If you’re asking “Why does this feature even exist?”, the answer is: because other people find it useful, even if you don’t.
Now if would be nice if the Sansa firmware could be configured to refresh the database only when you ask it to; or if it could update the database in the background, so the device is still usable while the refresh is going on.
It would also be nice if the the f/w could be configured to take you straight to the Folders menu if that’s what you prefer to use.
But you’re not going to see the ID3 tagging/database features removed just because you and maybe 5% of other users don’t like them.
