Database: how to hide folders and choose tracks
« on: November 15, 2010, 07:26:05 AM »
 Hi there, I juzst got my sansa fuze V1 rockboxed and am trying to get to terms with it  :P.
As it is for a newcomer I bumped into some problems and could´t find anything on the forum.
A short remark: I am not very versatile with software related stuff, just a plain user.
So I´m bound to go "Uh??" when it comes to technological terms.
So here´s my questions:

a) Can I get rid of the <all tracks> and <random> folder showing up in the database?

b) How can I jump to a different (later) track in the album menu?
    Like: I got 10 tracks on the album, scroll down to track #5 and press play.
    Whenever I try that the whole thing starts with track one.

c) Maybe wrong topic: how come that the database shows my albums in correct running order but when I change
    to the files directory they are all in alpabetic order?

I´d be glad to get some advice.
Thanks very much,
Siggi

Alphabetical is the correct order for a file browser.

a) no
b) menu > settings > playback > "play selected first" should default to yes but sounds like you've got it set to no

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

Ok, well thank you. I have to live with a) then, got b) sorted out and now know about c).
Thanks for the advice. One more thing I noticed:

Rockbox alway starts with its normal screen. The fuze always started where I left. What I mean is:
I listen to an album and stop at track 5. When I turn it on again I can immediately start from there.
How does that work with rockbox? Do I have to bookmark every time? Or is there a setting so it will
happen automatically?

Thanks very much,
Siggi

btw: Rockbox already gets thumbs up for gapless playback and increased volume. Those were things I really
        missed... Gotta get to terms with the menu though. There´s so many options.

Rtfm. Three is a setting to say where to start up. Also pressing play from the main menu will resume where you left off

Ah ok, Start does the trick! Great, got most of my problems sorted out.
But what does rtfm stand for? (have to ask, even when everyone goes Duh, idiot.)
Thanks,
Siggi

Should have known... My apologies.
I did read the manual though and worked the much approved try-and error method,
but couldn´t find the solution  :-[.
So thanks very much again for your patience and quick replies.
Let´s see if I het rhose playlists going.
Cheers,
Siggi
