On the left hand side, the higher of the two small buttons is the \ButtonOn ,
the lower of the two buttons is the \ButtonMenu { } button. The large circular

\subsection { Putting music on your \dap { } }
2008-08-11 22:47:17 +00:00
With the \dap { } connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a
USB Drive), music files can be put on the player via any standard file
2008-06-24 06:02:00 +00:00
transfer method that you would use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag 'n' Drop).
2008-08-11 22:47:17 +00:00
The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox
(album art searching, WPS missing-tag fallback) is: /ArtistName/AlbumName/*.ext.
See \reference { ref:Supportedaudioformats} for a list of supported audio formats.

\subsection { The first contact}
2007-03-03 00:07:31 +00:00
After you have first started the \dap { } you'll be presented by the
\setting { Main Menu} . From this menu you can reach every function of Rockbox,
for more information (see \reference { ref:main_ menu} ). To browse the files
2007-05-01 15:39:55 +00:00
on you \dap { } select \setting { Files} (see \reference { ref:file_ browser} ), and to
2007-03-03 00:07:31 +00:00
browse in a view that is based on the meta-data\footnote { ID3 Tags, Vorbis
comments, etc.} of your audio files, select \setting { Database} (see
\reference { ref:database} ).
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
\subsection { Basic controls}
When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view
presented. The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be
2006-08-27 15:00:50 +00:00
pretty intuitive.
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
In the tree view use \ActionStdNext { } and \ActionStdPrev { } to move around
the selection. Use \ActionStdOk { } to select an item. When browsing the file
system selecting an audio file plays it. The view switches to the ``While
playing screen'', usually abbreviated as ``WPS'' (see \reference { ref:WPS} . The
2007-12-14 02:03:58 +00:00
dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of the current directory. This
way you can easily treat directories as playlists. The created dynamic playlist can
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
be extended or modified while playing. This is also known as
``on-the-fly playlist''.
2006-09-03 16:02:05 +00:00
To go back to the \setting { File Browser} stop the playback with the
\ActionWpsStop { } button or return to the file browser while keeping playback
running using \ActionWpsBrowse { } .
2007-03-03 00:07:31 +00:00
In list views you can go back one step with \ActionTreeParentDirectory .
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
\subsection { Basic concepts}
\subsubsection { Playlists}
2006-08-28 22:03:16 +00:00
Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file,
2006-10-13 16:19:30 +00:00
a so-called ``dynamic playlist'' is generated, unless you play a saved
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save
2008-02-13 13:32:44 +00:00
it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your
2007-12-14 02:03:58 +00:00
files directory based.
2006-10-13 16:19:30 +00:00
Playlists are covered in detail in \reference { ref:working_ with_ playlists} .
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
\subsubsection { Menu}
From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable.
Also there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used
functions.
2006-08-28 22:03:16 +00:00
\subsubsection { Context Menu}
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu.
From the file browser this can be accessed with \ActionStdContext { } .
The contents of the context menu vary, depending on the situation it gets
called. The context menu itself presents you with some operations you can
2006-10-17 12:18:51 +00:00
perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is
2007-12-14 02:03:58 +00:00
the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is
2008-02-13 13:32:44 +00:00
the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu
2006-08-28 22:03:16 +00:00
gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using
the context menu from within the WPS.

2006-10-17 12:18:51 +00:00
\section { Customising Rockbox}
Rockbox' User Interface can be customised using ``Themes''. Themes usually
only affect the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
that also changes various other settings like file view, LCD settings and
all other settings that can be modified using \fname { .cfg} files. This topic
is discussed in more detail in \reference { ref:manage_ settings} .
The Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on
your \dap { } . \note { Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional
fonts from the fonts package, so make sure you installed them.
2006-10-17 12:18:51 +00:00
Also, if you downloaded additional themes from the Internet make sure you
2006-08-25 15:58:02 +00:00
have the needed fonts installed as otherwise the theme may get displayed
garbled.}
