User interface -------------- The user interface is very rough and unpolished. It consists of a simple directory list with a cursor. Press PLAY to enter a directory or start playing an mp3 file. When playing a file, the id3 tags Artist and Title are displayed on the screen. Press STOP to exit id3 display and go back to the dir browser. The file remains playing. For continuous playback of all files in the directory, you must remain in id3 display mode. To stop playback, press STOP in the root dir. Pressing stop in any other directory will simply take you to the previous directory level. Press MENU to enter the menu. You can view the Rockbox version and adjust the sound settings. The sound settings are not stored, so they are reset at every boot. Performance ----------- We have tested with bit rates from 32 to 320 kbit/s and sample frequencies from 11 to 48 kHz. Limitations ----------- There are a number of shortcomings and limitations that will be addressed in later versions: - Max 200 files in a dir - Continuous mode (playing all files in a dir) requires you to stay in id3 display mode. Exiting back to the browser will make playback stop when the currently playing song has finished. - During continuous mode, only the first file's id3 info is displayed. - No dir/file indication in browser - No filename or extension filter in browser - No scrolling - No back-light handling Bug reports ----------- If you find that one of the supported features misbehave, please file a bug report on our web page. Do not report missing features as bugs, instead file them as feature requests. License ------- All files in this archive are subject to the GNU General Public License.
