OGG's won't appear on my Sansa e260

(1/3) > >>

Sinosec:
So far I'm just trying to see if I can get OGG's to play in Rockbox, hopefully with tags and album art showing up but I can't get any OGG to show up in the database, no matter how I put it on the player.

How do they go in then? What I need is to get MediaMonkey to sync and transcode my music to OGG and get Rockbox to see everything.

JdGordon:
make sure the it is connecting to usb with MSC and not MTP... if you copy the oggs onto it in explorer can you see the files i rockbox's file browser?

if you are usin the rockbox DB have you got it auto-updating?

Like any other audio files- just put it on the player. Make sure your Vorbis files are tagged with Vorbis comments, some programs tries to put id3 tags in them which is wrong.

Transcoding is definitely a no no- your music will sound like ass. Alway rerip and reencode from a lossless sources.

I've got it now that I'm in MSC with MM (I was trying to do it in MTP.) The weird thing is when I was trying to use Explorer to add tracks manually the database wasn't asking to be updated/rebooted. I'll see about that later, but for now I'm just gonna sync and transcode with MM.

However...

I have no original sources cause my music is downloaded. Anyway, how would transcoding from MP3 to OGG degrade the sound? Songs wouldn't sound any worse than the original MP3 would it? (I'm just trying to cut down on filesizes, that's all)

JdGordon:
why on earth would you want to transcode mp3->ogg... both are lossy codecs, so yes, you would lose quality (lots probably) going from one tot he other...

just stick with mp3
