hello, I just received a neuros 20 gb backpack usb 2.0 today. I proceeded to use positron, which set up okay but does not seem to work when I do positron sync.

However, i did manage to make ndbm work, so it is currently syncing the music on my computer to the neuros.

Now, I would like to have a command line tool since I like command line more than gui, and was wondering if anyone else were experiencing problems, or if i were an isolated case?

the problem is basically "the number of format strings do not match the number of extra input fields"

I am using linux kernel 2.6.5, and trying to load ogg files. i tried manually positron nameoffile.ogg but that did not work either

might want to try out sorune http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sorune/. you can use that from a command line and just in case your wondering it is written in perl.

I believe ndbm also has a command line as well. I don't know where to get the docs; try the ndbm forums or web site.

I've never, not even once, tried Positron, so I couldn't guess what's up with it.

Positron was never updated for artist under album support. This is probably the source of the problem, especially if you've already created a database with some other program. It should work if manually delete the old database and you use positron to create a fresh database. But you are probably better off using the NDBM or sorune command-line. Good luck.
