Currently, I have this under Compilation on foo_dop: $if($stricmp($directory(%_path%,2),'Various Artists'),1,0)

How do I change that code to make it so that as well as putting mp3s I have in my Various Artists folder into compilation, it will display the tracks on my iPod as "Artist - Title" ?

Artist: 
$if($stricmp($meta(album artist),$meta(artist)),$meta(artist),$meta(album artist))

Title: 
$if($stricmp($meta(album artist),$meta(artist)),$meta(title),$meta(artist) - $meta(title))

Compilation: 
$if($stricmp($meta(album artist),various artists),1,)

Rewrite database is *not* the correct method to apply those settings to the existing tracks, if you have the latest version just press help to see the instructions or alternatively they are here.

Oops, I knew I was forgetting something  Should be sorted now though in 0.6.2.1  (Just do a rewrite database)

Apologies. I thought given that every file on the iPod would be affected by the remapping rewrite database would be the thing to do.

How about an "Auto-Update Metadata" on the file/iPod menu, to update all metadata on the ipod from library? Would save some clicks!

Another feature suggestion: on the recover orphaned tracks functionality could be shown a list of which files are to be recovered, or even better: a possibility to select which to recover and which to delete (cause most times it'll be doubletes anyway).

['('%date%') ']%album%

Hello,

thank you very much. This works for me. But is it also possible to prevent the date from showing on the iPod ?

Cheers Alex

Hi!

Thank you for the wonderful plug-in. I've been using foobar2000 for many years in Windows, and your plug-in was the last nail on the coffin for any other music players.

Lately I've switched to Linux (foobar2000 was the only reason keeping me away from it), and I get foobar2000 working pretty well through WINE. However, I can't get your plug-in to work with it, and it keeps saying that no IPOD has been found.

Is there some trick I can do?

I apologize if this has come up before. Ijust find it annoying having to switch to Windows to load the IPOD.

I'm still experiencing issues synching my iPod Touch with foo_dop 0.6.2.1: apparently all files are sent every time I try this operation.

To test it, I erased my iPod, sent a Playlist of about 1000 songs and, when complete, tried a sync of the same playlist: all files where listed in the preview window as to be removed (and sent, of course).

Turns out that the tags Foobar2000 had cached for both the files in my media library and the files on my iPod were out of sync, so foo_dop always detected a discrepancy.

The solution - open the iPod library, select all files, choose "Tagging > Reload info from files" from the context menu, then do the same with the files in my foobar2000 library.

mobyduck: It "should" work with files sent by foo_dop, but as you maybe know I don't have a touch to actually test. I can't see a reason why it shouldn't work, and also I'm sure it was working for someone else. Maybe you can experiment with just a few files to see if you can find out anything (but really, things are just a bit complicated with the iPhone/iPod touch). Are relevant is whether they are transcodes and whether you use other iPod management apps (iTunes or others).

But don't you also have the issue of making the component/iPod read two different databases?

You can't change the path foo_dop uses by default (well, if you are editing the firmware maybe you know how to edit the component). But you can do it manually if you put the tracks wherever you want and use "Send to iPod" (if you move the tracks using foobar2000, you can save the re-reading metadata part).
