How to get my iTunes Playlists/ratings onto rockbox

From any page in the wiki it takes one click to get to the search page.

If you have complaints about how Twiki works, contact their project.

Okay try searching for 'superman' in the search field at top right. A proper search takes at least two clicks.

[Llorean]

That's the "Go" box. It isn't, nor does it claim to be, a search box.

It takes one click to get to the search page. Click on the word "Search". And no matter how many clicks it takes, it's a far cry from your original position that it's not searchable.

whoa, off topic... 

Well I deleted my iTunes folder and use the itunes export thing to export my itunes playlists and then put my music folder (as it is in itunes - same folder [C:\Media copied to ipod:\Media]) into my ipod, and updated the database, however once it finishes updating, it fails to show anything in the database, it doesn't even show artists/album/etc, its just blank.
The playlists do work though, on the up side, is this a 3.0 bug  or should I just reinstall (ill try that now)

Also when changing songs, it was hanging/using the hd alot and playing the previous song for more than 10-15 sec before finally changing.

Do you know that your files are definitely tagged properly and in a format Rockbox accepts (as in, have you checked their tags in something besides iTunes)?

Yeah I used to use winamp, and my files showed up fine, except for a few (like <5%)

Maybe the buffer was too full?

What do you mean by "my files showed up fine"? I asked about the tags, and I'm not at all familiar with winamp.

The tags in winamp showed up fine, and I think winamp uses id3v1/2

[Llorean]

A quick google suggests winamp can also display ApeV2 tags.

Another thing to check is your tagnavi.config and tagnavi_custom.config, if they're corrupted or blank it can keep the database from working properly.

Well it was most likely corrupt then, because while updating, I resetted, thinking that it would start all over if I re-updated, or would this have not caused the problem?

[Llorean]

Well, nothing writes to those files in Rockbox. They could only be corrupted when copying to your device, or with filesystem errors.

[Zardoz]

might it be worth downloading a program like mp3tag, clearing the database, cleaning folders of all tags, retagging (write in a single format) and then updating the database again?

[Llorean]

It'd be an awful lot of work to go through if it turns out to not fix his problem, or if his problem can be fixed with less work. It'd be better to attempt to diagnose it first, rather than ask him to possibly have his computer work for some time retagging his files.

Reinstalled Rockbox 3.0, hopefully it'll build without messing up this time..

Also I've always wondered why the building database... ____ found, always goes over the number of tracks I have. Why is that?

[Llorean]

I have honestly no clue. Does it look like a significant multiple of the number of tracks you have? (Like, if you have 1000, and it comes out 4000 or higher)?
