Pressing LEFT to get to WPS from file root

And just to confuse matters there are still some places where you are prompted to press play to confirm when it means press select (e.g. recursive insert of a directory to a playlist). I think I've seen others but can't remember where at the moment.
Bagder:
I disagree. I think the play button on iriver should be used as the ON button is used on other models. Which it is now...
Mikerman:
IMHO, it would be great if the button configuration could be made as consistent as possible, and if matters could be as one-handed as possible for play-like functions, focusing on the joystick once play has begun, to avoid "finger disruption."
I wonder if some further use of the joystick could be made. For example, in iRiver, to advance from folder to folder while in play mode, one could do a short right (or left) press of the joystick followed by a long--would be great if this could be utilized in Rockbox for this function (which is a great one ;D) as well as others in other modes. For example, in scrolling thru lists, couldn't this short-long press combination be used to scroll thru screens rather than the list one by one, or to scroll thru the list by the letters of the alphabet (which would be great)? Or couldn't an up/down short-long combination press be used for options as well?
Also, I don't know if this is the place for it (but what the heck), but might the iRiver's A-B play loop function be possible with Rockbox? That actually seemed to make sense using the A-B function, as one's hands already would be off the player when deciding to use it. This is a good function for studying music. Perhaps it could be moved to the record button, where it also would make sense in light of the functions use being made of the A-B button (or the functions uses could be moved to the record button--if that wouldn't get in the way of later recording uses).

I don't know about anyone else, but I always hated that looping. It was slow and if you happened to doze for a split second while your target was active you had to loop through the whole damn list again. I'm quite fond of the Rockbox A-B implementation (is this the "Quick Menu"?).

No, the a-b loop refers to picking a start (a) and stop (b) time in a song so you can loop that selection of music, like a sampler. I, too wish this was implemented in rockbox. It is handy for hip hop producers looking for loops, and deejays, as well as musicians learning songs.
pitch and speed adjustment would be amazing also. Iriver firmware has pitch adjust, but it's very rough.
