#### Components
Rockbox is an interesting Music playing application which is open source. i recently started using this application to play online songs. Having already suggested one item that would make it better i also noticed something else today. I tried to play songs from my device memory but couldn't find any tab that directs me to play songs from my device like other applications offer.

#### Proposal
Having noticed this problem i tried to look for solutions to this  i came across boomplay's solution and i felt it would be nice to suggest this to Rockbox for implementation. Boomplay has two sections on the display screen
* Discover
* Library

With Discover one can connect online and check for latest songs one can stream online while the library tab handles all songs within the device this is shown in the screen shots below. When one clicks on Library it takes you straight to the songs stored on your device as shown in the second screenshot

#### Mockups / Examples
Sequel to the above discovery and observation i will propose that the songs Icon on the home page of rockbox be changes to _"Rockbox Songs"_ and a new Icon included that gives access to the songs on the phone _"internal Memory Library"_ as shown in the Screenshot below

#### Benefits
The benefits of this to the application are numerous.
* It would improve user experience in that the user does not have to log off the music player to access already stored songs on the phone.
* It would enhance users dependence on Rockbox as it would be the sole application used by people to play music on their device. this is feasible because people wont have to think of downloading another music player for internal song.
* Increase number of users which in turn increases the number of activities in terms of visibility and purchases on the application.

This is my little contribution and am hoping it would be implemented to enhance user experience.
