Sorry, I'm too lazy to answer you.

I appreciate your point, Febs, but....

You cannot use the OF's database. In Rockbox, hold down the [SELECT] button when you have Database highlighted, then choose Initialize Now. Then wait for a few minutes, then reboot. When it tells you it's "Committing Database", it's done.

I think if you were able to do this the player was in MTP mode and won't work with Rockbox.
You must have the player in MSC mode.

And simply switching to MSC is not enough. I recommend that you format the player, reset settings, power off and back on, switch to MSC, then plug it in and begin transferring music.

Prayer:
I accidently "erased" all my music from my Sansa. I could see them in the PC but not the Sansa.  I tried to "unhide" the files and directories but no go with Sansa.

Then I stumbled on the setting "show all files", YES! now I remember reading about that in the manual. Setting that put them all back to see in the Sansa. All good once again.

The Sansas hide a number of folders (such as "MUSIC") every time you boot into the original firmware. Rockbox does not show hidden folders unless you change that setting. :)
