Here's the link for the .rockbox folder that will enable the shortcuts.

Be sure to back up your original .rockbox folder onto the computer so
you can put it back if not to your liking. Just move the existing
.rockbox folder to your computer, unzip the file, and paste this
different .rockbox folder in the root directory of your Clip Zip.
Safely remove and then restart your player. Since this .rockbox folder
includes the config.cfg file to make it work right, any personal
settings you've changed on your player will be gone, so you may need
to readjust your settings to your liking as needed.

Sure, I'll give it a go. I can always revert to the old way by
replacing the original config and removing any extra file I might be
ading.

Hello all,
Well, after doing some research, there is a way to create a shortcut
to speak the time and date. I had to modify the config.cfg file and
add a file to the .rockbox folder.
This is what it would be like:
A shortcuts menu item is added to the main menu following the system
menu item at the bottom of the main menu.
If one just wants to hear the time and date, one can turn on the
player, arrow up once, to the shortcuts menu item and click enter
twice and it will speak the time and date. Then just turn the player
off.
if you're playing a track and want to hear the time and date, just
click the back button which takes you to the first menu item in the
main menu. Then arrow up once to the shortcuts menu item and click
enter twice to hear the time and date. To return to playback mode,
left arrow once to the main menu and click the back button.
I haven't had any luck yet in having the contents of the shortcuts
menu item spoken though, which is fine as long as there's just one
item in there and have yet to sort out if or how to have the battery
level spoken by a shortcut. I have only tried it on a Clip Zip thus
far. If anyone with a Clip Zip wants to try it, I can zip it up and
pass it on.
That's the latest.

Laz
