Problem with database?

(1/3) > >>

PlutonianLord:
I have a Sansa e260. I had about 200 songs on it and installed RockBox about two days ago. Today I tried to add three songs to the e260. I put them in and updated my database, they weren't there. I changed my folder to view all and put the songs in the MUSIC folder, I updated again; still the songs were not in the database (and yes I did reboot). Also all of the previous song are fine, it's just that these three won't show up...

Chronon:
Could they be showing up as untagged?

I have a sansa e280 and I'm having a similar problem, though mine seems to be more complicated... Everything that was on the mp3 player before I updated shows up, except each song shows up twice. I can't update the player or it doesn't seem to be registering the update. I use WMP to sync the device automatically and it seems to work fine. When I check on the device itself, all the new music shows up as it should. It's only when I try to play the mp3 that I can't find it.

I checked out the untagged theory and the songs I'm looking for aren't there. I updated some of the songs on my computer, adding the correct file names. Everything works fine but when I sync it, there's no change to the device. I can't seem to update it beyond what it was before I added Rockbox.

When I run sansa with the original firmware the songs are there, it's only with Rockbox that they don't appear.

Also there's this glitch where every song in my list appears twice. I don't think there are two physical files of each song because there isn't enough space on the mp3's hardrive for that. It's 8GB and I have 7GB of music on there.

Chronon:
Regarding multiple database entries: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8414

If you read the comments near the end there's some settings mentioned that seem to provide a workaround for people.

How are you updating Rockbox's database?

Tegzz:
Thank you, I'll check out that link.

The mp3 is set to MSC--though I've tried MTP as well--and I sync it automatically through Windows Media Player. The original firmware recognizes the updates but Rockbox doesn't.

Edit:

--- Quote ---I had this problem on my e260 until I enabled both the "Load database to ram" AND "Directory Cache" options. Hasn't happened since.

Where can I find those options?
