iive ran a fulldiskcheck,now im trying to get it to form the database again! heres hoping it works!


EDIT: it failed again, exact same errorabefore, what could the problem be>

[MarcGuay]

Please try and discover which file is causing the problem.

[kiteboarderni]

how can i do that? i do have some things on it such as portable applications. would that affter the creation of the database?

[MarcGuay]

Do a binary search:

Remove half your music and try again, if there is still a problem remove another half and try again, and so on until you find the file which is causing the problem.

ok im gonna take out all the music that i have that is named incorrectly

[MarcGuay]

I'm not sure what that means but I have a feeling it won't help.  Please try what I suggested.

[kiteboarderni]

its crashing on the 7147th file, why is it gathering so many when i only have around 4k songs?

[MarcGuay]

Perhaps you're not counting the songs stored in the iTunes database?

Go to Plugins -> Applications -> Stats, it will tell you how many music files are actually on your player.

[kiteboarderni]

its counting 9259 files and 3955 songs, with 855 directories

does this seem correct for those figures?
