4 | \subsection{Introduction} | ||
5 | Tag Cache is Rockbox's music database system. Using the information | ||
6 | contained in the tags (ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis Comments, Apev2, etc.) in your | ||
7 | audio files, Rockbox builds and maintains a database of the music files on | ||
8 | your player and allows you to browse them by Artist, Album and Genre. | ||
9 | |||
10 | \subsection{Using Tag Cache} | ||
11 | Before you use the Tag Cache for the first time, you need to tell Rockbox to | ||
12 | create the database from your music files. This typically takes around | ||
13 | 5 -- 10 minutes and you can continue listening to music normally whilst | ||
14 | this is happenning. You can even shut down your player and resume the | ||
15 | database building process next time you turn it on. | ||
16 | To force the initial database to be built, go to the main menu, then | ||
17 | General Settings $\rightarrow$ Playback $\rightarrow$ Force tag cache update. | ||
18 | |||
19 | The Tag Cache database can either be kept on disk (to save memory), or | ||
20 | loaded into RAM (for fast browsing). This configuration option can be | ||
21 | found in General Settings $\rightarrow$ Playback $\rightarrow$ Tag cache. | ||
22 | Once the database has been built, you can browse your music using this | ||
23 | database. To use the database change the show mode by changing the General Settings $\rightarrow$ File view $\rightarrow$ Show files option to | ||
24 | ``ID3 database''. This disables the File Browser and instead of the file | ||
25 | browser you will now access the database. | ||
26 | |||
27 | \note{You may need to increase the value of the ``Max files in dir browser'' | ||
28 | setting (General Settings $\rightarrow$ System $\rightarrow$ Limits) | ||
29 | in order to view long lists of tracks in the ID3 database browser.} | ||
