Neither Archos nor Rockbox actually supports tuning to AM bands, probably because AM requires a real antenna (whereas the FM can use the headphone cord as an antenna). So, no AM. Installing Rockbox is as simple as copying the Rockbox file to the Archos. When the Archos is plugged into yout computer, the computer (in the presence of drivers that your computer has, or which can be installed from the Archos CDROM) treats your Archos like a drive, so it's as simple as copying the Rockbox software to the correct drive, and giving it the correct name ("ajbrec.ajz"). To get full use of Rockbox, you'll also want to create a new directory on the Archos, and place certain other files in that directory. If you use Microsoft Windows, it's slightly more complicated to create one of these directories (".rockbox") as MS-Windows doesn't allow directories with a leading dot (".") to be created from its Explorer graphical file management utility. To create this director, then, either allow your unzip software to create it, or create it form a DOS prompt with the following three commands: f: cd \ mkdir .rockbox -- Archos FM has a Rockbox!Received on 2003-07-14 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
