Autoplay or autocreate a playlist with broken screen

(1/1)

Hello all,

I've been using a Sansa Fuze v2 for more than a year with a broken screen.  Before the screen busted, it was set to shuffle and repeat one directory with a bunch of MP3's in it.  When I turned it on, I would just hit the play button, and it would play.  I wanted to start a new playlist since it was getting stale, so I reloaded the files in the directory.  The problem is that it stopped playing when I would turn it on.  I then also stupidly reloaded rockbox on it :)

So, how can I get rockbox to automatically build a dynamic playlist of a folder with a bunch of MP3's in it, and then automatically play that playlist.  The screen is unreadable so the GUI is useless to me.  I looked at the 'blind users' FAQ, but I didn't find anything in there that might help. 

I suppose if somebody wanted to walk me through selecting a file located in the /music directory from the default start screen, that might get things rolling :)

thanks!

I would make a playlist on your PC, put it in 1_folder , then edit the config file to make the start screen the file menu:

http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansafuzev2/rockbox-buildap5.html#x21-406000E

I think then you could just hit select a few times and it'd start playing.  Maybe theres an easier way but thats how I'd do it.

That did the trick!!! thanks.  I was able to get into it and start playing a track... and then I just kept adding more and its letting me hit next :) 

thanks!

Now, to see about that voice thing to get it to speak to me.
