hi. im just new in rockbox, and im wondering what do you use to put music in your ipod?

1. use the iTunesdatabes to rockbox database converter? (found here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ConvertiTunesDBtoTagCache)

2. or did you delete all your music in ipod control hidden folder, and re-uploaded all your music again?

as for me now, im using the itunes to rockbox database converter. i still upload my files, edit ID3 tags in iTunes. then i just use the Database converter. but the thing is, everytime i edit my music files in itunes, i always need to to run the database converter which is kinda not user-friendly.

what is the best way to manage music in rockbox?

thanks..

GodEater:
Or option 3) Use Rockbox's own database - covered in the manual, section 4.2

duayne:
oh thanks for the fast reply!

ill look into the rockbox's database now..

thanks :)

so you're saying using the rockbox's database is the best way to manage music? are you using it?

GodEater:
Not personally no - my iPod doesn't currently run rockbox. But there are lots of very satisfied database users. *Looking in Bascule's direction*

duayne:
oh! that database!

actually, that is what im using right now...

i edit my tags and add music in itunes, then i use INITIALIZE NOW everytime there are changes..

but is it ok to use INITIALIZE NOW every now and then? it takes like 5 mins every initialization (and that is what i dont like) is there a way to just initialize only the new songs or the only ones that has been changed?

thanks..

===========

EDIT!

oh, i get it now... what you are trying to say is to delete the itunes database/music files, then upload your own music in their respective directories, then USE the DATABASE.. am i correct?
