I'm a newbie: please share steps how to make a playlist (reading manual no help)
ThuanB:
Hi,
I am a newbie to this board as well to a rockbox/iPod color. The iPod has been modded to iMod by Vinnie, who also installed rockbox for me. So far I have only been able to make a global playlist that plays all songs in the HD in a random and repeat mode. Beyond that, I get stuck.
Could anyone be kind enough to give me a step-by-step instructions how to make a Playlist that consists of songs from more than one subfolders, say, from 2 subfolders. Files are all FLAC, rockbox installed. I did read the manual but honestly couldn't relate much in there to the actual rockbox environment I have in the iMod. Thanks.
Have a nice weekend!

1. browse to folder 1, press select on the first track, this clears the playlist and adds the files in this folder.
2. browse to folder 2, make a long press on select, go to "playlist" -> "insert" to insert the tracks in this folder.
3. make suggestions for how we can improve the manual :-)

Dear nls,
Thanks so much for the concise yet to-the-point steps. Following them I can see for the 1st time the INSERT command along with screens of commands (after the long press on SELECT) that seemed to be hidden somewhere within the Rockbox. What a relief!
About the manual, of course I wish there were such concrete tips like what you've told me. Not everyone is very familiar with the iPod's operations, nor many of us out there have instinct on how to navigate around such a miniscule device with equally small character rockbox/iPod.
The entire manual doesn't have to contain those "elementary" instructions, but at least you can provide a jump-start for slowpoke like me.
Thanks again for a big help. the iMod/iPod sounds great, now with your help I can program it to play music the way I wanted.
Happy listening!

Thanks agains. Because of your jump-start tips, I am now able to make and save Playlist with or without catalog. A couple important "tricks" that I didn't learn from reading the manual: The long PRESS on SELECT, press Play/Pause to accept a name for a new playlist.
I am a happy boy now.
