My wife and I both have an E260R. A month ago I installed Rockbox 3.0 on my player and I am happy so far. I primarily wanted a better shuffle algorithm than however, she has a 2GB microSD chip. On it are about 5 CD's (which I had loaded via standard Rhapsody program). Once RB starts you have to select Database from the main menu and it says" Database not ready" and below it you can select "Initialize now". When confirming this, it starts building the database. (This is not mentioned in the Installation Instructions; I will submit Edits to add this, if indeed this is not related to my problem). You see a number increasing. When it reached 829 (which is the total tracks on the player incl the SD) the rate of increase started to accelerate enormously. And kept going and going. When it got to 8000 I stopped the process by powering down. Reboot and RB said "comitting". When done I looked at the database and everything looked OK (artists, albums, genres), except for the "tracks" directory. It had many duplicates (5 to 8!) for most tracks. I then went to Playlists on main menu and selected Create Playlist. It went up to 70 and stopped (this is exactly the # of tracks on the SD). While I was staring at the screen, it suddenly turned into multicolored noise and froze. Hold down the power button for 10s or so and reboot. I tried a "initialize now" and stopped the datbase building before it reached the 829. It then does not have any duplicates. There is more to tell. I reinstalled RB 3 times once without SD chip, but no different behaviour that I could see.
I am still trouble shooting, but want to submit my problem now to see if anyone has some advice for me.
