4. Browsing and playing
4.1. File Browser
Figure 4.1.: The file browser
Rockbox lets you browse your music in either of two ways. The
File Browser
lets
you navigate through the files and directories on your player, entering directories and
executing the default action on each file. To help differentiate files, each file format is
displayed with an icon.
The
Database 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
Database Browser
by selecting either
Files
or
Database
in the
Main Menu
. If you choose the
File
Browser
, the
Show Files
setting lets you select what types of files you wish to view.
See section
8.2
(page
63
) 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
Database Browser
. Read more about
Database
in section
4.2
(page

). The remainder of this section deals with the
File Browser
.
