Can't play mp3s through 'Files' option (Sansa c200)
krisdb:
I have the Sansa c200, with the latest build of Rockbox and my mp3's are DRM-free(mostly podcasts). I haven't done any major customization to rockbox, after a clean install, besided change some colors, equalizer and some other basic options.
I have one directory under the Music folder, that I will drill down though the 'Files' menu option to play mp3s, instead of through the Database. When I'm done listening to the mp3, I will manually delete it from the Sansa. After about a week or so of adding/deleting files from this directory, I can no longer click on a file in that directory and play it. The little 'loading/playing' icon will show in the top right when I click any file in that directory, then disappear. I have no problems with mp3's in other directories or by playing the files through the Database.
Any help would be appreciated.
GodEater:
Have you tried running a scandisk / chkdsk on your sansa ?
krisdb:
Thanks for the reply. I ran a scandisk, but it didn't fix the issue. I misspoke in my first post, I didn't have the latest build, but I just updated to the r16109 version, but it didn't fix the issue. I still click on the file and the little play icon in the top right shows for a second, then disappears. Any other mp3, outside of that directory, will play, and the mp3s will play through the database.
Strife89:
Maybe a corrupted file table? You could rename the folder and rebuild the database....
Can you access the songs through your computer properly? (Access one through a file browser to be sure.)
krisdb:
I was able to play the file through Windows Explorer, no problem. I renamed the directory on the Sansa and attempted to play an mp3. It would bring up the WPS, but not actually play the file. I updated the database, then rebooted, it said it was committing some files, then I was able to play the files in the renamed directory.
Edit: I've been playing around with trying to pinpoint this issue and it get stranger. Its seems that the software will not recognize the files in the directory unless I do a manual update of the database (I have rockbox set to auto-update). Even then, after an update, I have to reboot and if I try to play a file, the player will freeze and I have to take the battery out. After doing another reboot, the files will play fine. If I do another reboot and try to play a file, it will either play a different file in the directory or freeze up.
