Database List has Max Tracks?
Chronon:
Good to hear that you located those files. Did you notice Bascule's comments in that thread? His advice should allow the database to sort your files properly.
I am not sure why the database would display the wrong information. Does that problem persist if you reinitialize the database?
hendersj:
I hadn't yet read the entire thread, so will do so on that. I'll give that a try.
The problem with the other files not having the full album name does persist if I reinit the database. Looking at the file info as well, the album title is wrong. I'll triple-check the tagging on those files, but they do show up correctly in the iPod firmware.
Does Rockbox prefer id3v1 or id3v2 when it selects? I'm wondering if maybe the tags didn't go through correctly in one version and the native firmware is picking up one and Rockbox is picking up the other.

Rockbox uses v2 if present in preference to v1
hendersj:
I've double-checked, and the ID3 tags are consistent between v1 and v2; I also tried relabeling the tracks in question using id3v2 (command-line Linux utility), updated the database, restarted, and it still shows up incorrectly.
I have a theory, though. Is there a maximum amount of memory that Rockbox allows for all ID3 tags? The two tracks in common are different from most (but not all) of the other files in one respect: There's a comments id3v2 field that's got a fair amount of data in it. (Not measurable in KB, but it is 237 characters for one, and 338 for another). Another is 239 and appears OK, but if the other tags are causing a limit to be exceeded, maybe (?) that would explain the title being truncated?
EDIT: Just tried removing the comment field from one of the two tracks, and it now shows up correctly. Seems that it's something with the comment tag, whether it's the length or something content-wise.
