Michael Chicoine | 2c50f42 | 2009-12-01 19:27:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | The FM radio has the ability to remember station frequency settings |
| 17 | (presets). Since stations and their frequencies vary depending on location, |
| 18 | it is possible to load these settings from a file. Such files should have |
| 19 | the filename extension \fname{.fmr} and reside in the directory |
| 20 | \fname{/.rockbox/fmpresets} (note that this directory does not exist after |
| 21 | the initial Rockbox installation; you should create it manually). To load |
| 22 | the settings, i.e. a set of FM stations, from a preset file, just ``play'' |
| 23 | it from the file browser. Rockbox will ``remember'' and use it in |
| 24 | \setting{PRESET} mode until another file has been selected. Some preset |
