Confused about adding files

(1/1)

AstroBoy:
I added some .mp3 files and deleted some.  I think I did the update database.  It said running in the background.  I never did see any changes.  How long does it take with less than 100 .mp3 files on a e200?

I ended up doing the init database.  Seems like something you would only want to do once.

All I really want to do is play the mp3 files once in filename order.  Or some order.  It seems really hard to just play all songs.

Thanks.

Febs:
You can do that pretty easily from the file browser rather than the database.  Just use the Playlist --> Create playlist from the root directory.  (Make sure the "recursively insert directories" option is on.)  Then play the resulting playlist.  Alternately, if all of your files are in a single directory tree, just long-press Select on that directory and select Playlist --> Insert.

AstroBoy:
That was too easy.  I must be doing it wrong!

It works great, thanks.
