649 \subsection{Putting music on your
\dap{}}
652 \note{Due to a bug in some OS X versions, the
\dap{} can not be mounted, unless
653 the USB HID feature is disabled. See
\reference{ref:USB_HID
} for more
658 With the
\dap{} connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a
659 USB Drive), music files can be put on the player via any standard file
660 transfer method that you would use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag 'n' Drop).
661 The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox
663 (album art searching, and missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the
664 parent directory of a song as the Album name, and the parent directory of
665 that folder as the Artist name. While files may be organized however you
666 like, see
\reference{ref:album_art
} for the requirements for Album
667 Art to work properly, and WPSes may display information incorrectly if your
668 files are not properly tagged, and you have your music organized in a way
669 different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and Album
670 names from your filetree.
673 (missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the parent directory of a song
674 as the Album name, and the parent directory of that folder as the Artist
675 name. While files may be organized however you like, WPSes may display
676 information incorrectly if your files are not properly tagged, and you have
677 your music organized in a way different than they assume when attempting to
678 guess the Artist and Album names from your filetree.
681 See
\reference{ref:Supportedaudioformats
} for a list of supported audio
685 \subsection{The first contact
}
687 After you have first started the
\dap{}, you'll be presented by the
688 \setting{Main Menu
}. From this menu you can reach every function of Rockbox,
689 for more information (see
\reference{ref:main_menu
}). To browse the files
690 on you
\dap{}, select
\setting{Files
} (see
\reference{ref:file_browser
}), and to
691 browse in a view that is based on the meta-data
\footnote{ID3 Tags, Vorbis
692 comments, etc.
} of your audio files, select
\setting{Database
} (see
693 \reference{ref:database
}).
695 \subsection{Basic controls
}
696 When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view
697 presented. The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be
699 In the tree view use
\ActionStdNext{} and
\ActionStdPrev{} to move around
700 the selection. Use
\ActionStdOk{} to select an item.
\opt{wheel_acceleration
}{
701 Note that the scroll speed is accelerating the faster you rotate the wheel.
}
702 When browsing the file system selecting an audio file plays it. The view
703 switches to the ``While playing screen'', usually abbreviated as ``WPS'' (see
704 \reference{ref:WPS
}. The dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of
705 the current directory. This way you can easily treat directories as playlists.
706 The created dynamic playlist can be extended or modified while playing. This is
707 also known as ``on-the-fly playlist''.
708 To go back to the
\setting{File Browser
} stop the playback with the
709 \ActionWpsStop{} button or return to the file browser while keeping playback
710 running using
\ActionWpsBrowse{}.
711 In list views you can go back one step with
\ActionTreeParentDirectory.
713 \subsection{Basic concepts
}
714 \subsubsection{Playlists
}
715 Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file,
716 a so-called ``dynamic playlist'' is generated, unless you play a saved
717 playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save
718 it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your
719 files directory based.
720 Playlists are covered in detail in
\reference{ref:working_with_playlists
}.
723 From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable.
724 Also there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used
727 \subsubsection{Context Menu
}
728 Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu.
729 From the file browser this can be accessed with
\ActionStdContext{}.
730 The contents of the context menu vary, depending on the situation it gets
731 called. The context menu itself presents you with some operations you can
732 perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is
733 the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is
734 the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply
735 to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu
736 gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using
737 the context menu from within the WPS.
739 \section{Customising Rockbox
}
740 Rockbox' User Interface can be customised using ``Themes''. Themes usually
741 only affect the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme
742 that also changes various other settings like file view, LCD settings and
743 all other settings that can be modified using
\fname{.cfg
} files. This topic
744 is discussed in more detail in
\reference{ref:manage_settings
}.
745 The Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on
749 \note{Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional
750 fonts from the fonts package, so make sure you installed them.
751 Also, if you downloaded additional themes from the Internet make sure you
752 have the needed fonts installed as otherwise the theme may not display
758 \section{USB Charging
}
760 The
\dap{} can be charged over USB without connecting to your
761 computer by holding
\ActionStdUsbCharge{} while plugging in. This
762 allows you to continue using the
\dap{} normally.
769 The
\dap{} can be powered over USB without connecting to your
