To turn on and off your Rockbox enabled player use the following keys:

by holding down

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 (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, 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

)). To browse the files on you player, select
Files
(see section
4.1
(page
20
)), 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
23
)).
3.1.5 Basic controls
When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view presented.
The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be pretty intuitive. In
