Music management with rockbox & sansa e200

(1/2) > >>

funkadelik:
Hi, I was reading the manual for installation of  rockbox on a sansa (and successfully did it), but now I'm wondering if there's any way to easily manage your music files with it.

With just my normal sansa I use media monkey and MTP mode to sync my music.

When using rockbox however my sansa has to be in msc mode all the time? correct?
If not can I?:

1. Boot the sansa firmware
2. Switch to mtp mode
3. sync with media monkey
4. switch sansa back to msc mode
5. load rockbox & enjoy

Basicly. What's the best way to manage music files with rockbox on a sansa. I read some of the manual, but I don't understand what exactly are the restrictions on the usb mode.
Thanks (I...THINK. this is in the right section)

bodymind:
the only way to upload musics to your rockbox machine is using original firmware in sansa.. :P

funkadelik:
Ok, but is it possible to boot the original firmware AND switch to mtp mode for syncing?

AlexP:
You can put your music anywhere on the disk you like using copy and paste or command line or whatever.  You can also use any syncing programs you like.  I don't know how the Sansa OF works, but for rockbox just copy it any old where.  For instance, I have (imaging f:\ is your player)

F:\.rockbox
F:\Music
F:\Spoken word

funkadelik:
..as far as I know you can't use any type of syncing without being in mtp mode.
I want to be able to sync music on my player with what I have on my pc.
Copy/paste isn't really syncing.
can anyone with rockbox and a sansa point out how they do this?
