Re: Sansa Music directory gets hidden

The Sandisk firmware will set the music directory to be hidden whenever it
is run. This probably includes when you connect your sansa to copy over
files via usb.

I'd guess this is the cause of your problem. It shouldn't have any relation
to any version of Rockbox running.
