help with filenames

i have not initialized my database yet, well actually i did at first, however after installing jbuild for those sweet themes it uninitialized my database which is fine, cause i think initializing it may have been a mistake. so anyway, when ever i goto to FILES and see what songs i have, i cant tell what song it is, every song is 4 capital letters like, RCOP RPZR RRXU ENYT etc, and its all aphabetical from top to bottom.  when i first initialized everything was organized under database by artist, etc.  how can i get it to pickup the names of the files under files, so that they are not random four letters?

Llorean:
Those ARE the names of the files. Talk to Apple about having iTunes not randomly rename files.

shin2thehead:
yes but the files on my pc harddrive are still in their origional folders with orgional filenames, how should i remedy this, just allow it to initialize the database? last time i initialized it i could not rename files.

Llorean:
To remedy this, do not use iTunes to transfer the songs. iTunes is renaming them to crazy things, like I said.

shin2thehead:
ok so delete all the songs on the ipod haddrive under ipod control folder, where do i drag and drop them in rockbox to add them to it?
