\section{\label{ref:tagcache}Tag Cache}
\subsection{Introduction}
Tag Cache is the Rockbox music database system. Using the information
contained in the tags (ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis Comments, Apev2, etc.) 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 and Genre.

If \setting{Auto update} is set to \setting{on}, each time the \dap{}

\setting{Update now} setting does. Note that the \setting{Auto

\item[Initialize Now: ]
Before you use the Tag Cache for the first time, you must initialize it by
using the \setting{Initialize Now} function in the \setting{Tag Cache
Menu}. \setting{Initialize Now} removes all database files (removing
runtimedb data also) and rebuilds the database from scratch. This takes
approximately 5 to 10 minutes, and may require a restart to allow the
files to be committed to the cache.
The Tag Cache initialization happens in the background, so you can continue
to listen to music while the Tag Cache is being initialized. If you shut
