Database-2 of everything

(1/1)

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, I only hope that I'm in the correct spot.   So I recently resurrected 3 of my families old mp3 players, one of them being the  Notorious Gigabeat f40,  Being unable to do ANYTHING with it in its default state I decided to put Rockbox on it.  It was simple enough, and I have been enjoying it for a couple days now.  At first I was putting two of every music track on it-one in the music file, and one in the album file so I could find each track easier if I wanted to- And that was all well and good until I found the database.  I was so ecstatic when it did the job of setting up artist, albums, etc. folders for me.  I only have one problem- There is 2 of every track (I assume because I had two of everything in the files).  I thought that it would be no problem and went back and deleted all the extra tracks from the album folder, but there is still two of everything, and every time I try to select either of the two I'm prompted with a message that says "erase dynamic playlist?"  select=yes     any other=no and then sometimes if i wait a while after selecting yes it will say "searching  0 found..... power to abort"   If anyone could help me sort out this matter that would be absolutely terrific, Thanks!

Just an update:  It seems I was able to fix this on my own,  by mixing what two other people said on seperate subjects, I first deleted the duplicate files that I myself had put of the device in the albums file, then I deleted those files from the recycling bin (God only knows why that might work)  then I deleted all the .tcd files.  I re-initialized the database and voila- the duplicates were gone.   Many Thanks to AlexP at http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,24258.0.html and Sirius at http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,14297.0.html

Thank you JdGordon for your would be help too ;D

Chronon:
I know you have resolved the problem, so I just offer this as an explanation for you or anyone who finds this by searching.

When you build the database it searches everywhere except subtrees where it finds a database.ignore file.  Your recycle bin is a folder just like any other.  If it has files they will be found and listed in the database, unless you put a database.ignore file in it.
