difference between MUSIC and ##MUSIC#
« on: August 27, 2014, 05:13:43 PM »
I'm running rockbox on a Sansa Clip+, and have been for years, it's a beautiful thing (big thanks to the developers)

From the main menu, going into "Files" (like you are going to play stored music), I have two similar folders. One is MUSIC and the other is ##MUSIC#.

What's the difference (and could I delete one of them without messing things up)?

Thanks in advance.

Rockbox isn't picky at all about this kind of thing.

It doesn't expect any particular arrangement of  files or directories, with perhaps the exception of /Playlists (and possibly /Recording), which it will create itself if required. It has a full file browser with a user settable start location, and a database that will traverse the entire filesystem looking for media, it doesn't expect media in any particular location.

Long story short, you can delete everything except /.rockbox, if you wanted, and Rockbox wouldn't bat an eyelid nor shed a tear for their loss.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.
