Hello !
I spend a lot of time rebuilding my gigabeat id3 database everytime I add music on my player. Would'nt it be great to just port the database building code to Windows/Linux in order to build rockbox database from your computer ?
Thank you !
This task depends upon

That's already possible thanks to a (very unpolished) tool that's in the tools/ dir.
I'll try to give more details before closing.

Thanks !
Can you just name the file, so I have a look at it ?
Comment by Nicolas Pennequin (nicolas_p) - Tuesday, 22 January 2008, 22:18 GMT+2
Oh sorry I forgot to give the details :)
The file is tools/database.c
You can build it with "make database", but it doesn't seem to compile ATM. Also it's still very basic, but I know it worked for me at one point.

Trying to use nmake database outputs : "makefile(9) : fatal error U1033: syntax error : '=' unexpected", while trying to build database.c using C::B warns "unreferenced" exceptions. Is there another way to build database.c ?
Apart from this, should'nt #include "../apps/tagcache.h" be used instead of #include "tagcache.h" ?
Thanks.

In fact, everything gets messed up : apart from many (many) warnings, a SDL.h not found exception occurs. Ideas ?

Seems ArenOlson is working on this, see TagcacheDBFormat on the wiki.

In order for this to compile this these days a lot of work is needed to split out the metadata handling in Rockbox from core / firmware functionality.

Metadata handling has now been moved out of firmware.

For <a href="http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9371?pagenum=13">FS9371</a>, I prepared the tool to make the music database on PC instead of tools/database.c.

Please let me report the impression that makes sondb in your environment.

build for songdb.exe
$ cd utils/songdb
$ make

Please read utils/songdb/readme.txt about the usage etc.
