returning to "now playing" screen

(1/8) > >>

I am a new (and quite enthusiastic) Rockbox user, so please forgive me for what is probably an obvious newbie question, but I haven't found a way to do this and it's starting to really bug me.

Is there a toggle or timeout setting for the player to return to the "Now Playing" screen? When I am done with the playlist, or fiddling with the settings, or what have you, I want (and I think most people would want) for the player to return to the "Now Playing" screen. But no matter how long has passed since I was on some other screen, the player never returns to the "Now Playing" screen. I have to tediously surf through the menus to find that option and then manually select it.

Am I missing something obvious?

You should just be able to press the "Play" button for your target from wherever you are to get back to the WPS.

This definitely works on both my iPod and H140, but come to think of it, I'm not sure of the button on my Gigabeat. It's in the manual somewhere.

That does work. Thanks! It's not as simple as just having the screen go back to the "Now Playing" screen after a timeout (which I would still prefer, and which I think most people would expect), but it's certainly easier than what I had been doing.

Yes, the explanation of the Rockbox user interface in the manual ;)

Really?  I would find that incredibly irritating.  I want it to stay in the screen I put it in.
