Hidden folders sansa c250
« on: March 24, 2008, 10:00:31 PM »
I read about the hidden files in music on the sandisk sansa c250 v1
so i did the whole, settings, show files all

my problem is slightly worse in a way

i organized my files originally
music
   rock
       acdc
       def leppard
   pop
   classical
   blues
so on
in some cases 3-4 directories deep
and while i can now use file browser to see inside 'music'
there are no directories there
on reboot to original firmware the files are there

other than that, rockbox looks nice :-p
does anyone have a solution for this issue?

How many directories do you have in one folder?

See http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansac200/rockbox-buildch7.html#x10-1220007.6.5 for a possible solution.

well total files is 243 as reported by oem firmware
assuming directories in the music dir count as 'file system entry/file'
i may actually hit a total of 260
that's not counting
.rockbox
photos
system
and so forth

Try increasing the settings that are described in the manual link I posted.

Re: Hidden folders sansa c250 -- issue resolved
« Reply #4 on: March 24, 2008, 10:51:29 PM »
increased to 1000
no change

realized it might be because my one computer (where i dumped all the muzak from) wouldn't connect in MSC mode so when i copied the music over i had no drive letter

so right now i'm deleting and recreating same structure in msc mode to see if that was it
also since i read an entry about hiding \music i figured i'd trick it and use \musik

from what i can tell when filling with music in 'autodetect(MTP)' it creates the music in /system/mtpcontent/

--edit--
seems the same structure gets created when filling c250 music in msc mode
--end edit--
issue resolved: with msc mode copy and \musik all problems are solved

thank you very much for your help zajacattack

You have to transfer your files over in MSC mode.  Files transfered over in MTP don't get put where you think -- as Rockbox has shown you.  There's another thread right now where someone did the same thing.  Rockbox and MTP don't mix.
