I am a novice Rockbox user .The database issue arose after putting on 3.8 .I removed all files ,did a reformat ,reinstalled 3.8,put music back on external drive. & it was as before !A mystery. I still get a hiss ,background hiss on some 24 bit flac .The Beatles 24 bit is ok .Another mystery .They play ok in MediaMonkey. Great firmware thanks to all the experts involved . Need a good source for other suitable players , to experiment.Any suggestions for good second hand souces ? I am in Australia.Ebay has plenty of old worn out Ipods but is there a specialist outlet ?

i have the same (doesn't terminate generating database) problem on 3.8 stable.
I try nights_build 29625, 29626, 29630 but they don't recognize external flash card (16Gb) only internal memory (8Gb).

I try nights_build 29625, 29626, 29630 but they don't recognize external flash card (16Gb) only internal memory (8Gb).

What happens if you insert the card after its booted?

[deaf_bear]

i don't try this.

But I specially install r29625 now again and do all that you suggested.
I do this:
1) install rockbox
Manufacturer: as3525
Version: r29625-110320
2) boot it and go to "System-Rockbox info"
See that HD1: not present (Although it is)
3) take out mSD from player
4) Put in mSD to player and go to "System-Rockbox info"
See that HD1: 56.3MB/14.9Gb
yahoo!

BUT then i reboot player and HD1 disappear again.
So strange, each time when turn on player i need to do "take out-put in" SD card from it.
It seems that automount of external flash not working at boot.

P.S. when I do this steps when rockbox info sreen is active - player hangs up.

i'm sorry my english isn't very well

Thats a known problem with the current build.  What I wanted to know is if the database builds?

[lwizard]

Yes with r29635 databse correctly builds!
But uSD automount problem is a great issue..
Do you think you'll fix it soon or do I have to turn back to 3.7.1 one more time?

Thanks!

yeah, build r29625 resolve issue with database too.
But i find 2 problems
first - automount mSD
second - wrong codepage of tags in mp3 files. This bug present even in 3.8 stable(even in 3.7.1 but only 1 mp3 album). I have mp3 and flac files. It have names and tags with a russian letters. In file browser i see it in right codepage both (mp3 and flac), but when i initialize database ... in database i see tags of mp3 files like it in a Latin ISO 8859-1 codepage. Flac files in database I see in proper codepage - cp1251. But if i play file that have a wrong codepage name in database... in wps screen it show in proper codepage.
Both (mp3 & flac) have tagged using a cp1251 codepage. Before I use rockbox build 28308-101018 and with the same file i have no trouble with codepage of tags in database.
Now I try to understand it is assign with id3v1 or id3v2 type of tags.

pfffff
I delete all database_?.tcd & database_idx.tcd files, then Use Initialie Now option, in new database all files have tags in proper codepage. Unbelievable.

Is this fixed in 3.8.1?

Yes, no database problem with 3.8.1, but I know nothing about cards as I don't use them...
