4.2 Database

4.2.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Rockbox music database system. Using the information contained in the tags (ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis Comments, Apev2, etc.) in your audio les, Rockbox builds and maintains a database of the music les on your player and allows you to browse them by Artist, Album, Genre, Song Name, etc. The criteria the database uses to sort the songs can be completely customised. More information on how to achieve this can be found on the Rockbox website at ZDataBase.

4.2.2 Initializing the Database

The rst time you use the database, Rockbox will scan your disk for audio les. This can take quite a while depending on the number of les on your player. This scan happens in the background, so you can choose to return to the Main Menu and continue to listen to music. If you shut down your player, the scan will continue next time you turn it on. After the scan is nished you may be prompted to restart your player before you can use the database.

Ignoring Directories During Database Initialization

You may have directories on your player whose contents should not be added to the database. Placing a le named database.ignore in a directory will exclude the les in that directory and all its subdirectories from scanning their tags and adding them to the database. This will speed up the database initialization.
