RainDawg, does your iPhone work in mass storage mode?
My new iPhone 3G not, so foo_dop seems unable to recognise it...

Not sure what mass storage mode is....you can't (officially) use it to store files other than what iTunes would send.  foo_dop recognizes the device under 2.0 just fine, it just doesn't write an iTunes database that compatible with whatever it is looking for.

Hmm blah then it's just the minor part of the problem.. I will remove that version since it does nothing useful, and do some more investigating.

Thanks for the reply Keikonium

I tried "Rebuild MP3 Stream" and other options under utils, but still no luck.
I also tried 2 other ipods:  IPOD Nano 2Gig v1.1.3 and IPOD 4G U2 v3.1.1 and they experienced the same problem. 
I installed the applications on a different PC and same thing...

You got the point
iPhone 3G is shown in explorer only for imaging support.

I don't know if you hacked your 2.0 in some way - my device is not being recognized. I activated "Enable mobile device support" and restarted foobar, but foo_dop keeps saying: "No iPod found!"
My scenario:
iPhone 3G
iTunes 7.7 with Apple Mobile Device service running
Vista x64 SP1
fb2k v0.9.5.4
foo_dop 0.6.2.5

When will foo_dop support firmware 2.0? I have an iPod touch 16GB FW2.0 and foo_dop can't find the ipod

Take a look in the foobar2000 console. It should say something like "Listening for Apple Mobile Devices" on start-up, or otherwise some error, and there is usually a message when the iPhone is connected.

Note that if it was not clear the 0.6.2.5 won't work completely correctly anyway. But if I understood correctly, opening and closing iTunes after using that build only will add the hash/whatever to the database so the iPhone accepts it. If anyone wants to play around with that build it is still available here.

It should find the iPod touch.. as above check what is going on in the console. Are you on 64-bit OS also?

Ok, it sees it now.  Will it sync correctly though?  When i go to ipod properties it says:

Failed to send SCSI Inquiry command: Not supported on iPod touch and iPhone
Trying to read SysInfo. Model may not be identified if SCSI Inquiry failed due to denied access.

Failed to read SysInfo: Object not found

Older versions of foo_dop allowed you to load your iPod playlists into fb2k (for editing and reuploading, or just for playing in fb2k). I upgraded from an older version of foo_dop (not sure which one) several weeks ago but it seems that this functionality has been removed. How can I edit iPod playlists now? (I'm not expected to reconstruct them, am I?)

Thanks for any help.

Properties is not currently supported on iPod touch/iPhone..

No, syncing etc. does not work correctly with iPhone software 2.0. (Yes I know you have an iPod touch but Apple still call it iPhone 2.0 software....)

You can load playlists into foobar2000 from View/iPod devices.

I don't know at the moment, it depends on what the exact problem is. Hopefully it's just some minor database changes but we'll see..

foobar 9.5.2
foo_dop v. 6.2.4

I've tried everything that I could think of to successfully put artwork for music that is already on my ipod.  Foobar's built in artwork finder sees all of the artwork with no problems but when I try to use "Update metadata on ipod" it doesn't transfer the artwork or even update the tags on the ipod.  It simply does nothing.  I know that the tags on the ipod are not updated because if I try to sync with the ipod playlist I've created in foobar it wants to delete nearly all of my songs and re-upload them. 

Alternately, if I use the "Send to ipod" command then the artwork is added.

I would really rather use a combination of update metadata and sync playlist than have to send to ipod.  Am I doing something wrong or is this not working for other people?

And I don't want to sound pushy, because I know you guys do this for free and I know nothing about the code and such to sync with an ipod, but do you know if a version might come out in the next few days or have you guys not had the time to look into it yet?  Im just asking because I leave on vacation in a week, and I need my music

You need to run it on the results from "Load library". It will try and add artwork based upon the original path of the file originally sent to the iPod; it should pick up the same stuff as through send files. Does that not work for you?

well that command does not update the files on the iPod, only the database, so this doesn't relate to it.

It's not likely to be done in a few days. There is a 46 or 44 byte hash structure that Apple added at some point, but I don't have it confirmed this is the problem. If it is then it depends on someone finding the algorithm (bearing in mind Apple really doesn't want anyone doing that).

Now there is the workaround using 0.6.2.5 I mentioned a few posts above which I believe works, but I don't have that completely confirmed. Feel free to try and confirm but be prepared to restore if there are problems.

Update on iPhone 2.0 software compatibility

Apple have again protected the iTunesDB database from third party modification by means of a cryptographic signature. The signature they previously used is no longer present in the database. The new signature is 46 bytes at position 112 (72h) in the iTunesDB database. The first two bytes are always 01 00 so far (maybe version indicator), the next 44 bytes seem to be the main part of the signature. These bytes are some function of a unique device identifier and a SHA-1 hash.

Without knowing how to produce a valid signature that is accepted by the device, proper support for software 2.0 is not possible. Of course, this happened previously and was overcome, however the circumstances are somewhat different this time, I would not expect anything soon.

Great plugin, thanks. mp3 transfer has been working flawlessly.

I'm having a problem using the conversion feature. When I try to send a FLAC file to my ipod, I get the error

"Failure to add to iPod:Conversion failed - Unexpected process exit code 00000001h"

I've tried with both lame 3.97 and lame 3.98. The conversion parameters I am using are taken from the foo_dop wiki:

Code: [Select]
-S -noreplaygain -V 5 -vbr-new - %d


Using foobar to first convert the file and then send is working, but I'd like to get this feature working, without the intermediate step. Thanks!

It seems like the wiki ate some hyphens.. Fixed now, thanks. The correct command is:
Code: [Select]
-S --noreplaygain -V 5 --vbr-new - %d

Although I don't believe the latest version of LAME needs --vbr-new.

Hi everybody,

I am new to iPod and also first time trying to integrate the foo_dop plugin into Foobar.

So far I did not manage to send music to iPod.

When I select files, right-click, choose "iPod" and "Send To iPod", file copying process runs and files are really copied into iPod (location iPod_Control\Music), but it looks like they are not written into the music library.

Another problem appeared when I tried to click Manage contents or Synchronize library. A window appears with warning "Error reading ArtworkDB database: bad allocation".  (this is where my ArtworkDB is located: iPod_Control\Artwork\ArtworkDB ).

I would welcome any kind of help to make this running, 'cause I really like Foobar (and dislike iTunes..).

[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

Possibly the ArtworkDB file is corrupted, did you use any other third party iPod managers? I would do a chkdsk and then restore the iPod with iTunes.

Also it should give an error if there was some problem writing the database after copying the file, so it should be there, you can use 'Load library' to check what's in the database, but that command most likely won't work due to your other problem.

What exactly do you mean by "chkdsk"?

Load library function works, but is shows all music in iPod - except those files I tried to add using Foobar+foo_dop.

Btw. I have iPod "classic" with 1.1.2 software version.

EDIT: I found what was wrong... From some reason iPod "disliked" one music album (I did not find why - tags are correct and files are mp3.)
Now I tested with other albums and it works fine.

Another question: when I load the library from iPod in Foobar, should I be able to see album art or not?

[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

Reply #1447 –
No, you will not be able to see the album art in fb2k. The important part is that you see it on the iPod screen. If you do see the album art, then you are good to go.

Well yes, the error with bad allocation fixed itself...

After an hour of playing with iPod and adding some music, I have to call back the information that now sending files to iPod works well.

I encountered a problem that albums added by foo_dop suddenly disappeared from iPod, while those albums added by iTunes remained. Of course, the files disappeared only from the library. I also tried iTunes alternative called Floola and it has a function to find music files which are not recognized by iPod. And yes, all the files added by foo_dop were listed there. Therefore I have one question - could it be a problem that Foobar and iTunes run both at the same time? Or could it be that iTunes sync makes some modification of the library?
