GodEater:
Run chkdsf /f again.

Re-initialise your database.

Shutdown your ipod.

Turn it on again, see if the Database is ok.

Then try and play a tune.

should i do the chkdsk, then restore, then reinstall rockbox to see what happens?

Hi Jpphun,

I am having exactly the same issue as you.  I also managed to get to that stage last night, where the database initialised but playing a song gave me a fatal error.  Does anyone know of an older build that will definetley work? Maybe we can try and find the problem, binary search??  :o

Ok,

I reformatted my ipod to factory settings using itunes.  Reinstalled the rockbox bootloader, and installed the latest version of rockbox of my nano, r14741-070918. I booted it up and tried to intialise the database with no music on the ipod.  

Unfortunatley it still doesnt work, the database hangs saying building database at 478 files.  I can still go back to the main rockbox menu but the database building has just stopped.  After a soft restart it still says database not ready.

Any ideas?

ok sorry to bump this topic but uhm i had the exact same problem, but i think it was because i reset the ipod(menu+center) when my database was initialised, so i tried holding play, and for some reason i had to initialise it again when i booted up so i did it and when i rebooted again, it was all there but then when i played a song, there were these weird background sounds(but you could still hear them clearly), and the song played just a wee bit too fast.. any reason for this? The rockbox.ipod file is still in the right place. I have no idea what that chkdsk or something stuff is so if i have to do that you'll have to explain i'm a noob in all of this stuff  :)

Chronon:
chkdsk is a windows utility for checking (and repairing) the filesystem on a drive.  

For those with problems, can you build a database containing 2 properly tagged files?  (I'm actually not sure what normally happens when you try to build the database with 0 files on the player.)

Anyone posting in this thread please also provide which model of DAP you are using.
