[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

It's a weird error code because it doesn't mean "File/path not found" but rather "Incorrect function/invalid data". I wonder if that means the problem it is at a lower-level (i.e. filesystem).

Does that particular file definitely exist? If you go through 'Load library' can you play that file in its entirety? Have you tried removing that file through iTunes?

"Failed to remove file: I/O Error: AFCRemovePath returned: 10 Path was: /iTunes_Control/Music/F73/Ween - .mp3"

^ I had same problem, didn`t go away if I am remember correct, but when I was tweaking foobar and re-installed it and foo_dop it started to work. I don`t guarantee if it works for you, but it did trick for me.

ipod touch 1g 8gb + latest foobar n foo_dop.

Hi,

I am using this iPod manager now for quite a while and love it.
I just have bought a new iPod and fully loaded it. Shortly afterward I noticed that I would have been able to send the folder.jpgs, too.
Is there a way to add these folder.jpg without sending the whole 150 GB Musicdata again to the iPod ?

Cheers
Alex

First off, I want to express my thanks to musicmusic for the work he does. This is by far my favorite method of using my ipod.

Secondly, I would like to ask a quick question. When synchronizing my iPod the first window that comes up (Synchronise iPod). Is it possible to make this window larger? It seems to be a fixed size. It would be nice for it to be sizeable and remember this size as well. The only reason is quite trival but, my playlists outnumber the space provided and I ushally end up syncing a checked playlist at the end of the list which is out of site unless scrolled to the end.

I'd like to add a question to this: Is it possible to just press F9, then a defined playlist will be synched and no error-messages (non-supported file-formats)will be shown?

Other Question: All my albums converted during synchronization will be shown under compilations - although they aren't. How can I avoid this?

Use 'Load library', then on the loaded tracks run 'Update metadata on iPod'.

Fair enough, it might be more useful if it tried to size itself to show all playlists instead of just remembering the last size, I'll note it..

Why don't you want error/warning messages, they are shown once the operation is complete?  Or do you mean general prompts before that?

It shouldn't have anything to do if they are converted or not. Usually it's determined by the mapping in preferences.

@musicmusic: I just would like to press f9 (or even just plug in my ipod) and my Ipod is synced with my predefined playlist,  as I am always syncing the same playlist (whole library). And I would apreciate not to see the same error-messages every time I sync my ipod. I have files in my library which can't be synced (mp3+cue-sheet) and I get every time the same error-messages. In Itunes I can choose not to display these error-mesages for the same files the next times. Not a really serious issue, but I thought I perhaps might have missed an existing option in the configuration?
[Converted files apperar as compilation] This really should't have to do anything whith each other, but it seems to be the case! All my converted albums (from flac, wma, musepack) exept my only ogg-compressed album do appear on my Ipod  under "compilations" in my main menu!

You'd need to use some kind of scripting to run the context-menu command on the playlist's tracks, that is the best there is currently I'm afraid.

Well, the warning messages don't delay anything. Maybe you could create an autoplaylist that excludes those files. I understand that you basically want something automated and seamless, but the truth is that this component is quite manual. Maybe that will change at some point, I don't know.

Are you sure there is not some other link? As if it doesn't affect your Ogg Vorbis album, then it points to there being some other factor. Have you checked their metadata against the mapping in preferences, do they all have subsongs/chapters maybe, have you tried using update metadata on them or removing & resending them, ...

Also what is your compilation mapping in preferences, have you modified it at all? It may be relevant to note that the standard path fields should not be used there.

Compilation-mapping: $if($meta(album artist),1,) (I think this is default?)

An example-mpc-track of an album appearing under "compilations" after conversion:

Artist Name : Al Jarreau
Track Title : Just To Be Loved
Album Title : Tomorrow Today
Date : 1999
Genre : Jazz
Composer :
Performer :
Album Artist : Al Jarreau
Track Number : 1
Total Tracks :
Disc Number :
Total Discs :
Comment :
<ENSEMBLE> : Al Jarreau
<PUBLISHER> : Grp (Universal)

Of course I deleted and resent the albums and did an "update metadata" on them.
I like (and want) the possibility of manually configuring things according to my preferences, but just to in the end automate regularly used functions according to my preferences. Now I press F9, choose playlist, press OK, press OK again at the errors-window. For me this could be done whith one button or even just by plugging in the ipod - once the software is configured to my needs. But this really is nothing that will let me change to itunes again 
For example: I use REACT to rip/compress/tag my cds. This is some work to configure everything to my needs - but I can configure everything you can think of. And afterwards I press one button choose the album cover and "hands off": I have mp3s, flac-image everything tagged and copied to the apropriate directory. That's the way I like it!

Well the problem then is your mapping, that will flag up everything with an album artist field as a compilation.

The default mapping is: $if($stricmp($meta(album artist),various artists),1,)

Thanks, this works!  These strings are still cryptic for me...

Yeah that sounds good! I really was just asking if it was possible for me to do it rather than a request to make it happen. But thanks.

musicmusic, Does foo_dop work on Windows 7 (RC)? I have a laptop (Windows 7) and a desktop (XP SP3) both with the same version of foobar2000, foo_dop, QuickTime and Apple Mobile Device Support, I have C:\Program Files\foobar2000\MobileDeviceSign.dll on both, and both have Mobile Device Support enabled, however, only the XP machine can see and copy music to my 2G iPod Touch, any help would be greatly appreciated as my laptop is my main machine
Thanks, Ben

Try the normal troubleshooting steps first and also look in the foobar2000 console.


I have followed all the troubleshooting steps, here is the console log from my (working) XP machine...

and from my (non-working) Windows 7 machine...

For some reason, it can't pair. Not sure why..

Most likely installing and running iTunes once with the device connected should sort it.

Just uninstalled iTunes and re-installed QuickTime and Apple Mobile Device Support, and everything is still working


Looks like it's a Windows 7 problem, tried it on another machine (same setup) and it too fails to pair the device

I have the same problem...
I installed Apple Mobile Device Support (iTunesSetup.exe -> 7zip) and quicktime.
Foobar says : No iPod found...
I am under Windows 7. Didn't try to install/uninstall iTunes.

I'm not sure it is an issue under Windows 7 only, it seems more likely that pairing by foo_dop doesn't work with at least the latest Apple Mobile Device Support (and it's possible it never worked at all). I'm not sure why it doesn't work, but as you know it doesn't matter whether foo_dop or iTunes does the pairing, at least.

The other possibility is that the pairing by foo_dop does work after installing iTunes (but not using iTunes to do the pairing i.e. not connecting the iPhone/iPod touch whilst iTunes is running) ?

Can I use this plugin to manually add songs to my iPod while still using iTunes to automatically sync my podcasts?
