music files not showing up in rockbox

(1/1)

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.

AlexP:
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.
