Before installation
tooppy:
OK now I understand so for those who asked themselves the same questions here is the answer :
Before loading any song you must well prepare your files and folders. I am speaking for Windows here.
You must get into the properties of each file (right clic on the file > properties > details tab and fill up correctly all the lines artist name, artist album etc...
As for the folders properties, make sure they aren't hidden.
Thanks to both of you , you put me on track.

I am sorry, I misread your post...I assumed that you already had Rockbox installed. My mistake.
I cannot tell you at all how the original firmware is supposed to act. I have no idea, although I have this device I have never used it, nor laid eyes on the original firmware. The answer I gave previously is how Rockbox will behave, but the same is almost certainly true for any firmware the displays the metadata of the files instead of the filenames and directory structure. Rockbox just happens to do both.
A little side note regarding:

There are applications that exist that can automate this process for you. If you have been tagging by hand, I feel for you. Checking out the above link might make you feel a lot better about this process.

Oh! Yes I am tagging by hand... ??? So your link to Picard is going to be helpful even though I just try it and it freeze my system, I will get back to it some other time.
Back to my question, do I need to format before installing Rockbox ?

No, you do not.
The Rockbox manual for your device describes installation (and everything else) in detail.
