The File Menu
This menu operates on the file that was selected in the browser at the time that the File Menu was selected. It offers the following options:
To enter the File Menu:
Archos jukeboxes | From the Directory Browser, press and hold the PLAY button, or press ON+PLAY |
iriver jukeboxes | From the Directory Browser, press and hold SELECT (the joystick button) |
Playlist
The playlist submenu may be invoked either on a track, a directory, or a playlist. If the playlist submenu is invoked on a track, it will act only on that track. If the playlist submenu is invoked on a directory, it will act on all the files within that directory. If invoked on a playlist, it will act on all the files in that playlist.
The playlist submenu provides the following options:
Insert | Add track(s) to playlist. If no other tracks have been inserted then the selected track will be added immediately after current playing track, otherwise they will be added to end of insertion list. |
Insert next | Add track(s) immediately after current playing track, no matter what else has been inserted. |
Insert last | Add track(s) to end of playlist. |
Insert shuffled | Insert track(s) randomly into playlist |
Queue | Queue is the same as Insert except queued tracks are deleted immediately from the playlist after they've been played. Also, queued tracks are not saved to the playlist file. |
Queue next | Queue track(s) immediately after current playing track. |
Queue last | Queue track(s) at end of playlist. |
Note that added tracks remain in the playlist unless manually removed, while queued tracks are removed after they are played.
For step-by-step instructions on creating, editing and saving an on-the-fly playlist, see this page of Iriver Playlist Instructions.
Bookmarks
Create Bookmark
While playing a track, use this option to save your current position within the track so that you can return to it at a later time. Bookmarks are saved on a per folder basis. In other words, all of the files in the same folder have their bookmarks stored together. You can store multiple bookmarks for the same track.
Show ID3 Info
Displays the contents of all the ID3 tags associated with the file.
Open with
Runs a viewer plugin on the file. Normally the filetype of a file is detected and the appropriate plugin is run automatically when you press play on it. Use this menu if for some reason you want to override the default action and select a viewer by hand. See page ViewerPlugin for more details on viewers. For example, this would be used to run the VBRfix plugin to recreate the Xing header for an MP3 file, which can fix problems such as fast-forward and rewind not working correctly on a particular MP3 file or the play time of a track being listed incorrectly.
Delete
Deletes the current file. Rockbox will ask for confirmation before deleting a file. Press PLAY to confirm deletion or any other key to cancel.
Only files can be deleted, not folders. To delete folders, use the "Delete Directory" option.
Delete Directory
Deletes the folder pointed to by the cursor and all the files and folders contained in it.
Rockbox does not utilize the recycling bin. Files and folders that are deleted with the "Delete" and "Delete Directory" functions are permanently deleted. Use these functions with caution.
Create Directory
Makes a new folder in the current folder on the disk.
