missing files on default ui/winamp.

<< < (3/3)

sheepduck:
i'd be inclined to believe that it could be ml_ipod but i've been using the same winamp/ml_ipod version combo for over a year with no problems. i could also be leaning towards a hardware problem, but i think if there was some sort of hardware malfunction involving missing/invisible database files, that rockbox would also reflect the same problem. i take it rockbox doesn't have any feature to like backwards write a database to the apple firmware?

so if (though i'm not convinced yet) this ends up not being a rockbox issue, would any of you guys have any suggestions or guesses as to what's up?

edit: when i asked for a media player able to read/play files from rockbox, i meant reading from the database/playlists, not having to search through the crappy hidden folders and obscurely named tracks that are normally created haha.

Llorean:
If it's a problem with ml_ipod you shouldn't be seeking help here.

Since it's a problem in the Apple firmware, remove Rockbox and see if the problem persists. Then reinstall Rockbox, remove all the music, then re-sync it. If the situation is different with and without Rockbox then there's something to investigate. If there's not, then it's a problem you should seek help with elsewhere.

But rather than assuming it's Rockbox, the first thing to do is do some tests to see what happens. You'd need the results of those to find an answer anyway, whether or not it's Rockbox.

sheepduck:
i don't have access to all my music off of the ipod so i'd rather use that as a last resort; like i said it's been added to the ipod over many years. like i said i'm not specifically suggesting rockbox as the culprit, i just came here because i recently installed it and then encountered the problem, so it's only logical to come here for help first. i'll do a few simple tests and tweaks to see what i can come up with in the morning, i'll save the removing and reinstallation of firmwares for later on as well.

Llorean:
Did you update the original firmware before installing Rockbox?

saratoga:
I have no idea why you're asking for help with the Apple firmware here, but its:

a)  Unlikely to get you much help since hardly anyone here uses the ipod firmware
b)  Off topic since these are the rockbox forums 

I suggest asking the ml_ipod people for support, or just rebuilding the iPod's database from the files on your player.
