Go to Next Track

[texascampgal]

I've looked through the 176 page manual and I've searched this forum.  I can not find an answer that I can understand.

I'm using a sansa e250 mp3 player.
I've downloaded and installed version r19933-090206

Everything seems to be working fine, except I have 2 questions:

1 - During playback in the WSP screen, my "right button" to "go to next track" will not work.  If I press and hold it, it will pause the current song, but at no time will skip the song and begin playing the next.

2 - Can someone recommend a good open source program to tag my music - with artist, song name, album, genre and so forth.

I used to use Windows Media player to do this, but since upgrading to Vista and adding a 8GB micro card, it will no longer recognize my sansa player.  That's, actually, how I found you guys.

Thanks in advance.

1 - seems to be a hardware problem - does it do the same with the original Sansa firmware?
2 - http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ is very good

1.  No, just with the Rockbox stuff.  If I quickly press the right button, the song completely starts over.

2.  I'll give it a try.  Thanks.

UpDATE:

I'm not sure what happened, but everything works perfectly now.  Did the download you suggested, retagged and/or double checked everything, re-initialized the database and WAAALAAA - perfect.  For some reason the "Right" button actually does advance player to the next song now.

This software is ssooooooo much better than the Sansa stuff.  Before Rockbox and after I first inserted my 8gb memory card, every time I turned it on it took like 3 minutes refreshing the database.  Now, with Rockbox, I turn it on and about 4 seconds later, it's ready to play.

This stuff is great.  I'm glad I stumbled upon you guys today.

Thanks for all your help yapper.

(Your last name ins't Yapp by chance is it?  I know some Yapps from Vegas.)

What did you mean by this - didn't see what download he suggested unless it was just the tagging. I have Sansa C250 and none of my "long" button presses do anything. Very frustrating to not be able to skip songs, rewind, etc. I wonder if I need to reinstall from scratch?

Thanks,

holding right should make it seek forward in the current track. it pauses because rockbox currently doesnt let you hear audio while its seeking
