248 | Rockbox' main screen is the \setting{File Browser}. This is pretty different to | ||
249 | most other players that use the ``While Playing Screen'' as their main screen. | ||
250 | In Rockbox' view this doesn't make any sense as when you are not playing a | ||
251 | file, information about the currently playing file isn't available and therefore | ||
252 | useless. Because of this the \dap{} switches to the \setting{File Browser} when | ||
