Then go and download it...
Type in search audioscrobbler and you`ll find it.

I have it installed (all my plays on foobar go to lastfm). I'll try to reinstall it then.

I have foo_audioscrobbler 2.3.1 currently.

The older version with the settings doesn't support "playing now"- data.

I beg to differ - I'm using version 1.3.16 of Florian's plugin and as you can see it reports "listening now" just fine; it even reports foobar 0.9 as the player!
np: 4'33"

Just wondering where you are with some of the items on the requests list, mainly...
  • More playlist management features.
  • Integration with, or allow Foobar's media library to scan the iPod library (on iPhone/Touch)
Thanks

I have been looking forward to using this (by all accounts) excellent component -- I just purchased a 4th gen nano and am very thankful that I won't have to install or use iTunes.
Thanks, musicmusic for all your efforts!!

I have some questions:
- Is is possible to change the "name" that is assigned to the device, after it is first sync'ed?
(I expect I could do this within iTunes, but would prefer any solution that does not involve installing Apple's software.)

- Can this component be used to sync with more than one iPod?

- It appears from what I've read here that foo_dop will also sync video.  Does anyone know of a way to sync other info with the device? contacts? photos?


Thanks!


Edit: spelling.

What are you looking for specifically?

Well, the first problem is that you can't add the path to the media library in the first place. The second is the lack of file modified dates and change notifications, to some extent I could simulate those though.

Unfortunately you need to use iTunes for this currently.

I don't see why not. Unless you mean physically connecting them both to your computer simultaneously, in which case the commands will operate on one of them.

Since my iPod crashed during file transfer, I get the following error message every time I try to access the iPod:

Error reading metadata cache: Unsupported format or corrupted file


Any solution?

Delete the metadata_cache.fpl file in the root folder on your iPod to overcome that.

I think I found a bug.  I have Phrenology by The Roots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology_(album)).  It has 2 [Untitled] tracks back to back which are silent (tracks 15 and 16).  When I loaded the album the first time, all 18 tracks were copied just fine onto my iPod.  However, the next time I synched it, foo_dop was telling me I should remove one of these tracks (I couldn't tell because they both have the same track title).  Now, on my iPod, the album has only 17 tracks because foo_dop removed one of the [Untitled] tracks.  Is this a bug on my end, or is this a bug in the plugin?  By the way, I'm using foobar 0.9.6.3 with 0.6.3.9 foo_dop.
The component uses the modified date, filesize, artist, title and album to identify each track. Cleary you have some odd case where those are all equal for those two files. If you are going to keep blank album tracks on your computer, I think it's probably a good idea to give them different titles. I'll think about including tracknumber etc. in it, though.


I was thinking a little bit more about this problem, and adding tracknumber is very close to the answer, but it wouldn't necessarily fix all problems.  There's an odd edge case involving multiple discs and tracks with the same name and size across these discs.  It's obscure, but in order to totally ensure that no conflicts will happen, you'd need to check the modified date, filesize, artist, album, discnumber, tracknumber, and title in order to completely guarantee no conflicts.

Why can't dop calculate gapless data for some files? It tells me that some files aren't on the iPod, but they are.

It would be handy if I could create playlist on the fly, and drag and drop the songs I want, I have created playlist in foobar and synced them, but if I remove them from foobar, they get removed from my iPod when running a full sync

Thanks

If you mean the command, do a load library and run the command on the results.

Where is the "rewrite database" command to sync up the play count (I'm using a 1gb ipod shuffle if that matters)?

When I go to view songs on my Touch (1st gen, jailbroken, latest firmware) and go to V or W they are messed up.
First you can see V, okay. then W, okay, but when I scroll down the list I see V again and W again and again.

Thanks for this great software!  Finally I don´t have to use itunes to sync my ipod. Two questions:
1.: Is it possible to sort the albums of an artist by %date% on my ipod instead of the alphabetical order?
2.: When I have a compilation named "A" and there are solo-albums on my ipod of one artist also residing on this compilation, I have a album "A" under this artist containing only the songs from this artist on compilation "A". (Is this comprehensible?  ) Can I avoid this somehow?

1. Currently modifying Album Sort tag on iPod is impossible, but you can just change Album tag mapping: Tools » iPod Manager » Database, and set Album value to "[%date% - ]%album%".
2. In the same place set Compilation value to "$if($meta(album artist),1,)" (assuming Album Artist tag is present in your compilation).
