Chapter 3. Quick Start 18
On the top of the player is the headphone socket on the left and the line-out jack on
the right. On the bottom of the player is the line-in jack on the left, the DC-In jack on
the right, and the USB connector in the centre.
3.1.2. Turning the player on and off
To turn on and off your Rockbox enabled player use the following keys:
Key Action
Long On Start Rockbox
Double tap Off
when playback is
stopped
Shutdown Rockbox
On shutdown, Rockbox automatically saves its settings.
In the unlikely event of a software failure, hardware poweroff or reset can be performed
by holding down Off 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-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 (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.
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 38)). To browse the files on your player, select Files (see section 4.1 (page 21)),
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 25)).
