  If you lay the \dap\ on the table with the joystick pointing 
  towards you, and the curved sides at the top, you will find the following 
  if you start from the top-right corner and follow the side of the \dap: 
  \ButtonOn, \ButtonOff, \ButtonMode, USB port, a small hole for resetting the 
  \dap, charger plug, \ButtonRec, headphone minijack plug, remote port, 
  optical/line in, optical/line out. The joystick in the middle of the \dap\ is 
  used to navigate menus by pressing it up, down, left and right. Pressing the 
  joystick down is labelled \ButtonSelect\ throughout this manual. }
  % 
  \opt{h300}{
  Hold the lay the \dap\ so that the side with the button pad and 
  LCD is facing towards you.  The buttons on the button pad are as follows:  top 
  left corner: \ButtonOn, bottom left corner: \ButtonOff, top right corner: 
  \ButtonRec, bottom right corner: \ButtonMode.  In the center of the button pad 
  is a button labelled \ButtonSelect.  Surrounding the \ButtonSelect\ button are 
  four directional buttons used to navigate up, down, left and right.
  
  On the top panel of the \dap, from left to right, you can find the 
  following: headphone minijack plug, remote port, Line-in, Line-out. 
  
  On the bottom panel of the \dap, from left to right, you can find the 
  following:  power jack and two USB ports.  The USB port on the right is used 
  to connect your \dap\ to your computer.  The USB port on the left is not 
  used in Rockbox.

  \opt{ipod4g,ipodcolor,ipodvideo,ipodmini}
  { 
  The main controls on the \dap\ are a slightly indented scroll wheel 
  with a flat round button in the center. Hold the \dap\ with these controls 
  facing you. 

  The top of the player will have the following, from left to 
  right:
  \opt{ipod4g,ipodcolor}{remote connector, headphone jack, hold switch.}
  \opt{ipodvideo}{hold switch, headphone jack.}
  \opt{ipodmini}{hold switch, remote connector, headphone jack.}	

  The dock connector that is used to connect your \dap\ to your computer is on 
  the bottom panel of the \dap.

  The button in the middle of the wheel is called \ButtonSelect. You can
  operate the wheel by pressing the top, bottom, left or right sections,
  or by sliding your finger around it.  The top is \ButtonMenu, the bottom is
  \ButtonPlay, the left is \ButtonLeft, and the right is \ButtonRight.
  When the manual says to \ButtonScrollFwd, it means to slide your finger
  clockwise around the wheel. \ButtonScrollBack\ means to slide your finger
  counterclockwise. Note that the wheel is sensitive, so you will need to move
  slowly at first and get a feel for how it works.
  
  Note that when the hold switch is pushed toward the center of the \dap, 
  ``hold'' is on, and none of the other controls do anything.  Be sure ``hold'' 
  is off before trying to use your player.

\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{Tag Cache 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{Tag Cache Browser} by adjusting the \setting{Show Files} setting.  
If you choose the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{Show Files} setting also
lets you select what types of files you wish to view.  See page 
\pageref{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{Tag Cache Browser}.  Read more about
\setting{Tag Cache} in Section \ref{ref:tagcache}.  The remainder of this section deals with the \setting{File Browser}.}

\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 
	\opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD,IAUDIO_X5_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD}
		{hold the \ButtonSelect\ button.}
	\opt{RECORDER_PAD,PLAYER_PAD}{press the \ButtonPlay/\ButtonOn+\ButtonPlay\ 
	  buttons.}
  \opt{ONDIO_PAD}{hold the \ButtonRight\ button.}
  
\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 below).
\item [Rename:]
  This function lets the user modify a file name.
\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
  	\opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD,IAUDIO_X5_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD,IPOD_VIDEO_PAD}
      {\ButtonSelect}
    \opt{PLAYER_PAD,RECORDER_PAD}{\ButtonPlay}
    \opt{ONDIO_PAD}{\ButtonRight}
 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 ``.txt'').  See page \textmd{\pageref{ref:Viewersplugins}} 
  for more details on viewers.
\item [Create Directory:]
  Makes a new folder in the current folder on the disk.
\end{description}

\subsection{\label{ref:Playlistsubmenu}Playlist Submenu}
\screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-playlist-menu}{The Playlist Submenu}{}
The \setting{Playlist Submenu} allows you to put tracks into a ``dynamic playlist''.
If there is no music currently playing, Rockbox will create a new dynamic playlist
and put the selected track(s) into the playlist.  If there is music currently playing,
Rockbox will put the selected track(s) into the current playlist.  The place in which
the newly selected tracks are added to the playlist is determined by the following
options:

\begin{description}
\item [Insert:]
  Add track(s) to playlist. If no other tracks have been inserted then the
  selected track will be added immediately after current playing track,
  otherwise they will be added to end of insertion list.
\item [Insert next:] 
  Add track(s) immediately after current playing track, no matter what else has
  been inserted.
\item [Insert last:]
  Add track(s) to end of playlist.
\item [Queue:]
  Queue is the same as Insert except queued tracks are deleted immediately from
  the playlist after they've been played. Also, queued tracks are not saved to
  the playlist file (see page \pageref{ref:playlistoptions}).
\item [Queue next:]
  Queue track(s) immediately after current playing track.
\item [Queue last:]
  Queue track(s) at end of playlist.
\end{description}

The \setting{Playlist Submenu} can be used to add either single tracks or 
entire directories to a playlist. If the \setting{Playlist Submenu} is 
invoked on a single track, it will put only that track into the playlist.  
On the other hand, if the \setting{Playlist Submenu} is invoked on a 
directory, Rockbox adds all of the tracks in that directory to the playlist.  

\note{You can control whether or not Rockbox includes the contents of subdirectories
when adding an entire directory to a playlists.  Set the \setting{Main Menu 
$\rightarrow$ Playlist Options $\rightarrow$ Recusively Insert Directories} setting to 
\setting{Yes} if you would like Rockbox to include tracks in subdirectories as well as tracks
in the currently-selected directory.}

If you want to have Rockbox create a playlist of a whole folder (to play an entire 
album, for example), use the \setting{File Browser} to select the song. When a single 
song is selected from the \setting{File Browser}, Rockbox will automatically create a 
playlist with all songs in the current folder. However, if you want to play only a single 
song and then stop, stop playback, navigate to the song you want to play, and use the 
\setting{Playlist $\rightarrow$ Insert} function to select the song.

Dynamic playlists are saved so resume will restore them exactly as they were before
shutdown.

\note{To view, save or reshuffle the current dynamic playlist, use the 
\setting{Playlist Options} setting in the WPS Context Menu.}

\subsection{Virtual Keyboard}
