Rockbox Directory Browser

User Manual Front Page

In the dir browser, you will see the files and directories that are put in the directory you are currently browsing. You will see tiny symbols on the left side of each entry that shows what kind of entry it is.

Dir browser
mp3 icon mp3 file
m3u icon m3u file
folder icon folder

If you have enabled 'mp3/m3u filter' in the global settings, only files ending with .mp3 or .m3u will be displayed in the browser.

Buttons:

UP Move upwards in the list, if it already is on the topmost entry, you'll see the cursor moved to the last entry in the list.
DOWN Move downwards in the list, if it already is on the last entry, you'll see the cursor moved to the first entry in the list.
LEFT Move "up" one directory level to the parent directory.
RIGHT If the cursor is now on a line of a directory, the browser will switch into browsing that directory. If the cursor is on a line with a file, special actions are peformed depending on the file type. If the file is an mp3 file, it'll jump into the WPS and start playing this file. If the file is an m3u file (playlist), the list will first be loaded and then pop up the WPS showing the first file that gets played from the list. If you have 'shuffle' selected in the global settings, the playlist will be shuffled directly after having been loaded, otherwise it'll be played in a straight top-to-bottom fashion.
PLAY The same as RIGHT
ON If there is an mp3 playing, this'll switch back the WPS.
OFF If there is an mp3 playing, this stops playback.
F1 Switches to the main menu.
