Song/Artist Names titled strangely after Database Initialization.
Maikuru:
So I just recently installed a fresh version of Rockbox onto my iPod 80gb 5.5 Gen.
This is the first time installing it into my iPod
My iPod contains about 7000+ songs already on there.
I went into the database to initialize and retrieve the already existing songs which it did with no problem.
However, a good majority of the song names are incorrect and not display properly.
Some say "Music" while others appear like "w01923" or something along the lines of a w##### format.
Is there a way to fix this and reset the database initialization?
Also is it possible to find the songs within the database through the computer?

Are you songs actually tagged? If not, then the database won't work very well.

I thought it might've been a tagging issue. I'm assuming just having a song title and artist labeled in the properties and showing up in Winamp doesn't fully cut for a tag correct?
I see that Mp3tag can place tags in batches. How does this work?
I just looked into the iPod_Control>Music folder; there are a bunch of folders that contain all the songs. Looking at the filenames, they have that similar format of w##### but when going into properties the song title is there.

No that should be fine, assuming its showing you the ID3 tags or whatever.

For all of them? I would find a file that doesn't parse correctly and then see what the tags for that specific file look like.

Yes, I just went through the folders and most are named in the w#### format. If not, they have a letter format like "XKJS." I clicked the properties and the details display the title of the song correctly.
