Slight annoying problems with RockBox

[Febs]

Suggestion: I really enjoyed having the choice of which firmware to boot as my primary firmware, you think that will become a feature in later versions of RB?

It's easy to boot into the original firmware.  Just hold the |<< button when you power on.

This installer is really obnoxious, I gotta say.  I keep trying to remember to make "How did you install?" the first question but never seem to...

@Febs:  I almost made the same mistake.  He's asking about his primary firmware.

One more question, some of my tracks in the database are "Untagged"

Whats that mean? I right click, properties, I have the song title's filled in for both the General and Details tab. Whats the fix for this problem?

[Llorean]

I don't even know what you mean by "General" and "Details" tabs, nor have you mentioned what format the music is in. Depending on the format, Rockbox expects you to be using certain tagging standards, so you'll need to check that your files are actually tagged, and using the appropriate standard.

How do I tag my files? And they're ALL mp3 files.

[Llorean]

There's dozens of programs out there. Google "ID3 tag" or "MP3 tag" and pick one. You need to be using ID3v1 or ID3v2 (v2 is better for Rockbox purposes) on your files. Both ID3v2.4 and ID3v2.3 will work.

[Techno22]

Er... I don't mean to sound stupid but could you go over the general method on how to quickly tag all of my mp3 files using ID3-TagIT or whatever software you use.

[Febs]

That's really beyond the scope of these forums.  Plus, those programs are all really easy to use.   Just try it yourself.

[Techno22]

I did. They aren't tagging...

Still says untagged in Rockbox database

[Llorean]

Did you try initializing the database again after updating the tags?

[Techno22]

Say what?



Update: Today might have proved that I'm a dumbass, but this software is decently complicated as well. Way harder to use the original firmware which is why I wanted that as my primary boot. Oh well. Yes it works. Thank you very much.

Say what?

I think that it's time for you to take a read through the manual.

Since this thread no longer has anything to do with installation, I'm going to go ahead and close it.
