- If your device got a "Win32 error", please download & install the WMP-OCX-WM5-square-fix.cab (for square devices)
 or the WMP-OCX-fix.cab (for other devices).

Operations
==========
- Since S2P simply scans music files in your storage card, it's suggested to have your music files well organized by folders.
 So that you can browse your music files through the folders instead of a plain list.
 (e.g. \Storage Card\Music\Artist Name\Album Name\Music title.mp3)
- On the first start, S2P will try to locate the device's secondary storage & scan all the music files.
 If there is a music folder (e.g. \Storage Card\Music), tap the "More" menu -> "Set Library" to browse your device & set it.
- When browsing, press the folder name to list all music files under that folder, including subfolders;
 or press the arrow button to list the subfolders.
- To play, either press the filename/song; to shuffle the current list, press the "Shuffle".
- To play album by album randomly, under the Albums list, press the "Shuffle Albums".
- To go back to the Songs/Artisits/Albums list, press the top left back button.
- To view the current album list, press the top right icon. Then press any one on the list to play that music.
- At the single music view, tap the screen to call up the timeline.
 Press the left repeat icon to repeat the current playing album; press the right shuffle icon to play the whole music list randomly.
 When both icons are on, only the current album will be played randomly.
- At the single music view, swipe the album pic to left to goto the next album; swipe to right to goto the previous album.
- The hardware keys are:
 Accept - quit
 End/OK - minimize
 Vol Up/Down or DPAD Up/Down - volume control
 DPAD Action - play/pause
 DPAD Left/Right - previous/next
 Left/Right soft key; swipe the full album pic to left/right - previous/next album when playing the whole library; previous/next when playing selected music from the library
