Can I give the rockbox device a name for windows/mediamonkey
« on: December 15, 2008, 11:48:12 PM »
Hey experts - Can i give my Sansa running the stable version a name that will come up when I connect to windows rather than the generic drive name?  i.e. Chris' Rockbox instead of /k:

thanks in advance

You mean a volume label? Sure, but IIRC there's an 11 character limit on them in Windows.

Example: "CHRIS_SANSA" (minus the quotes) will fit.

You can also create an autorun.inf file in the root directory. The following should give your device a custom icon (you need to supply the icon), and a mixed-case label (the volume label forces all letters to uppercase).

Code: [Select]
[autorun]
icon=sansa.ico
label=Chris' Rockbox
