Chapter 3. Quick Start
21
At the top of the back side of the player, just under the
Hold
button is the reset hole,
if you need to perform a hardware reset.
The USB/dock connector that is used to connect your player to your computer is on
the bottom panel of the player.
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
Play
Start Rockbox
Long
Play
Shutdown Rockbox
On shutdown, Rockbox automatically saves its settings.
In the unlikely event of a software failure, a hardware reset can be performed by
inserting a paperclip gently into the Reset hole.
3.1.3. Starting the original firmware
Rockbox has a dual-boot feature. It loads the original firmware from the file
/System/OF.mi4
.
To boot into the original firmware, press and hold for awhile the
Play
button and then
immediately after the Samsung logo appears, press the
Left
button and keep it pressed
until the original firmware starts.
3.1.4. Putting music on your player
Note:
Due to a bug in some OS X versions, the player can not be mounted, unless the
b
USB HID feature is disabled. See section
(page
) for more information.
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
(page
) for the requirements
for Album Art to work properly.
See section
(page
) for a list of supported
audio formats.
