Database troubles

<< < (2/2)

Chronon:
Did you ever add songs via iTunes?  That filename sounds suspiciously like what you would get if iTunes put music on your player.  Maybe you got rid of some auto-synched songs and then re-added them via drag-and-drop.  I would expect something like this to happen in that case.  Try deleting the *.tcd files from your player and re-initialize the database.

Hum, I still can't get it to work. I think I will just format and reinstall rockbox. One question real quick though, if I add songs to my ipod via itunes (mp3, not m4p or whatever it is called) will rock box still pick them up?

Mad Cow:
Yes, which is what I think the problem is. Itunes songs are in a hidden folder, so you might not see them, but rockbox will, and it'll add them to the database. And if they have DRM, it might see them, but it won't be able to play them.

jjb123:
I have my iTunes install on my Windows partition and, but also so DRM free songs on my ubuntu partition. I put the DRM free ones on the ipod too and even those won't play. I think I am just going to try and reinstall rockbox tomorrow. I'll tell you how it goes. Thanks for your help :).
