Thanks a whole bunch for your help.
The file you suggested I download did not have the file fmrecorder? Though
It was the book-marking one. It does say that it should work with all ten
button players but as I am a rookie I decided to install the following
build:
rockbox-fmrecorder-20031104
Can I drag the bookmarking files onto the rockbox root directory with this
version already installed?
Your help has been great!

Keith
