Date: Fri, 2 May 2003 03:53:47 -0400 (EDT) the root directory that everyone is talking about...does it have to have a certain .extension (like .app, .mp3, .ajz, etc.), or is it just the first folder within my e drive? (e is the drive letter of my jukebox) will the jukebox automatically look for ajbrec.ajz (rockbox) no matter where it is? i guess what i'm really asking is: how do i ensure ajbrec.ajz is in the "root-directory?" What exactly is the root directory??
