Only one or two songs from each album appear on my player
« on: May 21, 2009, 06:51:00 PM »
Hi,

I just installed Rockbox on my iPod and while I like the possibilities, only one song from each album is showing when I go to "album" or "artist."  I connected it to iTunes to sync it and that didn't fix it, either (not that I thought it would, but it's an option I exhausted).

Am I wrong to think it works in tandem with iTunes?  Or does Rockbox also have software for the PC that I must download.  I tried looking at FAQ and the manual and nothing speaks to this particular need.

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

You might want to consider switching your music to something like MediaMonkey. It is well worth it! :)

No, rockbox has no special software to download to use. The tags on the songs might be bad or non existant.

Rockbox will read the tags on the files on your player, the problem may come through iTunes merely updating it's own database on the iPod/iTunes but not the music files themselves.
