Q50: You don't understand! I _really_ need to have more then 400 files
in a directory!
-A50: No you don't. You need to organize your files. Your laziness is not a
- very good reason for us to change our software. If you want to play
- or shuffle very large numbers of files, use playlists. Thats the reason
- they exist. If you mention this again, I'm handing your name the
- Mr. #25 as well.
+A50: The use of really big directories was a workaround for the poor playlist
+ capabilities of the original Archos firmware. With Rockbox, you no longer
+ need this workaround. Organise your files in directories, then build
+ playlists for all collections you want to shuffle-play.
-Q51: Can I ask one more question?
-A51: You just did. Thank you for your time. That completes your alotment of
- stupid question for the year. Please insert another 35 cents to
- continue.
+Q51: How can I make playlists on my PC?
+A51: There are many programs that can create .m3u playlists. WinAmp is one.
+ Another simple method, that requires no extra software, is to use dir:
+
+ cd f:\jukebox
+ dir /bs > allfiles.m3u
+ dir /bs \Pop > pop.m3u
+
+ Linux users can use the 'find' command:
+
+ cd /mnt/archos
+ find . -name "*.mp3" > all.m3u
+
+ Remember that playlists are simple text files. You can edit them with any
+ normal text editor.
Q52: How can I find out about all the neat features that Rockbox has?
A52: This information is in our manual (It sometimes gets a bit out of
date, so please bear with us.) The information you are most likely
looking for is a bit down the tree, so the heres the url:
