Hi to all… I’ve installed Rockbox on my Fuze v1, but there are two strange things that happens: first, when I skip to the next or previous song in Rockbox it takes about 2 seconds to change it… Is it normal? Besides, since I installed it, when I plug in the reader to the pc, it isn’t recognized by the pc as a 2.0 USB… Better, I put it in a 2.0 port, where Every other usb tool work at 2.0 speed, but XP starts the message “it could work faster etc. etc.” … Any solutions or ideas? thank you 
What version are you running?
Rockbox v3.6

Rockbox 3.6 is before USB support was added, so your USB problem is probably with the sandisk firmware.
Not sure about the delay, I get some if I switch to a track that has to be loaded off the flash memory, but its pretty quick. You could try a newer build and see if that helps.
Don’t forget the switches “Load to RAM” under settings>database and “Directory Cache” under settings>system>Disk.
I can’t remember if they are set by default, by they really speed up the skipping of tracks and scrolling in database.
Thank you for the answers… I’ll try that solutions, bu I’ve got another problem: I’ve put a lot of songs on my Fuze, anf now they are quite 3500, and the problem is that the original Fuze firmware read them all, while the Rockbox reader, when I start the reproduction of all the tracks, it recognized only 1457 of them… Do you know why? Thank you again, an sorry for bothering you
Where do you read the numbers? Have you put the files in a playlist? Do you use the file browser or the database?
If you use the file browser, files on your fuze and on your microsd card are found in different folders. Are your songs on both internal and external memory?
If you use the database, maybe it wasn’t finished. Look in settings->general settings->database and check Auto Update and Initialize Now.
Should take one or two minutes.

I have had a problem with the volume raising/lowering and changing tracks being very slow, and I switched the database to load to the RAM, and now it is very responsive. Thank you for this.
One question: Do I need to change “Directory Cache” to Yes or No?
I have turned it on. It really speeds up scrolling in the song list. It buffers the list in the RAM, instead of reading it directly from the internal flash memory or an external card.
Right now i have a microsd card with 1174 songs on it. I can scroll from top to the end of the list smoothly in 4 seconds. Without directory cache, at this speed, it stops in between and even shows some rectangles instead of song names.
It also seems to buffer album art and speed it up when skipping tracks.
With my song list (with one folder.jpg for every album) it only takes about 200kb from the 4,5MB playback buffer!
