookmarkconfig}\label{ref:Bookmarkmenu}Bookmarks}
+The bookmarks menu allows you to create and manage bookmark files.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Create Bookmark}
+While playing a track, use this option to save your current position
+within the track so that you can return to it at a later time. 
+Bookmarks are saved on a per folder basis i.e. all of the files in the
+same folder have their bookmarks stored together. You can store
+multiple bookmarks for the same track.
+
+\item \textbf{List Bookmarks}

+
+While playing a track, use this option to return to any bookmark in the current folder.  The bookmark browser
+screen (shown above) is now displayed.  Use the UP and DOWN keys
+(recorder) or MINUS and PLUS keys (player) to navigate between
+bookmarks.  Press PLAY to jump to a bookmark, ON+PLAY to delete a
+bookmark or STOP/OFF to exit the browser.
+
+\item \textbf {Recent bookmarks}
+If the ``save a list of recently created bookmarks'' option is enabled
+then you can view a list of several recent bookmarks here and select
+one to jump straight to that track.  This option is off by default. 
+See page \pageref{ref:Bookmarkconfigactual} for more details on
+configuring bookmarking in Rockbox. 
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{\label{ref:playlistoptions}Playlist Options}
+This menu allows you to work with playlists. 
+Playlists can either be created automatically by playing a file in
+a directory directly, which will cause all of the files in that
+directory to be placed in the playlist, or they can be created by hand
+using the File Menu (see page \pageref{ref:Filemenu})
+or using the Playlist Options menu.  Both  automatic and manually
+created playlists can be edited using this menu.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Create Playlist}
+Rockbox will create a playlist with all tracks in the current directory and all subdirectories. The playlist will be created one folder level ``up'' from
+where you currently are. 
+
+\item \textbf{View Current Playlist}
+Displays the contents of the playlist currently stored in memory.
+
+\item \textbf{Save Current Playlist}
+Saves the current dynamic playlist, excluding queued tracks, to the
+specified file. If no path is provided then playlist is saved to
+current directory (see page \pageref{ref:Playlistsubmenu}).
+
+\item \textbf{Recursively Insert Directories}
+If set to ON then when you insert/queue a directory in Dynamic Playlist,
+all subdirectories will also be inserted. If set to ASK then you are
+prompted about recursive insertion when inserting a directory. 
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Browse Plugins}
+With this option you can load and run various plugins that have been
+written for Rockbox.\\
+
+A detailed description of the different plugins begins on page \pageref{ref:Part5}.
+
+\section{\label{ref:Info}Info}
+This option shows MP3 ram buffer size, battery voltage level and
+estimated time remaining, disk total space and disk free space.
+
+On players use the MINUS and PLUS keys to step through several pages of
+information.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Show ID3 info}
+This is an alternative way to access the ID3 viewer.  See page
+\pageref{ref:ID3viewer} for details on the ID3 viewer.
+
+\item \textbf{Rockbox Info}
+Displays some basic system information.  This is, from top to bottom,
+the amount of memory Rockbox has available for storing music (the
+buffer), battery status, hard disk size and the amount of free space on
+the disk.
+
+\item \textbf{Version}
+Software version and credits display.
+
+\item \textbf{Debug (Keep Out!)}
+This submenu is intended to be used only by Rockbox developers. It shows
+hardware, disk, battery status and a lot of other information.  It is
+not recommended that users access this menu unless instructed to do so
+in the course of fixing a problem with Rockbox.  In particular the
+``Dump ROM Contents'', ``View/clear RTC RAM'' and
+``Screenshot'' and ``Sound test'' functions
+should be treated with care. 
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Shutdown (Player)}
+This menu option saves the Rockbox configuration and turns off the hard
+drive before shutting down the machine.  For maximum safety this
+procedure is recommended when turning off the Jukebox.  (There is a
+very small risk of hard disk corruption otherwise.) See page
+\pageref{ref:Safeshutdown} for more details.
