Chapter 3. Quick Start 20
3.1.2. Turning the player on and off
To turn on and off your Rockbox enabled player use the following keys:
Key Action
Power Start Rockbox
Long Power Shutdown Rockbox
On shutdown, Rockbox automatically saves its settings.
3.1.3. Starting the original firmware
Rockbox has a dual-boot feature. To boot into the original firmware, press and hold the
Left button while turning on the player.
3.1.4. Putting music on your player
With the player connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a USB Drive),
music files can be put on the player via any standard file transfer method that you would
use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag-and-Drop). Files may be placed wherever
you like on the player, but it is strongly suggested NOT to put them in the /.rockbox
folder and instead put them in any other folder, e.g. /, /music or /audio. The default
directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox (album art searching, and
missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the parent directory of a song as the Album
name, and the parent directory of that folder as the Artist name. WPSes may display
information incorrectly if your files are not properly tagged, and you have your music
organized in a way different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and
Album names from your filetree. See section C (page 179) for the requirements for
Album Art to work properly. See section B.1 (page 173) for a list of supported audio
formats.
3.1.5. The first contact
After you have first started the player, you’ll be presented by the Main Menu. From
this menu you can reach every function of Rockbox, for more information (see section 5.1
(page 39)). To browse the files on your player, select Files (see section 4.1 (page 23)),
and to browse in a view that is based on the meta-data
1
of your audio files, select
Database (see section 4.2 (page 27)).
3.1.6. Basic controls
When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view presented.
The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be pretty intuitive. In the
