Before installation
tooppy:
Hello all,
I just get a Scandisk Zip and discover Rockbox.
The original firmware would fit me but the display isn't reliable.
For example, I loaded in "Music" two files named "artistname1" and "artistname2" with a serie of MP3 inside each.
The file "artistname1" is displaid correctly but the other is displaid "unknown".
The file "artistname1" is splitted in three sub files call "integro" so I have to dig into these to get my MP3.
And for the second file name "unknown" the order of the numbered songs isn't respected.
I don't understand why, all this is weird to me.
I had a Sony radio/mp3 before and encountered the same problems.
Would Rockbox be better in that respect ?
Thanks for your answers
Tooppy

Rockbox has a file browser if that's what you're looking for.
By the way consider formatting your posts into sentences and paragraphs. Its easier for other people to read it that way.

Sorry for the formatting, I thought it was ok that way.
I can also browse with the original firmware, the problem is the way it records the files I load in, it doesn't respect the files names and sometimes split them.

I rather suspect you are confusing the File Browser with the Database, both have similar, yet slightly different functions.
The File Browser will display the file and folder layout as it appears on the disc. Whereas the Database will display the metadata of the files it finds, so if the tags are incorrect, or missing, you will get odd results.

Saint, you are most probably right, that would explain Saratoga's answer, so the screen would oddly display the database and there shouldn't be any browser, am I correct ?
So I guess I have to install Rockbox, do I have to format before, to avoid conflict between original firmware and Rockbox? I haven't seen it mentioned in the manual, though I admit I haven't read it entirely yet.
