CHAPTER 3. THE ROCKBOX INTERFACE 13
On shutdown, Rockbox automatically saves its settings. In the unlikely event of a
software failure, a hardware power off can be performed by holding down Stop until
the player power light goes off.
3.2. File Browser
Figure 3.1.: The file browser
Rockbox lets you browse your music in either of two ways. The FILE BROWSER lets you
navigate through the files and folders on your player, entering folders and executing
the default action on each file. To help differentiate files, each file format is displayed
with an icon.
The TAG CACHE BROWSER, on the other hand, allows you to navigate through the
music on your player using categories like album, artist, genre, etc.
You can select whether to browse using the FILE BROWSER or the TAG CACHE BROWSER
by adjusting the SHOW FILES setting. If you choose the FILE BROWSER, the SHOW FILES
setting also lets you select what types of files you wish to view. See section 6.2 (page
30) for more information on the SHOW FILES setting.
Note: The FILE BROWSER allows you to manipulate your files in ways that are not
b
available within the TAG CACHE BROWSER. Read more about TAG CACHE in section
3.3 (page 17). The remainder of this section deals with the FILE BROWSER.
