Separating Audiobooks and Podcasts

(1/1)

Senpai3330:
So I'm a new convert  :) and really enjoying Rockbox so far.

My only complaint is the lack of a specific Audiobook and Podcast selection under database. Right now I'll hit shuffle and every once in awhile a podcast or audiobook pops up and it's a minor inconvenience but annoying all the same.

Is there some way to make rockbox exclude these files from the database? or maybe just specify genres to exclude?

AlexP:
You should be able to do it with this I think (I haven't tried it personally, I don't use the database):

BruceHP:
Check your Specific Manual, for the Sansa e200:

Ignoring Directories During Database Initialization
You may have directories on your player whose contents should not be added to the database. Placing a file named database.ignore in a directory will exclude the 
that directory and all its subdirectories from scanning their tags and adding them to the database. This will speed up the database initialization.
If a subdirectory of an 'ignored' directory should still be scanned, place a file named database.unignore in it. The files in that directory and its subdirectories will be scanned and added to the database.

BTW, I don't use the Database, I play everything from Folders.

Thank you both, I'm using rockbox on the Fuze currently, but I'll try Bruce's method when I manage to drag myself outta bed tomorrow.
