I think that may have been bad advice that returns to folder above album folder.

This:
Code: [Select]
$directory_path(%path%)\cover
returns to album folder.

Would it be possible for conversion profiles? I have 3 iPod's (Video, Shuffle & Touch), I sync my full library with the Video and manually manage the Shuffle and Touch, however, I only want to transcode the files copied to the Shuffle to save room.

I was thinking that it would be handy to assign a profile to each hardware ID?

Thanks

Add artwork to files send to iPod is checked (hehe, would be pretty stupid not to..)
Source script: front.jpg
Additionally use foobar 2000 built-in artwork reader is also checked

Should I change something to the source script? None of the files have embedded artwork, all of them use front.jpg. I'll try leaving the source script blanc.

Edit: I left the source script blanc, removed one of the albums without coverart from the iPod and added it again. Regretfully still no cover..

entering this into the source script should work:
Code: [Select]
front

The scrobbles are not being imported from my iPod when I connect it.

What is displayed on the console in foobar2000 when you run 'File > iPod > Rewrite iPod database'?

iPod manager: Warning - SQL post process command failed: duplicate column name: rental_expired
iPod manager: Generate SQLite database completed in 0.8354065 s

OK, I think this is something for musicmusic (the foo_dop developer). I really don't know what this means


Any ideas?


Fix'd!

I enabled "Only submit tracks from my Media Library" and disabled "Submit tracks from dynamic sources", because I noticed metalboy had it like that. And now it works just fine. Pretty damn random if you ask me. But hey, it's fixed!

Thank you so much, this seems to work! I used the "Update artwork" command and now all the covers show up!

@metalboy: Tanks for the help! My artwork is located in the same folder as the albums, so there is no need for absolut paths indicating the location of the covers.

But where should I enter that code?

Take a very close look at the screenshot on the manual page that I linked to - it's hidden in plain view... *hint hint*

This still doesn't seem to be working for me. Tracks from compilations are still appearing separately when browsing by Album on the iPod. Here are my settings, and there properties dialog box showing how each track within a compilation is 'coded':






Furthermore, despite the appropriate checkbox being ticked (see below) scrobbles are still not coming from my portable device:



What am I doing wrong here?

I currently synchronise to my iPod via 'File > iPod > Synchronise...' then check the two playlists I want to transfer and click OK.


Any help greatly appreciated.

Looks to me like you need %album artist% not albumartist in your string. You also apeared to have created the tag albumartist in your properties, there is already a line album artist above. You should do some reading on title formatting.

Try checking only scobble tracks from library. I know that helped someone else a few posts ago.

I actually didn't realise that I wasn't using the standard tag with the space in the middle. I've just gone through my entire media library replacing the ALBUMARTIST tag with ALBUM ARTIST and this has solved the problem I was having.

Just done this, and now it seems to work. It only seems to actually submit the data if new songs are added or songs are removed from the iPod. Just synchronising but not actually making changes doesn't let the iPod transmit this information, which is strange.

Thanks for all the help, anyway.

I don't want to go through the whole topic but I have one question... or whatever you would like me to call it. Anyway.
I put a lot of music on my iPod earlier today and that went really good, got all the songs and got all the album art. Then I started to tag the songs - I want it to be the right genre and all that stuff - but when I ejected the iPod after I completed the tagging process and looked at my music at the iPod, nothing had changed, why? Is there something I have to do? I loaded the library as a playlist in Foobar2000 and then I tagged the songs right there...

I hope someone will answer this, I would really appreciate that!

After googling this for some hours I finally found how to do it, haha. So simple..., I'll post it if someone else will get this problem in the near future:

Quote
After you edited the genre tag, select all the tracks on the Ipod, right click -> iPod -> Update metadata on iPod.
That's because the iPod software doesn't read the file tags themself, but an external database which is update only by foo_dop. Editing a file tag doesn't update the database and so you see still the old tag. "Update metadata on iPod" synchronizes the database with file tags.

I got problems scrobbling ipod 5g stuff (it's Vista, foobar 1.0, latest audioscrobbler and dop plugins - updated yesterday to ensure it's recent).
The problem is I am not seeing any plays scrobbled nor even sent to last.fm. I did check console to see what's up and what I do see there
is:

on startup:

iPod manager: Device properties: DBVersion: 3, SQLiteDB
iPod manager: 88 post process SQL commands, version 9
iPod manager: Apple iPod/iPhone connected. Device Instance Path: USB\VID_05AC&PID_1265&MI_00\000A2700203DD354&AAPL0


after the sync:

iPod manager: Warning - SQL post process command failed: duplicate column name: rental_expired
iPod manager: Generate SQLite database completed in 2.8670066 s


What worse, all my plays are "taken" from ipod but as they are not sent to last.fm at all it also seem to be
completely gone due to that issue. It's not buffered, cached nor anything else (checked track count in prefs -> 0,
didn't check audioscrobbler's cache file, but I do not expect to find any gems there either).

This seem to be somehow related to 5g ipods as I also got 4g one and see no single problem
at all with it (and with scrobbling/dod). I did checked "archive" of this thread and it seems someeone
else had the same issue, but I found no solutuion. Any working hints?

I read the last few pages and so far it seems like the only way to add ringtones to the iPhone is via iTunes, is this correct?
If so, are there any plans to support sending ringtones to the iPhone with foo_dop?

I don't have iTunes installed as all my apps I download from the Apps Store on the phone, and everything else is synchronized over the air for me, so I don't see a need to install iTunes and would rather leave it uninstalled.

Thanks

Yes, I think so. I don't know of another way to sync them.

I don't think it is so much about foo_dop supporting it as much as it is Foobar2000 supporting it. But, I will leave this to the developer.

It doesn't detect my iPod, but it does under 32 bit win 7.
I do have iTunes and of cource Apple Mobile Device Support installed.

On your 64bit OS do you have 64bit iTunes installed or 32bit? I would try 64 if not. What does it say in the console when connecting it?

I got that option turned off (I want to scrobble all I got). As I wrote - this config is just the clone of files from the box it works harmless with
ipod 4g. But it that's known that randomly playing with some foo_dop's settings is a working cure - I'd give it a try and write back here.

If he is on 64bit he would def. need the 64-bit iTunes installed so that the 64-bit drivers get installed. The only other thing I've found (which I've added to the foo_dop wiki as well) is to ensure that the first time you connect your iPod onto a new machine (that has foobar /w foo_dop open) make sure it is unlocked in the home screen (if you have it passcode protected). If the phone is passcode protected and locked foo_dop will fail to pair with the device, though after the initial sync you can connect the phone (while locked) to foobar /w foo_dop and you will be able to connect without a problem and manage your music/videos on the phone/ipod.

The steps above have worked for me multiple times on multiple Windows 7 32/64-bit machines and Windows XP 32-bit machines.

If it doesn't work after trying this, please post what the console output is.

Request: A function simply to collect playcounts from the ipod, as opposed to rewriting the database. This takes a long time for my ipod and often makes foobar temporarily freeze.

Before you sync, check if the "Play Counts" file is present at \iPod_Control\iTunes on the device. It should be removed after syncing.

If it is, and support is definitely enabled in foo_audioscrobbler: make a backup of iPod_Control\iTunes with the Play Counts file and e-mail it to the address on my website.

It would do the same thing!

You're going to have to provide some more info and do a bit of work to work out what is causing your problem, e.g. check a clean portable fb2k install, check the iPod classic's SMART data (see new wiki FAQ), log using Process Monitor, explain what part takes a long time, list of components installed etc.
