Understanding the Files menu

(1/2) > >>

pwabrahams:
I'd like to understand why there are three (at least) Music folders accesible via the Files menu (on a Sansa Clip+).  When I select Files from the Main Menu, I see:

   ##MUSIC##
   ##PORT##
   AUDIBLE
   AUDIOBOOKS
   MUSIC
   Playlists
   PODCASTS
   etc.

From ##MUSIC## I see:

  Audiobooks
  Music
  Playlists
  etc.

What is the purpose of ##MUSIC## versus MUSIC at the top level?  And why are the contents of ##MUSIC## similar to but not the same as the contents of Files?  Also, why are there Playlists directories at different levels?

   

bluebrother:
Ask the one that created that folder structure on your player. Rockbox does not require any specific folder structure (except for its own folder .rockbox, which isn't shown normally).

pwabrahams:
That mysterious ##MUSIC## folder doesn't show up when I look at the file structure via the USB connection, nor does it show up when I operate the player in its native (non-Rockbox) mode.  It must have been introduced by the Rockbox installation, since I can't think of anywhere else it would have come from.  Are there any other possibilities?

bertrik:
The original firmware created that directory and then hides it when connected to the PC over USB.

pwabrahams:
So is the ##MUSIC## directory purely an artifact, of no known use?  The only nonempty information I could find in it is a Rhapsody connection.
