Yep, something's up, it's been 27 hours now and still no new files.  So I restarted it and have selected "initialize database", which should wipe the old one clean and build a new database.

Fingers crossed...

saratoga:
Loading the database will only take a few minutes. If it keeps going that long its probably crashed. 

First, check your file system for errors.  Then if that doesn't fix it, go into system > debug and enable metadata logging.  Then when it gets stuck, check the metadata log in the root of the player and see what file it was stuck on.  If removing that file fixes it, post a bug report with a link to the file so that we can fix whatever bug that file triggered in the database.

Fraoch:
Thanks for all the help.  After several attempts at building the database using the "initialize database" routine I finally got to the point where it indicated "Building database...XXX files found".  At first 176 or so files were found and they kept getting added slowly.  Things looked good.

However the count passed the amount of tracks I knew I had (800 or so) and when I reached 2000 I turned the player off.  A previous attempt stopped at 13 000 some-odd files, way more than the number of tracks I have.

I turned metadata logging on.  I'm not sure how to read this file, Rockbox doesn't know what to do with it and I can't read it in Linux, so I'll post it here in hopes it's worth something.  Something doesn't look right with the file, it's only 336 bytes.  I've added a .txt suffix in order to post it here.

My metadata is a bit unusual but it shouldn't be too bad, all MP3s with ID3v2.3 UTF-16 tags along with APEv2 tags that store MP3Gain normalization data.  There are a few with ID3v2.4 tags though.  The filenames are all good for Linux/Unix.  There are a few files with unusual characters that cause problems in Windows (tracks by Björk and Motörhead for example) but these display and play properly in Linux.  If I could read the metadata log I'd remove the offending files but I can't.

saratoga:
I assume that post means you didn't find any errors on the file system?

Fraoch:
Is there a utility that checks Rockbox's file system for errors then?  I assumed you meant "is there anything wrong with the music files".
