eect whatsoever on actual battery life. This setting only aects the accuracy of the battery life estimation as shown on screen.

Charge During USB Connection: This option lets you control whether the player should charge during the USB connection and hence draw the full 500mA. Turning it Off is recommended if the dap is connected through an unpowered USB hub or a laptop port.

8.5.3	Disk
Options relating to the hard disk.
Disk Spindown:		Rockbox has a timer that makes it spin down the hard disk after it is
	idle for a certain amount of time. This setting controls the amount of time between
	the last user activity and the time that the disk spins down. This idle time is only
	aected by user activity, like navigating through the File Browser. When the
	hard disk spins up to ll the audio buer, it automatically spins down afterwards.
Directory Cache:		Rockbox has the ability to cache the contents of your drive in RAM.
	The Directory Cache takes a small amount of memory away from Rockbox
	that would otherwise be used to buer music, but it speeds up navigation in the
	le browser by eliminating the slight pause between the time a navigation button
	is pressed and the time Rockbox responds. Turning this setting on activates the
	directory cache, and turning it o deactivates the directory cache.		b
	Note: The rst time you enable the directory cache, Rockbox will request a reboot
	of the player and upon restarting take a few minutes to scan the drive. After this,
	the directory cache will work in the background.
8.5.4	Idle Powero
Rockbox can be congured to turn o power after the unit has been idle for a dened
number of minutes. The player is idle when playback is stopped or paused. It is not idle
while the USB or charger is connected . Settings are either Off or 1 to 10 minutes in
1 minute steps. Then 15,30,45 and 60 minutes are available.
8.5.5	Limits

This sub menu relates to limits in the Rockbox operating system.

Max Entries in File Browser: This setting controls the limit on the number of les that you can put in any particular directory in the le browser. You can congure the size to be between 50 and 10,000 les in steps of 50. The default is 400. Higher values will shorten the music buer, so you should increase this setting only if you have directories with a large number of les.
