Clarify instructions?

Okay, the instructions say the following:

#  Unzip this file to receive pp5022.mi4
# Rename the resulting file to OF.mi4
# Right-click to download the following file and place it inside the "sansa" folder: pp5022.mi4

So the result of these steps is that you have TWO files in the Sansa directory on your computer, one named OF.mi4 and one named pp5022.mi4. Is that correct?

# Boot up your device and connect the USB cable (make sure you have set the USB Mode to MSC/Rhapsody)
# Copy pp5022.mi4 to the root of your device

The root of the device is just the top directory on the device, right?

# Copy OF.mi4 to the "system" folder within your device (make sure you have set Windows to "Show hidden files")

I have Windows set to show hidden files, but I don't have a System folder on my device (e250r). Might it be called something else?

Thanks for your help!

Two things to fix this:

1. Make sure your player is in Rhapsody mode. Go to Settings->Mode->Rhapsody

2. Make sure you can see hidden folders. Go to Control Panel->Folder Options->View and select Show hidden files and folders

Hope this helps!

I've already checked both of these, and I still don't see a System folder. Is it called something else on the e250r?

[zajacattack]

No, I have an R series one and can verify. There should be a folder named SYSYTEM. Tell you what, try creating a new folder named SYSTEM and see what happens. Report back the results.

Okay... got it. (I triple-checked, and I wasn't set to Rhapsody--duh.

My next question is, when I extract the Rockbox files, they are put in a Rockbox subdirectory in the Sansa root directory. Should they be in that subfolder, or should they have been extracted individually to the Sansa root directory?

[zajacattack]

If you directly unzip it to the root, it will create a folder there named ".rockbox" with everything inside that.

Bingo, thank you!
