First of all thank you for making such a beautiful app. This app was one of the main reasons for buying my n800.

I put a bunch of mp3s in one of the SD cards, and I tried adding it to the library. I saw that only a coulple of them were indexed, so I tried to figure out what was the problem and why some mp3s were not getting indexed. I found out that some mp3s no matter what you did to them never got indexed. I removed non english characters, removed embedded album art, and nothing.

It was pretty hard to determine which mp3s were not getting indexed so I did the following: I created folders with each letter of the alphabet and started adding the files to each corresponding folder. I first added to the library the "A" folder, and everything was indexed correctly, but the "B" folder is not getting scanned and indexed. I'v tried deleting the canola.db, restarting the device, shorttening names, and nothing has worked. The B folder currently has only 10 files and I've found out that some of the files prevent the rest from being scanned.

I've double checked that I have atabake, removed the db, restarted the device, checked that the folder is correctly marked, uninstalled and re-installed, and have done everything I've read in the forums.

Any sugestions?

One more thing, I copied the canola.db to my PC and opened it with sqlitebrowser, to analyze the DB structure. If everything else fails, is there a software for the PC to populate the DB in your computer and then just send the file to your device?

Once again thank you and sorry for my ramblings!

Some sort of success:
I studied the DB structure and populated the database manually with SQLite Database Browser. I manually imported, artist, albums, files, etc..., (just of the "B" folder to try it out), and it worked! Canola recognized my new database and everything is working fine. Now my only problem is with one song, it has VBR and for some reason Canola crashes everytime it tries to play it.

I will try to manually populate my entire library and try it out. Hopefully I will be able to have my entire library on the IT.

If this works, i'll try to make an automated process out of it.

Tarkam,

Sorry for this incovenience, it seems that LSM / indexing is failing in some cases (and they are more common now) and we need to investigate it further.

Also, instead of populating by hand, can you try using lms alone? (lms project is in garage and its the one responsible for scanning / adding to the DB) and it's fully opensource there.
