Save your current config file and then connect to your computer via USB and then edit and save or rename the .cfg file in the .rockbox directory for your connected device. You may want to check the rockbox manual for your device. For example, save current and then edit on computer and rename. Then use your MP3 player, change settings and save current. You then have two .cfg files. What I really suggest is you take advantage of the fixed.cfg file. Get the file exactly as you like and save it as fixed.cfg. Rockbox will then automati cally apply the file everytime you startup rockbox, so that changes you made while listening go away on a startup. You probably want to set it so that .cfg files are always opened with a text editor.
