I cant See/delete Previous MP3s Installed by Itunes
« on: August 04, 2009, 06:51:42 PM »
I setup my drive to be editable or view files in the control panel windows but alas when I visit said drive window, it shows no mp3 files.  however when I go into rockbox when i turn the ipod on it shows all of the songs I had previously installed.  I did not use any playlists or anything, I just dropped them into the Itunes.  Now I cant get the summbitches off my HD.  Any clues guys?

iTunes hides them in a folder a couple levels deep and renames them.

Presumably you are using the database and not the file browser.

This isn't a rockbox question, but theres tons of software that can back up an iPod, or you could just delete them in iTunes.  Try google if you need software.

Before you go to the extreme and likely unnecessary step of reformatting, try re-initializing the database.
