* Repro:  Under "My Media" after I click on the new "Music" link it list albums, artist, and tracks that have been deleted. 

When I search the drive via mounting the drive for one of the tracks (I find the name via Web app rename option) and I get nothing.

Also via the web and iPhone apps, when I click on the tracks "display parent folder" option I get the old path and an error message saying "This drive is not available.". I have only ever had one drive with my PogoPlug.

Any ideas? Should I delete the ".cedata" file to rebuild my music catalog? 

Please help I have some bad music I deleted (From my wife) and I have friends thinking I have bad taste in music :)

1 - nice sinistar!
2 - you can indeed delete parts of .ceadata to rebuild your catalog - the names of the directories to delete should be self explanatory (album, artist, etc.) - go ahead and delete them, then plug your drive back into your Pogoplug and let it do its thing.

Hey J

#1 Thanks on the Sinistar point :)

#2 Still no luck. I ended up removing everything in the below folders and the deleted artist still show in the list. Talking Celine Dion and 'N Sync, please help :)
* malbum
* malbumuid
* martist
* mgenre

Anyway I can rebuild everything while keeping my shared invites to my friends?

Heya,

I just talked with engineering and I was wrong - you can't just delete a part of .cedata - you do have to delete the whole thing. Sorry about that, if you want to to say bye bye bye to 'N Sync, you'll have to delete the entire folder.

This is, btw, a bug that we have logged - when you delete stuff, the database should also delete those entries. I'll post back here when we have a fix available for this.

No fix yet (more than a year later)?

This is very, very annoying. Managing music is simply HELL with this device. Not only (in my case) it doesn't detect track # properly (while every software and MP3 player I have can), and deleting files doesn't make albums disappear from music listings, forcing me to unplug my pogoplug, mounting it on my PC, delete the .ceadata software and plugging it again to the pogoplug, EVERYTIME I delete music from it so the index is kept up to date.

Works great for cloud file storage, but so far, multimedia functions are in a not-even-workable state to me.

(Sorry for the double post, you can delete previous one) ;)

Still no fix for that a year later?

Just bought the pogoplub mobile. For cloud storage, awesome device. For multimedia, not so great device.

Somehow, my pogoplug cannot detect proper track # (while all other apps, software and MP3 players I have can) and everytime I have to delete an album (because track listing is messed up) I need to unplug the drive, hook it to my PC and delete the .ceadata folder before plugging it back, for the index to rebuild itself.

It's just silly that, at least, there isn't a way to tell the pogoplug to just rebuild the .ceadata folder by itself. If the system can't delete albums from its music index if it is deleted from the disk, at least, allow users to tell the drive to rebuild that folder. At least, that would save us the hassle of having to constantly moving it from pogoplug to PC and back...

And, why can't we just have an option in the browser to "delete" an album? Click on that, it deletes itself from the database AND delete the associated files...

Great device, but the software (and firmware) seems to lack basic, essential functionality.
