In the mean time, here's what I have done to get my albums sorting by the date, rather than alphabetically - And by this I should point out that I don't ever browse my collection by "albums" but rather by the artist.

In the iPod Manager preferences page, under Database, I edited the "Album" line to look like this:

'('%date%')' - %album%

Which apparently alters the metadata going up on the iPod so that the album title includes the date first. 

1968 - Led Zeppelin
1969 - Led Zeppelin II


Wow, that's what I'm looking for. Thanks!!

Ok, I am a noob, but I got a six month old nano from a friend and installed foo dop, sent some albums to it, and now my ipod says that it has 0 songs on it. My friend had been using foo as well.

Has anyone seen this before? I don't have itunes installed, and like the idea of having an ipod without it,but if I can't sort this out I might have to install it so I can purge the machine and start again.

I need a little help with title formatting.  I want my iPod to use the %album artist% for the Artist metadata unless it doesn't exist or the %album artist% is Various Artists.  Can anyone write me string?

What does that mean - it is working now?

There is an iPod driver included with iTunes - not sure if it actually makes a difference with regards to this component. If not that then the restore would have sorted it out in some way but difficult to say why.

Yeah, it is working now.

I restored once with itunes and then tried foo dop again, sending a couple of albums across. The ipod said there were 0 songs, even though foo dop's library showed that they had been copied across. So I restored again and now I've successfully put about 50 albums on it.

If you want to try and find out why it might not have worked, ask me some questions and I will try to answer. I'm not a tech tho, so it's all a bit beyond me.

Have you got any updates about the genius function yet?

Thanks for this awesome plugin!

Hi there,

Trying to run this plugin with newest foobar (foobar2000 v0.9.5.6) on Windows Vista x64 SP1.

I am so far unsuccessful. foobar continues to crash giving error whenever I try to File -> Load Playlist -> iPod.

Any comments/advice?

I don't know why it isn't working, but I can say it should.
I am on Vista x64 SP1 as well, and it all works like a charm.

What version of the plugin are you using with what type of iPod?

It shouldn't be unhandled. But try a restore using iTunes - the database may be corrupt.

Strange. Can you make a backup (using 7-Zip) of your iPod_Control\iTunes folder on your iPod, upload it on e.g. mediafire.com and PM me the link.

Also in foobar2000 can you go under File/Preferences/Components, and press copy and paste the results here in [codebox ] tags. Thanks.

[edit] I can't see any possibility of Unhandled exception on my side, so not sure where it is originating from. Any idea what step of the process this happens on?

You have a few components that are most likely affected by a bug in an old version of the foobar2000 SDK. I would advise you to either try a clean install of foobar2000; or try foobar2000 0.9.6 beta which should stop any such components from loading.

Just a quick question...

I bought a new iPod today, a 120GB Classic. Replacing my 30GB 5.5Gen.
I loaded my music onto it, without a problem, it was a lot faster for some reason (new HD in the iPod?)

Anyway, I bought the iPod for the bigger HD, but got some new features with it along the way...
1. The Genius function. I asked about it a few posts back, how is support coming along? Any testing I can help with?

2. Coverflow. Works alright. Too bad the iPod doesn't sort per album, but per artist. This gives me the problem of having a lot of entries for compilation albums. I tried to add IPOD_COMPILATION to the tags, suggested by http://yuo.be/wiki/dop:metadata this page. But it doesn't work. I have also tagged all my compilations with Album artists and all the standard tags. What am I missing? Or is this impossible?

Thanks!

Hi, In my opinion foobar+dop is the best program to loading music on ipod. But there is one problem i cant resolve.
How to order playlists on ipod alphabetically? Every new playlist i add, goes at the botom of the list. Any clues?

I put 'Various Artists' as the album artist tag and keep the artists names in the artist tag, works fine for me.

Are you talking about Coverflow as well?

thanks for this plugin, works great with my 4g nano
(using 0.6.3.0)

Just a pair of questions: can't the foobar built in converter be used? (for the multithreading conversion, mainly)

and

Do the covers get convertedto the ipod resolution? I tendo to have quite big covers, it should drain quite a lot of power from the ipod to resize those images on the fly. =p

Ignoring the database side of things, from what I could see in iTunes it is largely based on the iTunes music store. I don't have any comparable data source. The process of finding tracks that "go great together" itself is not straight forward.

It does do that.

Is there a way to access the artwork for music that was loaded to my iPod with foo_dop?  Some of the music on my iPod were uploaded using iTunes and those have the art embedded. The rest were uploaded using foo_dop without embedded art.  I can get the embedded artwork out just fine, but the rest of the album covers are a mystery.


I would love to find out how to do this.  If I can upload artwork with my albums to the ipod there must be a way to get them back off!  Am I missing something obvious?

I only saw this today, but it's probably relevant I post it for anyone vaguely interested with iPhone/iPod touch 2.x software support:

The question is whether they will leave Mediamonkey alone, or not.

They are stored on the iPod in formats optimised for its display. Technically of course you can retrieve those, but not using this component.
