Random guess: track number, disk number, year, index in the database, etc. If you want to know how the database works, its probably easier to just read the code then try and reverse engineer it from the binary.

I was perusing the rockbox folder of my iPod and found some CP files on there... is that what you're referring to? Maybe the docs index on the site?

I figured that one out and rebuilt it using the initialize and update functions. It's now exactly the same as it was before. Keep in mind that I'm very much a beginner at the tech aspect of rockbox (since it worked out of box for me before) so I'm trying anything, then reinstalling if things get too buggered up.

I assume you mean .tcd. Those numbers you found for your files are probably it's tags.
Anyway, rereading your posts, if you did a restore, then reinstalled, and nothing changed I tend to think theres something wrong with your player.

Actually I was referring to the contents of /.rockbox/codepages when you mentioned:

I expected that my device might be on its last legs so this isn't exactly shocking. I just hoped that I could salvage it in some way.
Meantime, I'll keep the thread unlocked for a while in case someone has another idea that I can try.

If there is a metadata parsing issue, it's in that database. I checked the tags for CodeMonkey.mp3 and it seemed there were about 6 sets of 8 character hexadecimal numbers delimited by a space in that database that were not remotely linked to the tags in the MP3.

I get it now! You were talking about reading what the numbers were supposed to mean as opposed to what I thought, reading some included documentation for rockbox.
