6 % include the front image. Using \specimg makes this fairly easy,
7 % but requires to use the exact value of \specimg in the filename!
8 % The extension is selected in the preamble, so no further \ifpdfoutput
9 % is necessary.
11 % The check looks for a png file -- we use png for the HTML manual, so that
12 % format needs to be present. It can also be used for the pdf manual, but
13 % usually we provide a pdf version of the file for that. Picking the correct
14 % one is done by LaTeX automatically, but for checking the filename we need to
15 % specify the extension.

733 \subsection{Putting music on your \dap{}}
735 \opt{usb_hid}{
736 \note{Due to a bug in some OS X versions, the \dap{} can not be mounted, unless
737 the USB HID feature is disabled. See \reference{ref:USB_HID} for more
738 information.\newline
742 With the \dap{} connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a
743 USB Drive), music files can be put on the player via any standard file
744 transfer method that you would use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag-and-Drop).
745 Files may be placed wherever you like on the \dap{}, but it is strongly
746 suggested \emph{NOT} to put them in the \fname{/.rockbox} folder and instead
747 put them in any other folder, e.g. \fname{/}, \fname{/music} or \fname{/audio}.
748 The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox
749 \opt{albumart}{%
750 (album art searching, and missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the
751 parent directory of a song as the Album name, and the parent directory of
752 that folder as the Artist name. WPSes may display information incorrectly if
753 your files are not properly tagged, and you have your music organized in a
754 way different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and Album
755 names from your filetree. See \reference{ref:album_art} for the requirements
756 for Album Art to work properly.
758 \nopt{albumart}{%
759 (missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the parent directory of a song
760 as the Album name, and the parent directory of that folder as the Artist
761 name. WPSes may display
762 information incorrectly if your files are not properly tagged, and you have
763 your music organized in a way different than they assume when attempting to
764 guess the Artist and Album names from your filetree.
766 \opt{swcodec}{
767 See \reference{ref:Supportedaudioformats} for a list of supported audio
768 formats.
771 \subsection{The first contact}
773 After you have first started the \dap{}, you'll be presented by the
774 \setting{Main Menu}. From this menu you can reach every function of Rockbox,
775 for more information (see \reference{ref:main_menu}). To browse the files
776 on your \dap{}, select \setting{Files} (see \reference{ref:file_browser}), and to
777 browse in a view that is based on the meta-data\footnote{ID3 Tags, Vorbis
778 comments, etc.} of your audio files, select \setting{Database} (see
779 \reference{ref:database}).
781 \subsection{Basic controls}
782 When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view
783 presented. The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be
784 pretty intuitive.
785 In the tree view use \ActionStdNext{} and \ActionStdPrev{} to move around
786 the selection. Use \ActionStdOk{} to select an item. \opt{wheel_acceleration}{
787 Note that the scroll speed is accelerating the faster you rotate the wheel.}
788 When browsing the file system selecting an audio file plays it. The view
789 switches to the ``While playing screen'', usually abbreviated as ``WPS'' (see
790 \reference{ref:WPS}. The dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of
791 the current directory. This way you can easily treat directories as playlists.
792 The created dynamic playlist can be extended or modified while playing. This is
793 also known as ``on-the-fly playlist''.
794 To go back to the \setting{File Browser} stop the playback with the
795 \ActionWpsStop{} button or return to the file browser while keeping playback
796 running using \ActionWpsBrowse{}.
797 In list views you can go back one step with \ActionTreeParentDirectory.
799 \subsection{Basic concepts}
800 \subsubsection{Playlists}
801 Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file,
802 a so-called ``dynamic playlist'' is generated, unless you play a saved
803 playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save
804 it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your
805 files directory based.
806 Playlists are covered in detail in \reference{ref:working_with_playlists}.
808 \subsubsection{Menu}
809 From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable.
810 Also there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used
811 functions.
813 \subsubsection{Context Menu}
814 Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu.
815 From the file browser this can be accessed with \ActionStdContext{}.
816 The contents of the context menu vary, depending on the situation it gets
817 called. The context menu itself presents you with some operations you can
818 perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is
819 the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is
820 the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply
821 to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu
822 gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using
823 the context menu from within the WPS.
825 \section{Customising Rockbox}
826 Rockbox' User Interface can be customised using ``Themes''. Themes usually
827 only affect the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme
828 that also changes various other settings like file view, LCD settings and
829 all other settings that can be modified using \fname{.cfg} files. This topic
830 is discussed in more detail in \reference{ref:manage_settings}.
831 The Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on
832 your \dap{}.
834 \opt{lcd_bitmap}{
835 \note{Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional
836 fonts from the fonts package, so make sure you installed them.
837 Also, if you downloaded additional themes from the Internet make sure you
838 have the needed fonts installed as otherwise the theme may not display
839 properly.}
842 \nopt{ondio}{
843 \opt{usb_power}{
844 \section{USB Charging}
845 To charge your \dap{} over USB, hold any button while plugging it
846 in. This will prevent it from connecting to your computer and let you
847 continue to use it normally. Your \dap{} must already be in Rockbox for this
848 to function.
849 \nopt{fuzeplus}{
850 \note{Be aware that this button may still perform its normal function, so
851 it is recommended to use a button without harmful side effects, such as
852 \ActionStdUsbCharge{}.}
857 \opt{ondio}{
858 \section{USB Power}
860 To power your \dap{} over USB, hold \ActionStdUsbCharge{} while plugging it
861 in. This will prevent it from connecting to your computer and let you
862 continue to use it normally. Your \dap{} must already be in Rockbox for this
863 to function.
