\section{Basic Overview}
|
|
\subsection{The \daps{} controls}
|
|
|
|
% include the front image. Using \specimg makes this fairly easy,
|
|
% but requires to use the exact value of \specimg in the filename!
|
|
% The extension is selected in the preamble, so no further \ifpdfoutput
|
|
% is necessary.
|
|
%
|
|
% The check looks for a png file -- we use png for the HTML manual, so that
|
|
% format needs to be present. It can also be used for the pdf manual, but
|
|
% usually we provide a pdf version of the file for that. Picking the correct
|
|
% one is done by LaTeX automatically, but for checking the filename we need to
|
|
% specify the extension.

the \ButtonUp{}, \ButtonRight{}, \ButtonLeft{}, and \ButtonDown{} buttons when
|
|
pressed in the appropriate direction. Pressing the joystick down functions as
|
|
\ButtonSelect{}.
|
|
On the right side of the \dap{} are the \ButtonOn{}, \ButtonOff{},
|
|
\ButtonMode{} buttons, and the \ButtonHold{} switch. When this switch is
|
|
switched towards the bottom of the \dap{}, hold is on, and none of the other

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
|
|
transfer method that you would use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag-and-Drop).
|
|
Files may be placed wherever you like on the \dap{}, but it is strongly
|
|
suggested \emph{NOT} to put them in the \fname{/.rockbox} folder and instead
|
|
put them in any other folder, e.g. \fname{/}, \fname{/music} or \fname{/audio}.

\subsection{The first contact}
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
on your \dap{}, select \setting{Files} (see \reference{ref:file_browser}), and to
|
|
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}).
|
|
|
|
\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
|
|
pretty intuitive.
|
|
In the tree view use \ActionStdNext{} and \ActionStdPrev{} to move around
|
|
the selection. Use \ActionStdOk{} to select an item. \opt{wheel_acceleration}{
|
|
Note that the scroll speed is accelerating the faster you rotate the wheel.}
|
|
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 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 be extended or modified while playing. This is
|
|
also known as ``on-the-fly playlist''.
|
|
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{}.
|
|
In list views you can go back one step with \ActionTreeParentDirectory.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Basic concepts}
|
|
\subsubsection{Playlists}
|
|
Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file,
|
|
a so-called ``dynamic playlist'' is generated, unless you play a saved
|
|
playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save
|
|
it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your
|
|
files directory based.
|
|
Playlists are covered in detail in \reference{ref:working_with_playlists}.
|
|
|
|
\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.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Context Menu}
|
|
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
|
|
perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is
|
|
the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is
|
|
the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply
|
|
to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu
|
|
gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using
|
|
the context menu from within the WPS.
|
|
|
|
\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
|
|
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{}.
|
|
|
|
\opt{lcd_bitmap}{
|
|
\note{Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional
|
|
fonts from the fonts package, so make sure you installed them.

|
To charge your \dap{} over USB, hold any button while plugging it
|
|
in. This will prevent it from connecting to your computer and let you
|
|
continue to use it normally. Your \dap{} must already be in Rockbox for this
|
|
to function.

\note{Be aware that this button may still perform its normal function, so
|

it is recommended to use a button without harmful side effects, such as
|
|
\ActionStdUsbCharge{}.}
