iTunes for Rockbox music Management?

<< < (2/3) > >>

you know, on second thought there is a great benefit to the traditional file tree structure the files are in right now (without itunes).  it's a nice second backup and makes it extremely simple to move files around.. sharing some creative commons mp3s with friends for example. :)

i think i'll stick with winamp for synching for now and keep my system free of itunes bloat.

i also miss the convenience of that "shuffle" on the regular ipod main menu.. you can't have everything though.. and i much prefer al of the extras rockbox allows

mightybrick:
You can create a playlist to shuffle for your entire library.  From the main music folder, hold select, and then the playlist menu, and create a playlist, recursively inserting the folders.  Then you can turn on shuffle, and play your entire library in shuffle mode.

PHK Brasil:

No, the playlists you created on iTunes/iPod are not compatible to Rockbox. You can try a limited trick to this http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=8348.msg65046#msg65046

There is no option in Rockbox to display or not time on WPS.  You have to choice a WPS theme on gallery that displays the time, if you want. It depends of the WPS theme you use.

Hold MENU when in WPS/file navigation, then a Quick Menu will appears, with instantly options to Shuffle, Repeat and File View.

You can also enter the context menu from the While Playing Screen and select Reshuffle, which will, obviously, reshuffle the current playlist, but without altering your 'Shuffle' setting.

You can have both :)

I use the Database all the time because it's fantastic, but I still drop into the file browser for editing files or moving/deleting them or to select a file such as a custom keyboard that's not accessible through the Main Menu.

meesterbrian:
what do you mean when you say you can use both?  i assume you mean on the ipod you can switch between file tree browse method and database method.

you're not saysing that the files on the ipod itself can be "viewed" both way s are you?
