+\chapter{Browsing and playing}
+\section{\label{ref:file_browser}File Browser}
+\screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-file-browser}{The file browser}{}
+Rockbox lets you browse your music in either of two ways. The
+\setting{File Browser} lets you navigate through the files and folders on
+your \dap, entering folders and executing the default action on each file.
+To help differentiate files, each file format is displayed with an icon.
+
+The \setting{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 \setting{File Browser} or the
+\setting{Database Browser} by selecting either \setting{Files} or
+\setting{Database} in the \setting{Main Menu}.
+If you choose the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{Show Files} setting
+lets you select what types of files you wish to view. See
+\reference{ref:ShowFiles} for more information on the \setting{Show Files}
+setting.
+
+\note{The \setting{File Browser} allows you to manipulate your files in ways
+that are not available within the \setting{Database Browser}. Read more about
+\setting{Database} in \reference{ref:database}. The remainder of this section
+deals with the \setting{File Browser}.}
+
+\opt{ondio}{
+Unlike the Archos Firmware, Rockbox provides multivolume support for the
+MultiMediaCard, this means the \dap{} can access both data volumes (internal
+memory and the MMC), thus being able to for instance, build playlists with
+files from both volumes.
+In the \setting{File Browser} a new folder will appear as soon as the device
+has read the content after inserting the card. This new folder's name is
+generated as \fname{<MMC1>}, and will behave exactly as any other folder
+on the \dap{}.
+}
+
+\opt{h10,h10_5gb}{\note{
+If your \dap{} is a MTP model, the Music folder where all your music is stored
+may be hidden in the \setting{File Browser}. This may be fixed by either
+either changing it's properties (on a computer) to not hidden, or by changing
+the \setting{Show Files} setting to all.

+\subsection{\label{ref:Filemenu}\label{ref:PartIISectionFM}File Menu}
+\screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-file-menu}{The File Menu}{}
+
+The \setting{File Menu} allows you to perform certain operations on files or
+folders. To access the \setting{File Menu}, position the selector over a file
+or folder and access the context menu with \ActionStdContext{}.
+
+\note{The \setting{File Menu} is a context sensitive menu. If the
+\setting{File Menu} is invoked on a file, it will display options available
+for files. If the \setting{File Menu} is invoked on a folder or directory,
+it will display options for directories.}
+
+The \setting{File Menu} contains the following options (unless otherwise noted,
+each option pertains both to files and directories):
+
+\begin{description}
+\item [Playlist.]
+ Enters the \setting{Playlist Submenu} (see \reference{ref:playlist_submenu}).
+\item [Rename.]
+ This function lets the user modify the name of a file or directory.
+\item [Cut.]
+ Copies the name of the currently selected file or directory to the clipboard
+ and marks it to be `cut'.
+\item [Copy.]
+ Copies the name of the currently selected file or directory to the clipboard
+ and marks it to be `copied'.
+\item [Paste.]
+ Only visible if a file or directory name is on the clipboard. When selected
+ it will move or copy the clipboard to the current directory.
+\item [Delete.]
+ Deletes the currently selected file. This option applies only to files, and
+ not to directories. Rockbox will ask for confirmation before deleting a file.
+ Press \ActionYesNoAccept{}
+ to confirm deletion or any other key to cancel.
+\item [Delete Directory.]
+ Deletes the currently selected directory and all of the files and folders
+ contained in the selected directory. Deleted directories cannot be recovered.
+ Use this feature with caution!
+\item [Open with.]
+ Runs a viewer plugin on the file. Normally, when a file is selected in Rockbox,
+ Rockbox automatically detects the file type and runs the appropriate plugin.
+ The \setting{Open With} function can be used to override the default action and
+ select a viewer by hand.
+ For example, this function can be used to view a text file
+ even if the file has a non-standard extension (i.e., the file has an extension
+ of something other than \fname{.txt}). See \reference{ref:Viewersplugins}
+ for more details on viewers.
+\item [Create Directory.]
+ Create a new folder in the current folder on the disk.
+\item [Properties.]
+ Shows properties such as size and the time and date of the last modification
+ for the selected file. If used on a directory, the number of files and sub
+ directories in that directory will be shown, as well as the total size.
