How to get my iTunes Playlists/ratings onto rockbox

Its usually near a multiple of 1.5-2, have 3500, shows up over 5500.

It could represent the number of unique tags, possibly. Every album will have one album tag, one artist tack, many tracks, and possibly a variety of other tags (comments etc). I really don't know what it is, but that would be my guess based on almost no evidence whatsoever.

(I've got a very similar error when building the database on my iPod 80GB so avoided it)

Seriously I know I'm no expert (in fact I'm technically crap) but I BET if you simply copied your existing 'music' folder over to another drive and retagged A SAMPLE FOLDER, copied it to your device and initialised the database again, everything would be hunky dory....?

[HiddenShadow]

what do you mean by a sample folder?

Edit: it just finished, and i went to DB and it said the database is not ready (yet again), even though it "found" 6000+ "tracks"..

Did you properly shut down and then boot back up after initializing?

[HiddenShadow]

Yeah, forgot to do that, it works fine now, thanks for your help!

But the first time it didn't work, was something else.

Just wanted to bump this and say thanks, this helped.  I've used the iTunes Export to export my iTunes playlists, and create .m3u playlists, as well as copy the files.
