  26   If you put the \dap{} on a table with the joystick pointing
  27   towards you, and the curved sides at the top, you will find the following
  28   if you start from the top-right corner and follow the side of the \dap{} in a
  29   clockwise direction:
  30   On the right side the buttons \ButtonOn{}, \ButtonOff{}, \ButtonMode{} and
  31   the \ButtonHold{} switch. Next comes the USB port on the bottom,
  32   a small hole for resetting the \dap{}, then the charger plug. On the left
  33   side is the \ButtonRec{} button. The top has a headphone mini-jack plug,
  34   remote port, optical/line in and optical/line out connectors.
  35   The joystick in the middle of the \dap{} is
  36   used to navigate menus by pressing it up, down, left and right. Pressing the
  37   joystick button is labelled \ButtonSelect{} throughout this manual. Its
  38   directions are labelled \ButtonRight{}, \ButtonDown{}, \ButtonLeft{} and
  39   \ButtonUp{}.

 499 \subsection{Putting music on your \dap{}}
 500
 501 With the \dap{} connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a
 502 USB Drive), music files can be put on the player via any standard file
 503 transfer method that you would use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag 'n' Drop).
 504 The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox
 505 \opt{albumart}{%
 506     (album art searching, and missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the
 507     parent directory of a song as the Album name, and the parent directory of
 508     that folder as the Artist name. While files may be organized however you
 509     like, the \wikilink{AlbumArt} wiki page explains the requirement for Album
 510     Art to work properly, and WPSes may display information incorrectly if your
 511     files are not properly tagged, and you have your music organized in a way
 512     different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and Album
 513     names from your filetree.

 527
 528 \subsection{The first contact}
 529
 530 After you have first started the \dap{} you'll be presented by the
 531 \setting{Main Menu}. From this menu you can reach every function of Rockbox,
 532 for more information (see \reference{ref:main_menu}). To browse the files
 533 on you \dap{} select \setting{Files} (see \reference{ref:file_browser}), and to
 534 browse in a view that is based on the meta-data\footnote{ID3 Tags, Vorbis
 535 comments, etc.} of your audio files, select \setting{Database} (see
 536 \reference{ref:database}).
 537
 538 \subsection{Basic controls}
 539 When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view
 540 presented. The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be
 541 pretty intuitive.
 542 In the tree view use \ActionStdNext{} and \ActionStdPrev{} to move around
 543 the selection. Use \ActionStdOk{} to select an item. When browsing the file
 544 system selecting an audio file plays it. The view switches to the ``While
 545 playing screen'', usually abbreviated as ``WPS'' (see \reference{ref:WPS}. The
 546 dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of the current directory. This
 547 way you can easily treat directories as playlists. The created dynamic playlist can
 548 be extended or modified while playing. This is also known as
 549 ``on-the-fly playlist''.
 550 To go back to the \setting{File Browser} stop the playback with the
 551 \ActionWpsStop{} button or return to the file browser while keeping playback
 552 running using \ActionWpsBrowse{}.
 553 In list views you can go back one step with \ActionTreeParentDirectory.
 554
 555 \subsection{Basic concepts}
 556 \subsubsection{Playlists}
 557 Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file,
 558 a so-called ``dynamic playlist'' is generated, unless you play a saved
 559 playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save
 560 it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your
 561 files directory based.
 562 Playlists are covered in detail in \reference{ref:working_with_playlists}.
 563
 564 \subsubsection{Menu}
 565 From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable.
 566 Also there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used
 567 functions.
 568
 569 \subsubsection{Context Menu}
 570 Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu.
 571 From the file browser this can be accessed with \ActionStdContext{}.
 572 The contents of the context menu vary, depending on the situation it gets
 573 called. The context menu itself presents you with some operations you can
 574 perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is
 575 the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is
 576 the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply
 577 to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu
 578 gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using
 579 the context menu from within the WPS.
 580
 581 \section{Customising Rockbox}
 582 Rockbox' User Interface can be customised using ``Themes''. Themes usually
 583 only affect the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme
 584 that also changes various other settings like file view, LCD settings and
 585 all other settings that can be modified using \fname{.cfg} files. This topic
 586 is discussed in more detail in \reference{ref:manage_settings}.
 587 The Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on
 588 your \dap{}. \note{Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional
 589 fonts from the fonts package, so make sure you installed them.
 590 Also, if you downloaded additional themes from the Internet make sure you
 591 have the needed fonts installed as otherwise the theme may get displayed
 592 garbled.}
