music files not showing up in rockbox
« on: November 18, 2007, 02:45:41 AM »
Hi.  I just installed rockbox onto my sansa e280, no problems,seems to work great.  I tried the games and the other plugins,fine.  
Here's my question
Where are my music files?
Can I play them in rockbox? if I restart the player in the original sansa firmware all my music shows up and plays fine,but not in the rockbox mode.
If I can't access my music through rockbox then what's the point of having it at all.  
Maybe I'm missing something here, I'm fairly new to the mp3 player world.  Thanks.

Please search in future, this has been asked many times.

The Sansa OF hides the music folder, so by default rockbox doesn't show it.

Either:

1)  Set rockbox to view all files, not just supported.
2)  Unhide the music folder, but everytime you start the OF it will rehide it.
3)  Use a folder with a different name.  I'm pretty sure the OF will then still find the music but not hide the folder (my favourite choice).
4)  Use the rockbox database.
