247\subsubsection{Main Screen}
248Rockbox' main screen is the \setting{File Browser}. This is pretty different to
249most other players that use the ``While Playing Screen'' as their main screen.
250In Rockbox' view this doesn't make any sense as when you are not playing a
251file, information about the currently playing file isn't available and therefore
252useless. Because of this the \dap{} switches to the \setting{File Browser} when
253playback gets stopped. There is no point showing the WPS when playback is
254stopped, so this is not and will not be possible.
