4.2. Database
4.2.1. Introduction
This chapter describes the Rockbox music database system. Using the information
contained in the tags (ID3v1, ID3v2) in your audio files, Rockbox builds and maintains
a database of the music files 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 first time you use the database, Rockbox will scan your disk for audio files. This can
take quite a while depending on the number of files on your player. This scan happens
in the background, so you can choose to return to the Main Menu and continue to listen
