 406   middle button there are four radial arc shaped buttons placed in a cross formation
 407   with the circular play button as the centre of the cross. These are the navigation
 408   controls. Below the cross and to the left are two other buttons.
 409
 410   The \ButtonOn{} button is the leftmost of the two buttons located below and to the
 411   left of the navigation controls whereas the rightmost and little lower one of
 412   these two is called \ButtonOff{}. The round button raised slightly higher than the
 413   others in the centre of the navigation controls is the \ButtonPlay{} button.  To
 414   the right of the \ButtonPlay{} button  there is the \ButtonRight{} button, left of
 415   it is the \ButtonLeft{}, above it \ButtonUp{}, and below the \ButtonPlay{} button
 416   there is the \ButtonDown{} button  placed. In the row of three rectangular buttons
 417   the following buttons can be found (from left to right): \ButtonFOne{}, \ButtonFTwo{}
 418   and \ButtonFThree{}.

 545 \subsection{Putting music on your \dap{}}
 546
 547 With the \dap{} connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a
 548 USB Drive), music files can be put on the player via any standard file
 549 transfer method that you would use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag 'n' Drop).
 550 The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox
 551 \opt{albumart}{%
 552     (album art searching, and missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the
 553     parent directory of a song as the Album name, and the parent directory of
 554     that folder as the Artist name. While files may be organized however you
 555     like, see \reference{ref:album_art} for the requirements for Album
 556     Art to work properly, and WPSes may display information incorrectly if your
 557     files are not properly tagged, and you have your music organized in a way
 558     different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and Album
 559     names from your filetree.

 573
 574 \subsection{The first contact}
 575
 576 After you have first started the \dap{}, you'll be presented by the
 577 \setting{Main Menu}. From this menu you can reach every function of Rockbox,
 578 for more information (see \reference{ref:main_menu}). To browse the files
 579 on you \dap{}, select \setting{Files} (see \reference{ref:file_browser}), and to
 580 browse in a view that is based on the meta-data\footnote{ID3 Tags, Vorbis
 581 comments, etc.} of your audio files, select \setting{Database} (see
 582 \reference{ref:database}).
 583
 584 \subsection{Basic controls}
 585 When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view
 586 presented. The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be
 587 pretty intuitive.
 588 In the tree view use \ActionStdNext{} and \ActionStdPrev{} to move around
 589 the selection. Use \ActionStdOk{} to select an item. When browsing the file
 590 system selecting an audio file plays it. The view switches to the ``While
 591 playing screen'', usually abbreviated as ``WPS'' (see \reference{ref:WPS}. The
 592 dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of the current directory. This
 593 way you can easily treat directories as playlists. The created dynamic playlist can
 594 be extended or modified while playing. This is also known as
 595 ``on-the-fly playlist''.
 596 To go back to the \setting{File Browser} stop the playback with the
 597 \ActionWpsStop{} button or return to the file browser while keeping playback
 598 running using \ActionWpsBrowse{}.
 599 In list views you can go back one step with \ActionTreeParentDirectory.
 600
 601 \subsection{Basic concepts}
 602 \subsubsection{Playlists}
 603 Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file,
 604 a so-called ``dynamic playlist'' is generated, unless you play a saved
 605 playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save
 606 it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your
 607 files directory based.
 608 Playlists are covered in detail in \reference{ref:working_with_playlists}.
 609
 610 \subsubsection{Menu}
 611 From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable.
 612 Also there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used
 613 functions.
 614
 615 \subsubsection{Context Menu}
 616 Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu.
 617 From the file browser this can be accessed with \ActionStdContext{}.
 618 The contents of the context menu vary, depending on the situation it gets
 619 called. The context menu itself presents you with some operations you can
 620 perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is
 621 the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is
 622 the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply
 623 to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu
 624 gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using
 625 the context menu from within the WPS.
 626
 627 \section{Customising Rockbox}
 628 Rockbox' User Interface can be customised using ``Themes''. Themes usually
 629 only affect the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme
 630 that also changes various other settings like file view, LCD settings and
 631 all other settings that can be modified using \fname{.cfg} files. This topic
 632 is discussed in more detail in \reference{ref:manage_settings}.
 633 The Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on
 634 your \dap{}. \note{Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional
 635 fonts from the fonts package, so make sure you installed them.
 636 Also, if you downloaded additional themes from the Internet make sure you
 637 have the needed fonts installed as otherwise the theme may get displayed
 638 garbled.}

 642     \section{Charging}
 643     The \dap{} can be powered over USB without connecting to your computer by holding \ActionStdUsbCharge{} while plugging in. This allows you to continue using the \dap{} normally.

 649             As soon as your computer marks the \dap{} as unused (e.g. after you eject or safely remove the device), you can switch the device to charging mode by pressing \ActionStdUsbCharge{}. Pressing \ActionStdUsbCharge{} while the computer is still actively communicating with the \dap{} has no effect.
