Sansa e280, repartition fat32 & ext2, speed up database refresh

<< < (2/4) > >>

AlexP:
It is the OF that updates it's database.  Sansa users have to use the OF to transfer music because of the current lack of Rockbox USB mode.

e280user has grasped the gist of the question.

No, you cannot put your music on an ext2/3 partition because then Rockbox would not be able to access it.

Does the Sansa OF db refresh really make that much difference to the start-up? Personally, Im just waiting for the USB stack work to be finished and a Rockbox native USB mode to be available...

senab:
Incidentally by simply having MP3's with ID3v1 tags make them unreadable in the OF. The OF only supports MP3 with ID3v2.3 only.

That makes sense.   ::)

Hmph.  That's a mighty inconvenience -- much more so than the iPods.
