Hi, I am completely new with SQLite. My friend has a mp3-Player (I think it was a Phillips iPod like device) and asked me if I can put him some music on. Unfortunately I discovered, that you can do it only with the Windows-Program belonging to the device, because they have a database-file in which they write all the information about the musicfiles stored on it.
Curious, I looked inside the the databasefile with an editor an I found that line: ** This file contains an SQLite 2.1 database ** So I downloaded the file on my Linux-computer. Today I downloaded SQLite and I tried to open the file with the commandline-tool. When I do .tables or .databases I get this error: Error: file is encrypted or is not a database I searched the mailing-list -archive, but did not find any hint. What is the problem? May it be that I copied the file from the device to my computer? Thanks for any hint Karl Sinn
