If this option is set to \setting{Yes}, all files that start with upper case
letters will be listed first, followed by all files that begin with lower
case letters. If this option is set to NO, then case will be ignored when
sorting files.

This option controls how Rockbox sorts folders. The default is to sort
them alphabetically. \setting{By date} sorts them with the oldest folder first.
\setting{By newest date} sorts them with the newest folder first.
\item[Sort Files:]
This option controls how Rockbox sorts files. All of the options for
\setting{Sort Directories} are available in this option. In addition, there
is a \setting{By type} option which sorts files alphabetically by their type
(such as \fname{.mp3}) then alphabetically within each type.

\item[Play Selected First: ]This setting controls what happens when you
select a file for playback while shuffle mode is on. If the
\setting{Play Selected First} setting is \setting{Yes}, the file you
selected will be played first. If this setting is \setting{No}, a random
file in the directory will be played first.
\item[Resume: ]Rockbox can be configured to start playing automatically
when you turn on the \dap. If the resume function is set to start
automatically playing, Rockbox will start at the point where you last
turned off the \dap. The options for the \setting{Resume} function are:
\begin{description}
\item[Yes: ]Rockbox will unconditionally try to resume.
\item[No: ]Rockbox will not resume.
\emph{If resume is set to \setting{No}, Rockbox will start in the
\setting{File Browser}.}
\end{description}
\note{Earlier versions of Rockbox had an ``Ask'' setting, which would ask whether
to resume when the jukebox was turned on. This setting has been eliminated because it
was redundant. If resume is set to ``Yes'' pressing
\opt{PLAYER_PAD,RECORDER_PAD,IAUDIO_X5_PAD,IPOD_4G_PAD}{\fixme{FixMe}}

\opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD}{\ButtonOn}
on the \dap\ will resume from the point where the \dap\ was stopped before shutdown.
\item[Fast-Forward/Rewind: ]How fast you want search (fast forward or rewind) to accelerate
when you hold down the button. \setting{Off} means no acceleration. \setting{2x/1s} means double
the search speed once every second the button is held. \setting{2x/5s} means double the
search speed once every 5 seconds the button is held.
\item[Anti-Skip Buffer: ]This setting allows you to control how much music is stored
in the \dap's memory whilst playing a song, acting as a buffer against shock or
playback problems. The \dap\ transfers the selected amount of the forthcoming song
into its memory at high speed whilst you are playing the song. It keeps a ``rolling''
buffer, which keeps feeding more of the forthcoming song into memory as it goes along.
If the \dap\ is knocked, shaken or jogged heavily while Rockbox is trying to read the
hard drive, Rockbox might not be able to read the drive. Rockbox will retry over and
over again until it succeeds, but may eventually reach the end of the memory buffer.
When that happens, Rockbox must stop playing and wait for more data from the disk,
which causes your music to skip. The anti-skip setting tells Rockbox how much extra
buffer memory to spare to handle this situation. This setting therefore allows you to
reduce the chances of there being a gap or pause during playback of songs.
\opt{MASCODEC}{The anti-skip buffer can be set to a value between 0 and 7 seconds.}

\item[Off: ]The current directory or playlist will not repeat
when it is finished.

seconds.}
\opt{SWCODEC}{The anti-skip buffer can be set to various values between
5 seconds and 10 minutes.}
\note{Having a large anti-skip buffer tends to use more power, and may
reduce your battery life. It is recommended to always use the lowest
possible setting that allows correct and continuous playback.}
\item[Fade On Stop/Pause: ]Enables and disables a fade effect when you
pause or stop playing a song. If the Fade on Stop/Pause option is
set to \setting{Yes}, your music will fade out when you stop or pause playback,
and fade in when you resume playback.
\item[Party Mode: ]Enables unstoppable music playback. When new songs are
selected, they are added to the end of the current dynamic playlist
instead of being played immediately.

\item[Replaygain: ]This allows you to control the replaygain function.
The purpose of replaygain is to adjust the volume of the music played
so that all songs (or albums, depending on your settings) have the
same apparent volume. This prevents sudden changes in volume when
changing between songs recorded at different volume levels.
For replaygain to work, the songs must have been processed by a program
that adds replaygain information to the ID3 tags (vorbis tags
respectively).

\opt{SWCODEC}{
\item[Load To Ram: ]
The Tag Cache database can either be kept on disk (to save memory), or
loaded into RAM (for fast browsing). Setting this to \setting{Yes} loads
the tagcache to RAM, allowing faster browsing and searching. Setting this
option to \setting{No} keeps the tagcache on the disk, meaning slower
browsing but it does not use extra RAM and saves some battery on boot up.
\note{If you use TagCache frequently, you should load to RAM, as this
will reduce the overall battery consumption because the disk will not
need to spin on each search.}
}
\item[Auto Update: ]
If \setting{Auto update} is set to \setting{on}, each time the play
boots, Tag Cache will automatically do everything that the
\setting{Update now} setting does. Note that the \setting{Auto
Update} will only check for deleted files if the Directory Cache
(\setting{General Settings $\rightarrow$ System $\rightarrow$
Disk $\rightarrow$ Directory Cache}) is enabled.
"Update now" includes that check whether dircache has been enabled or not.
\item[Initialize Now: ]
Before you use the Tag Cache for the first time, you must initialize it by
using the \setting{Initialize Now} function in the \setting{Tag Cache
Menu}. \setting{Initialize Now} removes all database files (removing
runtimedb data also) and rebuilds the database from scratch. This takes
approximately 5 to 10 minutes, and may require a restart to allow the
files to be committed to the cache.
The Tag Cache initialization happens in the background, so you can continue
to listen to music while the Tag Cache is being initialized. If you shut
down your player during initialization, the database building process will
continue next time you turn it on.
\item[Update Now: ]
\setting{Update now} causes Tag Cache to detect new and deleted files
Note that unlike the \setting{Auto Update} function, \setting{Update Now}
will update the database regardless of whether the \setting{Directory Cache}
is enabled. Thus, an update using \setting{Update now} may take a long
time. Unlike \setting{Initialize Now}, the \setting{Update Now} function
does not remove runtime database information.
\item[Gather Runtime Data (Experimental): ]
When enabled, this option allows the most played, unplayed and most recently
played tracks to be logged and scored.
\item[Export modifications: ]
This allows for the runtime data to be exported into
\fname{/.rockbox/tagcache\_changelog.txt}, which backs up the runtime data in
ASCII format. This is needed when Tag Cache structures change, because new
code cannot read old Tag Cache database code. But, all modifications
exported to ASCII format should be readable by all Tag Cache versions.
\item[Import modifications: ]
Allows the \fname{/.rockbox/tagcache\_changelog.txt} backup to be
conveniently loaded into the Tag Cache. This is performed automatically when
the Tag Cache is initialized.
