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


Afaik yes, but you should try it yourself  Sync only podcasts on itunes, then add songs to ipod using "send to ipod", but you wont be able to "sync" music with foobar then.
Anyway, I'm using foo_podcatcher and im very happy with it. Now i dont use itunes at all (since foo_dop can sync plaback statistics back and forth, including rating). With podcatcher you can download all podcasts to specific folder, then create autoplaylist pointing to that folder and sync the playlist with iPod. I guess you cant throw those podcasts under "podcasts" menu in ipod, but you will get them as playlist or whatever you describe using field mapping in foo_dop settings.
Beare in mind that foo_podcatcher is in alpha state and has few flaws.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a way to scrobble multiple plays of a song played on my iPod?
I heard a song several times but it only appeared once in my 'recently played' or is this technically impossible?

Thank you!

The iPod will only record the last played time, and not the time of each individual play. Hence I understand only the most recent play would be scrobbled.

Okay, that's what I had in mind. So is there a possibility to create 'fake time stamps' for the plays before the last played. Because for me it is not important when I listened to the song exactly, but the amount.
And it would be much more comfortable if you could here a few days the same songs / albums and then scrobble them.
Do you think this is possible without modifying the firmware of the iPod?

Version 0.6.4.3 released, details in the change log.

This now tracks artwork using hashes, and adds an 'Update artwork' shortcut menu command to copy changed or added artwork. The first time you use this command on existing tracks sent by an older version of foo_dop it will be slightly slow (because it will recopy the artwork).

I only see:
Download    Version    Notes
iPod manager    0.6.4.4    Experimental
iPod manager    0.6.4.2    
iPod manager    0.6.4.1    
iPod manager    0.6.4.0

Obviously 0.6.4.4 is newer. And if you see the cahngelog, you'll see that 0.6.4.4 is due to a small bugfix

I assumed 0.6.4.3 was released as stable, and 0.6.4.4 was experimental, besides, 0.6.4.3 is the only one missing on the list.

Hello, I have been using Foobar for about 2 years now and I've also been using foo_dop.dll, but just recently when i try to transfer songs to my iPod it says"Parameter Incorrect" When it is trying to write the iPodDB, so I installed iTunes again and restored it with the new firmware and tried it again and it still gives  me the same error. Itunes will send songs to my ipod but Foobar wont, so i'm stumped, I have a 80GB iPod Classic with firmware 1.1.2, does anyone know any solutions to get foo_dop to work again for my pod?

Unfortunately, it may well be a problem with the iPod's hard drive.

Try running chkdsk on it. Also, running Process Monitor whilst trying to use foo_dop may help find what file operation is failing (filter it to foobar2000.exe only).

Hi musicmusic,

I have a sync problem, I think it may be due to my iPhone's firmware : 3.0b5. foo_dop sends my songs as usual, but it won't show in my iPod library. I must sync with iTunes (regular sync : Calendar, Contacts... no music) to make them appear.

Any idea ?

Yes: Apple have "changed" something.

After using foo_dop, does just opening and closing iTunes sort it?

If so can you backup the iTunesDB file straight after using foo_dop, and again after opening & closing iTunes (and send those to me). You can back it up by holding Shift, clicking on File and going to the relevant option.

[edit] Eugh, there's something about an SQLite database mentioned in the firmware. Are you able to have a browse around the files on your iPhone? A backup of the iTunes_Control\iTunes folder would also be handy..

I can browse my iPhone

So you need 3 files ?
- Backup with some songs ok, some not
- Backup with all songs ok
- Backup of iTunes_control\iTunes

I'll send you them by mail.

Thanks for those

But.. indeed we now have an SQLite database. It's relational, at that, too.

Unfortunately, as you can imagine SQLite is not currently used in the component, nor am I particularly familiar with it. So I don't know, but it's certainly no overnight fix.

I still can have my song with artwork/lyrics by foo_dop
Launching iTunes is annoying, but not as if I had to sync songs with it

I would like to report a bug that I have found when trying to do a mass update of album art on my ipod. The artwork was not updated for albums that contain "and" in it, for example "B-Sides and Rarities"  or "Love, War and The Ghost of Whitey Ford".
 
  The problem can be easily reproduced: create an album with "and" on ipod in it and try to update the album art.

  Sorry if it's been posted before, I have no time to read the whole thread.
  Thanks a lot for a good work!!!!!

PS May be I was wrong about "and", because changing the album to "Love, War n The Ghost of Whitey Ford" does not  help either and also using an artwork from a different album(shown ok on ipod for that album) does not help    .
Just in case I use 5.5g 80Gb ipod and either VBR MP3 encoded by lame 3.97 or ALAC encoded by ffmpeg (both types have a problem). Fb2k v. 0.6.9.5 and foo_dop 0.6.4.4

If it did not work in older versions either, I would check the two points under 'general notes' here.

Just a quick question, is there anyway to install the ipod service without installing itunes?  Thanks!

iPod Service? No. Or do you mean Apple Mobile Device Support?

Download the iTunes installer, then open it with 7zip (or others). Extract the Apple Mobile Devices Support.msi and run it. You're done

Yeah I just figured that out.    But alas, still doesn't work (maybe it's a Windows 7 thing).  I guess I'll install itunes later.

I have never got foo_dop to work with my 2nd gen iPod Touch on Windows 7 without iTunes, hoping it get fixed though, not a fan of iTunes, and don't really want it on my laptop

Same here on Win7.
You can simply install iTunes, then uninstall it and finally reinstall AppleMobileDevicesSupport.msi.
