Database not detecting songs....

(1/5) > >>

Bensawsome:
I am new here so sorry if I am asking an obvious question or posted in the wrong forum. :) Just what the title says. I have a Sansa e280R and when I first installed it I went to the database to refresh the songs and it worked. Then it said to reboot my mp3 player to apply the changes. So I restarted and went to database again and it said database was not ready and to build press the select button so I pressed the select button and i left it for a while and it didnt detect anything!!!
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help,
Bensawsome

zajacattack:
What format are your songs in and where are they located?

Bensawsome:
The songs are mostly mp3s and some wma's and they are organized by ?:\MUSIC\(Artist)\(Album)\

Two things:
1. Is the folder hidden? If so, is rockbox configured to show all files?
2. Have you tried forcing a complete rebuild of the database by doing Settings->General Settings->Database->Initialize Now ?

1. Yes and I try to unhide through windows explorer but I think the Sansa firmware keeps hiding it again.... and I am not sure how to make it show all files.
2. Yes but it says rebuilding in background and I wait a while but nothing ever happens.
By the way thanks for all the help so far :)
