Most everything will have at least artist/album artist, album, genre, year, track/disc number. I do have album artwork for 99.9% of my music. If I recall mine comes in at 59MB, what’s yours? If I understand correctly it doesn’t touch the files, just the metadata logged in the itunesDB for the files. I only tried to get it to shrink my DB file before and after I got the 64mb because I read people could get the 32mb to work with an appropriately sized itunesDB file. Randomly, usually when waking the screen back up after it times out playing a song it will take a good bit for the backlight to kick in and actually respond to the button presses. Scrolling through artists and picking a song is fine but I think I did have issues where the song would take a bit to actually start.Īfter performing a sync and ejecting I have to wait a long time for it to actually get back to the screen or I can do a menu/center button restart which takes just as long. But if it goes to sleep it takes just as long to start up each time, basically it’s powering itself off rather than sleeping. Handily saves space on the iPod as well, thanks to supporting in-folder album art, meaning the files transfered to the iPods are not burdened with unnecessary embedded album art on them eating up storage space. Takes slightly longer to boot when it hasn't been used in a while, but that's about it.ĭo/did you have excessively extensive metadata on your files? I'm not familiar with Floola, but from it being an iPod manager, I'd assume it to edit/update the iTunesDB file as well, and not just the files' metadata? Also, are you using automatic syncing with iTunes? I wouldn't be surprised if iTunes recognizes a shaped-up database file on the iPod and goes to "correct it" so that it matches your computer's iTunes library, undoing the shaping-up done with Floola.ītw, what album art issues are you having with iTunes? I've always managed my iPods with Foobar2000 + foo_dop and never had album art issues. 3 x 128 GB cards) iFlash Quadded 5.5 gen and that's been running perfectly fine. I have a little over 31K tracks on my 352 GB (i.e. How's it running like shit? Is overall navigation and other UI stuff more sluggish in addition to the increased booting time and powering down behavior? Sounds odd. If anyone has any solutions/good tutorials for iTunesDB shrinkage let me know! I have a 1TB "7th" gen that works great for the most part with iTunes, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with the 5th gen. Just wish the interface worked the same but I understand why not.Īll in all it is a beautiful iPod. So for now I will sync in iTunes and listen in Rockbox. I still love to use iTunes to manage my library due to the way it works and can incrementally sync (it knows what's newly added and I don't have to try to remember) and don't see myself resorting back to the old school file explorer/finder management that I did back before iPods and we all used WMP or WinAmp. I did use iPod Album Art Extracter for RockBox and some of them started working but there is still a lot missing. Having issues with album art since I still use iTunes to sync my library.
Fortunately /u/MrBarkan made a theme which is loads better than the gawdy Rockbox themes of past. Resorted to using Rockbox, which I personally do not like. Takes forever to boot, to wake up, and will power down after being left unused rather than staying asleep. Tried to trim/shrink the iTunesDB file with Floola but couldn't get that to take affect. Only to find out it still works like shit, even though it boots now which is good at least. Had to source a 64MB logic board to replace the original 32MB due to the amount of songs in my library.
