That's the great thing about speculation...I don't know. I just know that this problem has persisted as long as I've used Rockbox, and I've finally had the time to approach the community for assistance. I know that I've deleted the directory and database files several times to no avail---and I'm trying to avoid being labeled insane.[1] Just because files are deleted does not mean that the data is gone; the filename is just delisted from the filesystem's table. Thus, I thought perhaps the underlying data was being absentmindedly recovered; sort of a side effect between the application and the file system. > Have you checked to make sure that both the ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags are up > to date, rather than just one of the two? Hmm, does RB only look at ID3v1? The web site says *both* v1 and v2 are supported, but it does not explicitly state that one is favored over another.[2] Since ID3v2 tags appear at the beginning of an MP3, offers more tags, and gives more space to certain tags); I assumed that ID3v1 was a fallback choice used in the absence of ID3v2. Or, at the very least, in the event of a conflict would default to the more "mature" of the ID3 versions. Now that I know that I have to make corrections in two places for Rockbox to notice, I'll make the mental adjustment. Unfortunately, I have to wait until I get home to make this adjustment.[3] Is this documented somewhere, or does this warrant an update? This one irritation aside, I much prefer the Rockbox interface to the Archos standard. I hope you'll appreciate that I'm merely hunting for an answer, not looking for an excuse to complain. -- Ben Wilson "Words are the only thing which will last forever" Churchill [1]: For those who believe that doing the same thing repeatedly because you expect a different outcome.
