Title: iTunes DB to Rockbox DB (aka Tag Cache) converter is offline
Post by: Tarik on October 29, 2021, 07:38:13 AM

The Windows Tool here is offline. The link to it does nothing. Please tell me anyone of you still have that.
I want it badly.
Nevermind, it's just me being stupid and ignoring the written disclaimer at the top. Rockbox was indeed able to automatically detect all iTunes synced files.
I still have two issues though: The album arts are not showing although they are 500x500 JPGs and when I enter the database and go to "artists" it shows some songs of some albums separately if there's someone else singing for that song. I want the database to go by album artist instead. How can I achieve this?

Regarding the album art, see the manual for limitations/constraints:
For example:
https://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildap3.html#x19-431000C (https://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildap3.html#x19-431000C)

For the database, check here for more information.  It is possible to customize the behavior, but due to my limited use of the database, I am probably not the best person to guide you further than this.
