A configuration file may reside anywhere on the hard disk. Multiple configuration
files are permitted. So, for example, you could have a car.cfg file for the settings that
you use while playing your jukebox in your car, and a headphones.cfg file to store
the settings that you use while listening to your player through headphones.
See section
8.3.2
(page 52) below for an explanation of the format for configuration
files. See section

8.3.2. Specifications for .cfg files.
The Rockbox configuration file is a plain text file, so once you use the W
option to create the file, you can edit the file on your computer using any text editor
program. See Appendix section
use the following formatting rules:
1. Each setting must be on a separate line.
2. Each line has the format "setting: value".
3. Values must be within the ranges specified in this manual for each setting.
4. Lines starting with # are ignored. This lets you write comments into your config-
uration files.
Example of a configuration file:
Example configuration file
volume: 70
bass: 11
treble: 12
balance: 0
time format: 12hour
volume display: numeric
show files: supported
wps: /.rockbox/car.wps
lang: /.rockbox/afrikaans.lng
Note: As you can see from the example, configuration files do not need to contain all
of the Rockbox options. You can create configuration files that change only certain
settings. So, for example, supppose you typically use the playerat one volume in the car,
and another when using headphones. Further, suppose you like to use an inverse LCD
when you are in the car, and a regular LCD setting when you are using headphones.
You could create configuration files that control only the volume and LCD settings.
Create a few different files with different settings, give each file a different name (such
as car.cfg, headphones.cfg, etc.), and you can then use the B
option to quickly change settings.
