Can't initialize database on Sansa c250

(1/3) > >>

Theot:
I've tried installing RB 4 times now.  It starts up, but I get the same thing every time.  I go to initialize the database and it will say "building database.............741 (sometimes in  the 900's) and that's all it does.  I can't find any music by going to files.  I'm using build # r16440M-080227.  I've done it manual twice and automatic twice with no success.  RB seems to run, I just can't get it to find the music.  The music is stored under the "Music" folder in the MSC mode.  It's a V1 C250.  Not sure what else to say, I'd love some help, really like to use RB!!!!

MarcGuay:
Not sure why the database is choking but the answer to your Music folder woes is here:

Theot:
I did set it to view all files.  I can see the folders but that's it.  

Tried both of those, nada, database does the same thing and I can see folders still but no files.

MarcGuay:
Okay, well maybe some more details will help... What type of music files are they?  Are they on the main drive or a microSD card?  If you put a single music file in the root directory can you see it?  Maybe try different file types? If you connect your player via USB in the Sansa firmware you can find the files on your device?  

Theot:
mp3 files, all tagged, on the main drive.  They all show up and work fine in the sansa firmware.  can't even see a single music file in the root directory.
