How do I sync music? (was: newbie question - sorry)

(1/4) > >>

BillyPrefect:
So now that there is RockBox, what do I use to sync music? Still ITunes?  Also, where are my photos on my iPod now?  I am trying to find them but am sort of lost in what used to be the hidden directories.  If I use something else to sync my music, can I use something else to sync my pictures or are pictures now history with RockBox?

Sorry to be slow, I am having a blast with the WPS's and various themes, but I still would like the picture ability of iTunes.

You can still use iTunes to sync music if you wish, but you'll need to make sure to initialize the Database before you can access your music.

As for your pictures, you'll have to copy them into another folder on your player. Make sure they're in JPEG format so the JPEGviewer plugin can read them.

BillyPrefect:
Thanks very much for not bashing me for asking a stupid question.  I just ran a search on the forum and figured as much.  

Do I also preconvert all my pics to the 320X240 resolution?

LambdaCalculus:
There's no real need to. JPEGviewer will scale most pics to a size that looks good on your DAP's screen.

If you want to still also use the OF, then yes sync music with iTunes and ue the database in Rockbox.  If you don't want to use the OF, then just drag and drop you music onto your player anywhere you like (although in the .rockbox directory is a bad idea).

For pictures (jpgs) copy them anywhere you want on the player.
