Turning The Player On And Off; Putting Music On Your Player - Toshiba Gigabeat F Manual

Chapter 3. Quick Start
puts the player into hold mode when it is switched to the right of the unit. The buttons
will have no effect when this is the case.
Starting from the left hand side on the bottom of the unit, nearer to the front than
the back, is a recessed switch which controls whether the battery is on or off. When this
switch is to the left, the battery is disconnected. This can be used for a hard reset of
the unit, or if the player is being placed in storage. Next to that is a connector for the
docking station and finally on the right hand side of the bottom of the unit is a mini
USB socket for connecting directly to USB.
Finally on the right hand side of the unit are some control buttons. Going from the
bottom of the unit to the top there is a small round A buttton then a rocker volume
switch with of the Volume down button below the Volume up button. Above that
is are two more small round buttons, the Menu button and nearest to the top of the
unit the Power button, which is held down to turn the player on or off. If you have a
Gigabeat X, these buttons are small metallic buttons that are place further up on the
right hand side, and closer together. The layout is still the same, however.
3.1.2. Turning the player on and off
To turn on and off your Rockbox enabled player use the following keys:
Key
Power
Long Power
On shutdown, Rockbox automatically saves its settings.
If you have problems with your settings, such as accidentally having set the colours to
black on black, they can be reset at boot time. See the Reset Settings in section
(page 199) for details.
In the unlikely event of a software failure, hardware poweroff or reset can be performed
by holding down the battery switch until the player shuts off or reboots.

3.1.3. Putting music on your player

With the player connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a USB Drive),
music files can be put on the player via any standard file transfer method that you would
use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag-and-Drop). Files may be placed wherever
you like on the player, but it is strongly suggested NOT to put them in the /.rockbox
folder and instead put them in any other folder, e.g. /, /music or /audio. The default
directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox (album art searching, and
missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the parent directory of a song as the Album
name, and the parent directory of that folder as the Artist name. WPSes may display
information incorrectly if your files are not properly tagged, and you have your music
organized in a way different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and
