i got a sansa e260 4GB model on woot.com a month or so ago for 45 bucks, and got a freeware player OS that overrides the original firmware called rockbox.

It works great, has awesome features and the battery lasts for ever, but when i first installed rockbox, it added and "updated" itself to add all the songs in the library already on the mp3 player, and added it to the rockbox list so i didn't have to re-synch all my music again.

But here's the problem...i've added about 3 or 4 CD's worth of music onto the player, and it's not "updating" itself, so i can't play the music that i just added because it doesn't think it's there.

When i first start up the mp3 player, if i hold the left button, it will load in the original firmware and not in rockbox, so i did that, and the original sansa firmware has "detected" all the songs i recently added.

So here's my question, how do i get my rockbox firmware to "detect" or "refresh" it's library so i can play stuff i just added? It's kind of hard to explain, so if clarification is needed, just say and i'll try to explain myself better. Thanks in advance.

I would have to assume like any good player, you must add your songs to a library, as in make a new one, maybe "My CDs", then add your new songs to it.

i did that. It works perfectly fine with the original firmware, but rockbox doesn't "refresh" it's database for some reason, pretty sure a full re-install of rockbox would fix it, but i was looking for an easier way.

maybe the player has a refresh-function? like on my mobile phone:
library -> options -> update library

Convert the .cda files to .mp3 first and it should pick them up fine.

they're all in .mp3 format already, i'll search for an update function but i'm pretty sure it doesn't have one

then dont use rockbox...

yep, that's pretty much what it's coming down to. Bummer, because rockbox made the battery last longer without all the unnecessary animations and stuff, and it had a sleep timer that i used often. And it had a shit ton of games. Oh well, thanks anyways fellas.
