Ok so i have Rockbox running on my ipod.. Let me say, that it works like a charm for running roms and videos.. I also changed the theme and icons.. So many features to it, that its amazing.. I give a thanx to all you for making this program!

Now to the point. I recently been trying to put .mp3 files that i had on my shared folder in documents onto .rockbox folder in disk. I just copied to main folder with no editing done. But than when i open up rockbox and go to the song, it opens and says no song.? I don't know what i did wrong. I do have some pictures to give u a better understanding on my issue.

Pics:

1.2.3.
4.5.

Captions:

1 & 2) Rockbox Home screen
3) Playlist
4) Playing song ( error)
5) My ipod drive with rockbox folders in view

Edit- sorry about pic quality its from my webcam

Two issues come to mind, though neither of them are likely the cause of your problem.

1. I'd say you've posted this in the wrong forum. This forum is about installation which you've successfully done. Now you should be in the Audio Playback forum.
2. Don't put music in the .rockbox folder. It's not that you can't it just not a very good idea because the .rockbox folder is intended to be used by Rockbox itself, not by the user. That's why it's hidden by default. Create a "Music" folder or something in the G:\ or something and put your music there.

also to have better screen shots of your player use the screendump feature that rockbox has. look it up in the manual.

Our posting guidelines require you to use proper whole english words. "Sry", and "u" are not acceptable here. Please remember this in future.

how do i change id3 tags?

With a decent Tag Editing program. Consult google.

Are you sure it actually _is_ an mp3 file? You can give a file any file extension you like, and that is used to distinguish the file type. If you open the file with say foobar2000 and look at the properties, what does it tell?

its working now since i changed the tags. but how to customize the playlist to add songs?
