docking station and finally on the right hand side of the bottom of the unit is a mini
USB socket for connecting directly to USB.
Finally on the right hand side of the unit are some control buttons. Going from the
bottom of the unit to the top there is a small round A buttton then a rocker volume
switch with of the Volume down button below the Volume up button. Above that is
are two more small round buttons, the Menu button and nearest to the top of the unit
the Power button, which is held down to turn the player on or off.
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.
If you have problems with your settings, such as accidentally having set the colours to
black on black, they can be reset at boot time. See the Reset Settings in section 11.3.3
(page 139) for details.
In the unlikely event of a software failure, hardware poweroff or reset can be performed
by holding down the battery switch until the player shuts off or reboots.
3.1.3 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 ’n’ Drop). 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. While files may be organized however you
like, the ZAlbumArt wiki page explains the requirement for Album Art to work properly,
and 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 A.2 (page 141) for
a list of supported audio formats.
3.1.4 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 37)). To browse the files on you player select Files (see section 4.1 (page 21)), and
