Slow database rebuild on Gigabeat F-30
ribbie:
It was really hard getting all that data on a 30 gb player- I had to plug the earphone jack to keep the data from from spilling out. ;) Actually, I remembered the capacity incorrectly- it is a 40gb player. I have done two things that seemed to have corrected the problem. I upgraded the build to v3.3 and went through the album folders and deleted tons of old desktop.ini files and album cover jpegs that I accidentally transported to the Gigabeat when loaded it.
I am thinking to reloading the files (I have done an extensive reedit of the ID3 tags). As of now they are listed by album on my PC. Should I load them into the "album" folder in Rockbox or in the "music" folder. What is the difference?
BTW, Rockbox is an AWESOME utility that has made a good player into an outstanding one. THANKS! ;D

Apparently this is do to a problem in storing a large number of files in the database:

I am so proud that my stupidity has been immortalized. BTW, you are not the first to do so. ;D
I reloaded my ID3 corrected album files into the Rockbox "music" files folder and everything seems to be working well. Is there any difference in placing the album folders under "music" or "albums" in Rockbox?
GodEater:
Rockbox has no folders that it considers important beyond it's own installation folder ".rockbox". You can put music wherever you like. You could create a folder called "CompleteNonsense" for example, load it up with your music, and Rockbox would happily play it from there.
