The files really are the same though.. here is a fragment from that file:


--- Quote ---/music/Avril Lavigne/Let Go/Avril Lavigne-Things I'll Never Say.ogg
/music/Avril Lavigne/Let Go/Avril Lavigne-I'm With You.ogg
/music/Avril Lavigne/Let Go/Avril Lavigne-Things I'll Never Say.ogg

So it would seem there is a problem with the database somewhere, as the FAT filesystem does not allow duplicate files.

Try going to /.rockbox/ and deleting all the *.tcd files (database_idx, database_0...database_8 in my case), then re-initialise your database...

Yeah. When I delete files using Ubuntu, it creates a directory called .Trash-1000

Yip, after doing that, my files now display correctly in the database.

The only thing I can think of that I changed (in terms of the database) when it started doubling up songs was setting both Load to RAM and Auto Update to yes.

On my Sansa e200r, auto-update causes that same issue.

Somewhere (don't remember where) it was stated that it is caused because auto-update doesn't check for deleted files etc because it would take too long.

starboy5:
thanks for that input. I've disabled the auto-update now.
