(SETTINGS → GENERAL SETTINGS → SYSTEM → DISK → DIRECTORY CACHE) is
enabled. UPDATE NOW includes that check whether dircache has been enabled or
not.
Initialize Now You can force Rockbox to rescan your disk for tagged files by using the
INITIALIZE NOW function in the DATABASE MENU.
Warning: INITIALIZE NOW removes all database files (removing runtimedb data
!
also) and rebuilds the database from scratch.
Update Now UPDATE NOW causes the database to detect new and deleted files
Note: Unlike the AUTO UPDATE function, UPDATE NOW will update the database
b
regardless of whether the DIRECTORY CACHE is enabled. Thus, an update using
UPDATE NOW may take a long time.
Unlike INITIALIZE NOW, the UPDATE NOW function does not remove runtime
database information.
Gather Runtime Data When enabled, rockbox will record how often and how long a
track is being played, when it was last played and its rating. This information
can be displayed in the WPS and is used in the database browser to, for example,
show the most played, unplayed and most recently played tracks.
Export Modifications This allows for the runtime data to be exported to the file
/.rockbox/database changelog.txt, which backs up the runtime data in
ASCII format. This is needed when database structures change, because new code
cannot read old database code. But, all modifications exported to ASCII format
should be readable by all database versions.
Import Modifications. Allows the /.rockbox/database changelog.txt backup
to be conveniently loaded into the database. If AUTO UPDATE is enabled this is
performed automatically when the database is initialized.
4.2.4 Using the Database
Once the database has been initialized, you can browse your music by Artist, Album,
Genre, Song Name, etc. To use the database, go to the MAIN MENU and select DATABASE.
Note: You may need to increase the value of the MAX FILES IN DIR BROWSER setting
b
(SETTINGS → GENERAL SETTINGS → SYSTEM → LIMITS) in order to view long lists of
tracks in the ID3 database browser.
There is no option to turn off database completely. If you do not want to use it just
do not do the initial build of the database and do not load it to RAM.
