iPod 5g iFlash Dual SD Skipping and Audio Artifacts
les_garten:
I have a 5G
Decided I would upgrade and play it around with it, haven't really done anything with it for years.
So I upgraded the RB from 3.7.1 to 3.13 and it was doing fine.
I ordered a SD Dual from iFlash.
Restored iPod and installed RB 3.13 and have had Skipping music and song issues since. At first I thought it was my card.
so I went through 3 cards all with the same results
Transcend class 10 32GB
Transcend class 10 64GB
Sandisk calss 10 64GB
all identical issues.
Large Flacs just start playing a few seconds and then going to the next song and the next song and the next song...
Smaller FLACs play longer but still skip or stop the player
320KBS MP3's play for a while and then make a screech and play on or skip to the next song.
165KBS MP3's will usually play through but every so often you get a music stumble like part of the song is missing and skipped but no clcik or screech and no skip to the next song.
The larger the file, the bigger the problem.
So I placed these MP3's in iTunes and sync'ed and made the same songs in ALAC format and listened to them in the APPLE side and no issues at all.
I sent an email to the iFlash folks thinking their interface is bad, but now after playing 100% clean on the Apple side and 100% problematic on the RB side, I think it is a RB thing.
Any suggestions where to go from here?

A lot of those flash adapters don't work well or at all with rockbox's ata driver. You could try a newer build, or see if there is one specifically hacked to work with that adapter. Otherwise use the apple firmware.
Frankenpod:
I think there's a significant chance a later build would give better results. Also, it might be errors during the sync, and syncing with the apple firmware might work better, if just resyncing with a later version of rockbox doesn't do the trick.
Also, when you synched them using iTunes, did you then try and play them via the Rockbox database (assuming the tags were filled in)?

I tried 3.13 and 3.14 and went back to 3.7.1 and they all behaved the same
I also installed the development version with the RB utility and it was the same.
Would the iFlash SATA adapter work any better?

I had not done anything with the Database.
The way I moved music to RB is make a Music folder and drag and drop files into it. Was that wrong of me... I thought that's how it was supposed to work. The reason I liked RB was that my music was in folders.
So I deleted all the files there and transferred some back via itunes and updated and initialized the db and even the Flacs that were converted to ALAC played properly "so far". I haven't listened a lot yet so don't know for sure.
