I have some other problems to do with this issue happen this morning.
#1 it finally connected to the USB mode & let me copy music to it & delete the music off the player but I have a problem it still shows the new music & the old music that is no longer on the player.
#2 the new music would play but there was no sound at all & it wouldn't play any music with sound & I didn't have that problem yesterday why I having these problems now
-
really need help with this & now for some reason the volume is now really low also.
there is another problem I don't understand the Database still shows music that is not on the player anymore.
Now after I booted the player in the Sansa firmware it updated the muisc & it shows the music in 2 different sections in the files section music folder & #music folder which is the one music is post to be in

i still don't understand why the database still shows music that is not on the player anymore

You need to update the database to clean out the old songs.
Also, sometimes the database will find files that windows left in the recycle bin.
Use the rockbox plugin called disktidy to clean the disk.

i have another problem with the database I update it & now took all the other music off but here is the problem it only shows one of the new artist I put on there & I know I put more then one on there what could be the problem now
-
still having the same problem of the database after update only showing one artist but in the files section it shows more then one artist
-
The database doesn't get its information from file names, so if files show an artist, that has no effect.
The database gets its information from the ID3 tags embedded in the actual mp3 files.
So to fix what the database finds, you have to edit the tags.

Jumping on other people's post is not going to get you anywhere is it.
Start your own thread and ask a question
-
I have a question about the MP3 Tag Program how does it tag music if some music are going on the player & some are going on an Micro SD card
-
Tags go in the mp3 files.
-
i know the tags work with just the mp3 player but I don't about the Micro SD Card
-
I don't understand your question - the tags are inside the MP3 files - wherever they are, including on the SD card.
The database is a separate thing - information ABOUT the tags that have been found.

what I am saying is when I was taging music to put on the MP3 player I didn't have an micro SD card to use & now I have one I want to know if you tag the music & then put it on the Micro SD card will that work or how does that work
-
When you tag an MP3 file, the tag is embedded within the file.
Form then on, wherever the file goes, the tag goes too.
-
The tag is inside the file. If you move the file, the tag goes with it. Copy the file to a memory card, internal storage, your hard drive, a CD, email it to someone, it doesn't matter, the tags are INSIDE the file, PART OF the file.
