If you edit the source and build your own Rockbox. The database is not the only way to access your music so this change will not be made in SVN.  I wouldn't want this change on any of my players, for instance.

One (the?) way to do this would be to just edit the language files and recompile. You don't actually need to touch C code at all.

True, gevaerts.  I didn't think carefully about that.

In fact, you don't even need to recompile, just hack the *.lng file as described here:

You need to actually load the language file. English.lng isn't normally used: English is compiled in. To use a modified one you actually need to "change" the language to that English.lng file.

so rename the "english.lng" file to another language?

No, 'play' the file as if it were a music file (that'll be the >>| button on the Sansa)

Use the same button as you use to select music.

What, the button that's labelled as 'Right' and marked as >>| in the manual (link)?

Unless you are running a custom build, that button should 'execute' a file as described here.
