Database List has Max Tracks?

Build r17704 on an iPod Mini 1G here.

I've got a collection of radio programmes that I've put on my iPod, and in the standard firmware, they all show up under a single album (as they're tagged that way, that's expected).  There are about 317 programmes currently in the list.

But under Rockbox, I only see the first 99.  There are a few where the album has been improperly truncated (the album name is "ISIHAC", one track the album is "I", and one track the album is "ISIH").

How do I go about getting the tracks at the end?  As it happens, the oldest tracks are early and I'm going backwards year by year, so the current year I'm listening to doesn't show up in the list.

I can search for the title OK, but if there's a setting to tell Rockbox to show more than 99 entries per album, that would be ideal.

Thanks,

Jim

In answer to your question... I'm sorry, I haven't a clue.

(Sorry, but I had to get that in there!)

hendersj:
LOL, well, you got a laugh for that one. :-)

Anyone else?  Or should I log a bug in flyspray for it?

Chronon:
You mention the Apple OS displaying them fine, so I guess this means you are using the database to view these files in Rockbox.  There was an issue discussed here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9076.0 that involved some strange track sorting behavior.  However, it seems that you're seeing something a bit more since some of your tracks don't appear at all or are listed improperly.

I will guess that the tracks that appear with an improper album entry actually are not tagged properly.  Can you verify whether or not this is the case?  Perhaps improper tagging also explains the missing tracks as well?

hendersj:
Yes, I'm using the database within Rockbox, that's where I'm seeing the issue.  The issue you pointed to the discussion of is one I didn't see, and in looking at my list again, it seems that that is the issue (I knew the episodes I was looking for were towards the end of the list, so I just scrolled backwards from the beginning and never went forward to track 10 - silly me).  So it seems the tracks are all there, I just didn't know they were sorted in this way.

I tagged all the files myself using id3v2 on Linux - it was a scripted tagging, and the tags look identical between ones that are properly listed and ones that aren't.  I can't find anything different about the tags on the files that are partially titled as "I" or "ISIH" instead of the full "ISIHAC".  In the iPod firmware, these tracks show up in the right place.

Thanks for the follow-up - looks like the list is complete (except for the two tracks that the tags are being misread on for some reason), just sorted in a way I didn't expect.

Jim
