allanbav:
I need a bit help with converting the itunes Database.
I found the FAQ but cant seem to actually work through it. (I appologize my ametur status on Command Prompt)

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ConvertiTunesDBtoTagCache

I cant seem to get passed step 3. I have found where "itunesDB" is located on my ipod. I have extracted "itdb2tc.exe" to my desktop (c:\Documents and settings\Allan\desktop) However when I open command prompt this is automaticaly prompted "c:\documents and settings\Allan>"

I thank you in advance for your time.

mightybrick:
from the command prompt, when opened to "c:\Documents and settings\Allan\desktop" type "cd desktop" (without the parentheses) to change to the desktop folder, where itdb2tc.exe is saved on your desktop.  Then you can follow on to step 4.

allanbav:
Thanks alot man. I really appreciate your help.
However I cam across another problem. After transfering the file and changing the setting to "database" I cant seem to find the arranged list ( artist,song etc.) I did find the randomized Itune playlists.

mightybrick:
I'm sorry, I can't help much more, as I've never used the database converter myself.  Hopefully someone else with more knowledge of the program will chime in.

mor:
i made a very simple Batch file to my own use.
just create a file namede DT.bat inside of your folder \iPod_Control\iTunes
in windows ipods
and paste this commands:


--- Quote ---del *.tcd /y
itdb2tc itunesdb
move *.tcd X:\.rockbox\
--- End quote ---


Where X is you main ipod drive letter - mine is G:

save the file and run it whenever you have updated your songs in itunes.
