iPod
Database Builder & Recovery
All the songs and playlist are saved in
an ipod in form of database. There are tables
present in the iPod which saves all your
selcted songs, movie, video, podcast, pictures.
And if this database gets corrupted then
you have to get them repaired for bringing
the iPod to its normal condition.
iPod database Table are in this
format
Mhbd : This repesents
the whole database
Mhsd: A list holder, holds
lists of songs (MHLT) or play lists (MHLP).
Mhlt: Header for a song.
Child records (Mhit->Mhod) hold more
information.
Mhit: A Song item. Child
records (Mhod) hold the title, genre, location,
etc.
Mhod: This record holds
strings associated with the
Mhlp: Playlists Place holder
Mhyp: A playlist record,
contains records that point to the songs
in the play list.
Mhip: Points to a song
record.
Mhod (type 1): A type 1
is a ‘title’ record. This holds
the title of the play list. Mhod records
hold strings of data.
Mhod (type 100): The purpose
of this particular record is lost on me,
The only data is a index relating to the
mhip record. I can’t only assume this
is put in for future use. Or perhaps it
allows an alternate name for a song in the
playlist.
In case your database is corrupted
you need to rebuild the iPod database
to recover your ipod data back and make
the ipod accessible. Ipod database builder
repairs the corrupted iPod database and
recovers your ipod from the SAD
face. There are also some software
tools available which created their own
database in your ipod such that you can
download any MP3 song to your iPod.
Then you don't have to depend upon the iTunes
for listening songs now you listen any songs
from your computer. You just have to use
iPod database builder to create your own
database for your iPOd.
