OK I can confirm that sliding is not working. I completely re-added my library to phone (not related to this) and now it does not work. So, before my reload working now not. Tried with re-write database and synchronize as well.
I have an iPhone v3.1 as well.

Hey I just wanted to drop in and let you know how helpful your program has proven to be. I couldn't tell you how long I've been looking for a simple alternative syncing program to do exactly what you have accomplished with your ipod manger. I have been using it as a alternative to iTunes because iTunes refuses to reliably support/sync multiple different ipods on one machine for use in our school classroom with 15 ipods that consistently need to be updated with new podcasts and audio files.

I only have one simple feature request, when you select synchronize from foobar2000 File->iPod->"Synchronize..." can there be a selection window (or just a select all option?) that selects what ipods the program will attempt to automatically sync?

If that can be added please let me know cause this simple feature would save me quite a few mouse clicks
Thanks again
Mike

Found an odd bug with this today.
If I send files tagged and named in Japanese with my code page set to the English default everything is fine.  If I send them with my system default for non-unicode programs set to Japanese it works fine.  If I send them with it set to English but with Foobar loaded via Microsoft's AppLocale and set to Japanese, foo_dop screws up big time.  It sends the file names as "tracknumber - " <-- note the trailing space.  Normally there would be more file name after that, but the rest of the name and extension get cut off, presumably by some character encoding problem.  Windows really hates files with trailing spaces, eventually found if I went to command prompt and deleted/renamed them via \\?\driveletter:\ipod_control\music\f??\filename syntax I could change them, but normal Windows API programs like explorer or a simple del filename would not work.

Also, if I tried to do pretty much anything with the files via foo_dop it would get stuck until I hit cancel and/or cause explorer to crash.  Manually deleting them all let me remove them from the ipod database with it though.

Not really sure what to suggest to fix the problem, other than tighter filename/encoding checking possibly.

Anyone tried 3.1.2 yet?

Just updated to 3.1.2 on my iPhone. Music all in tact, added a video with foo_dop. I played a song and tried a sync, foo_dop didn't see any changes. Still testing though.

Yeah some strange stuff happening. Songs missing, albums missing. I go to ipod and rotate for cover flow, phone goes back to home screen.

Question: When activating "Replaygain scan converted files" what do I need to edit in the parameters if I want my files to be processed as I do in foobar, which is "apply gain and prevent clipping according to peak"

Currently, the parameters I have in foo_dop are: "-S --noreplaygain -b 320 --vbr-new - %d"

Not sure, I have an iPod touch 64GB now so I should be able to do some testing to find out

Actually, that option has been set since day one. Since my library is not in iTunes, and is nominally stored in formats not supported by iTunes or iPod, I have to manually add files and do not sync.
iTunes shouldn't be removing anything from the iPod sent by foo_dop then, you don't keep it open whilst using foo_dop do you?

Not sure whether you are asking for automatic syncing or just talking about the synchronise window? You can right click in the latter for a 'Select all' command though.

Can you post an example (source) filename that that happened to? Can't really see any reason for it.. Also, what OS?

Shouldn't really be any difference in 3.1.2 from 3.1.1/3.1. Still having problems?

There's no way to do that on the component's side, it would probably have to be an option for the ReplayGain to SoundCheck conversion. Not sure if it would be entirely effective though as I don't have control over the iPod's playback engine.

Well I was having enough problems to go back to 3.1 right after that post. iPod portion was almost unusable, songs missing, some showed in cover flow but not in artist or song list. Other times, I would click on the ipod and song list would show and then immediately change back to home screen. I needed my iphone in tact for the weekend. Maybe sometime this week I can switch back to it. I do know that removing all the files and just adding a few songs seemed to work fine, but no playcounts.

I am not sure if a newer version of the firmware will prompt the need for foo_dop to re-load the entire library or not.

I'm having some problems with artwork on my iPod Nano 4G. Occasionally, some songs seem to have wrong album art (Even though it shows up fine in Foobar as a folder.jpg). I don't know why, but it's happened a couple of times. I haven't given it much thought or tried to find the cause yet. Any ideas?

Well to clarify, I am looking for a simple way to use your software to automatically synchronize a couple selected playlists to a bunch of ipod touches I have connected to a computer all at once (kinda like a sequential clone process).
It seems right now foo_dop just sequentially picks one ipod to sync at a time, therefore you have to click "File->iPod->Synchronize..." in order for each ipod to actually sync the desired playlists.
Make any sense?

If you know of a easy way to set up foo_dop to do a one-step mass clone for a classroom setup you'd really be a life saver
Thanks again

I there, I totally love this plugin. However, when I upload an compilation album (let's say the Best of the 80s) each number/single on the iPhone is show as an album. So I get 15 times the "best of" albums.

I am using an iPhone 3GS with the firmware (still) 3.1.

I tried looking on this forum for an answer but I couldn't find one  Any help is appreciated!

This exact thing happens to me. Is there any workaround for this?
If i add an album with different artists (but still the same Album name), they show up in the "Albums"-view as seperate albums, but all the separate albums have all the songs in them.
So no matter which of the "albums" i pick, they all show the same songs. (And i am sure foo-dop only synced it once. cause syncing the entire album 30 times would take a while.)

Any ideas? :>

Hi,

I'm using foo_dop 0.6.5.7 and foobar 0.9.6.9 with an iPhone 3GS. Whenever I try to send a song to the iPhone I get the following:

Please install/reinstall the MobileDeviceSign library.

What can I do?

Thanks,
Mark.

I have the same problem. MobileDeviceSign.dll and zlib1.dll are installed in components. I believe the log says there shouldn't be any problems but still i keep getting the "Please install/reinstall the MobileDeviceSign library" message whenever i want to sync with or send to my iPhone. I have enabled Mobile Divices Support. Seems to me that everything is in order but still  no luck.

Here's my log:

Check the home page again. Those .dll's are not in the right spot.

Meaning they should be in main foobar2000 application folder, is that where they are at?

Is there any way to create a playlist from the iPod in fb2k? More specifically, I have an On-The-Go playlist that I would want copied to fb2k.

Oh yeah, I have a 2009 160GB iPod, it's working just well with 0.6.5.7, just noticed some .flac files that are repeatedly synced to the iPod. Tad bit annoying.

Have you guys tried the tag ipod_compilation and set the value to 1?

http://yuo.be/wiki/dop:metadata


I tried this no, no change at all.
Something is acting really strange about this.

I tried different things, renaming the albums and so on.
And actually one of the times i renamed an album from "Test 1" to "Test 2" suddenly another album which had its normal name would be renamed as well. Even though i didnt TOUCH those files in foobar.

When i click "Load library" in foobar, all the names are correct. While on the iPhone the album is named something different (e.g Test 1). The compilation tag doesnt seem to change anything ever.

This seems .. strange.

Seems like it never fails as long as all tracks in the album has the same artist.

I have an issue with using the "update metadata" function with my iPhone (3.1 firmware). I'm no longer able to modify any metadata. If I try, it reverts back to the old metadata. If I modify metadata from inside iTunes, the metadata changes will be reflected on the iPhone, but when I go back to Foobar2000 it will still display the old metadata when I reload the library.

Dear musicmusic
I have a development request: With the increased usage of pen drives and memory cards as a means of storing music for use in car audio systems, would it be possible to use such a device instead of an iPod with your plugin? It would be great to grab a selection, apply replay-gain data and copy to a removable drive or drive\folder.

Thanks for all your hard work to date.
