Hey, firstly thank you very much for this plugin! It's excellent! I'm just wondering, is there a quick and easy method to deleting music off the iPod other than resynching the whole music playlist or loading itunes? Thanks

Few questions regarding the Reserved disk space (thousandth of total capacity):
1. How much reserved space is essential? Only for firmware updates, idop db, etc?
2. The default value 5  means 735 mb to my 6g 160 (147*5), which seems far too much. Can decimal points be used in the value, i.e. 0.2 etc?

Just got an ipod and have been using foobar for years. I installed foo pod but foobar still can't detect the ipod
What actual model though?

Hi guys, I just found a bug, but it's probably all Apples fault and has nothing to do with the plugin.[...]
Yes unfortunately I've seen that kind of behaviour on a few iPod models...

You need to do a 'Load library', then you can use the remove command.

It might seem like a lot, but in the case where you send 160GB of tracks in one go, your artwork thumbnails will end up several hundreds of megabytes hence it would need that space. If your iPod is near full and your artwork is already all copied, you can lower the value - but it will still need space to write temporary database files. For 160GB of music the iTunesDB file will likely be in the tens of megabytes. Hence there is no need for fractional values.

Thank you alot, musicmusic, it clears up now. And makes sense.

Another question that tortures me (physically*) is RG » SoundCheck. It has no effect at all (tried even -12dB) — the volume is the same regardless of SC being on or off. Looks like the SC info was not written or is not accessible.

RG is present, ipod 6g v.1.1.2, idop v.0.6.5.0, no conversions, tried both album & track, different tracks, both new ones & w. updated meta.
Any ideas maybe?

* 6g is too loud @ the min volume (for night audiobooks etc)

If they are transcodes, make sure the relevant option is enabled on the conversion tab in preferences. (OK, they aren't)

You can check what has been written to the SoundCheck field in 'Manage contents'.

It does work and I also have an iPod classic... Toggling the SoundCheck option whilst listening to something is a good way to check (probably not with the volume on minimum..).

Otherwise, are you using the headphone jack or some kind of dock?

As for volume on minimum setting:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25056

(Possibly attenuation by SoundCheck suffers the same limitation and causes it to hit this limit earlier in the volume setting and maybe that's what you are seeing..)

Update: OK I've tested and yes a negative SoundCheck value will have no effect at low volume settings on an iPod classic 80GB/160GB. Unfortunately that appears to be a hardware/firmware limitation of the device. I don't know if the newer 120GB is also affected.

Thank you very much for checking, I also checked further, and yes, it has nothing to do with idop, it's the firmware and SC logic.

As to that Apple solution — I thought it was a terribly rude joke when I first seen it a while ago.

» Problem: the min volume too high
« Solution: do not listen

If not your plugin, I would think of ipod as one of the most irritating buys in my life, with iTunes being the major mental shock.

Is there a way to sync ringtones (I believe they are .m4r files) using foo_dop?  I never really used custom ringtones before, but I found a good one and it doesn't look like foo_dop can sync it, is it because foobar2000 can't read it?

Version 0.6.5.2 released. Details in changelog.

This should be a fair bit faster at writing the SQLite database (iPhone/iPod touch).

It should also now resample/convert anything with a sample rate above 48kHz.

Nice job! It is much faster now when synchronizing my iPhone and the video thumbnails are there as well.

Thanks!

Hmm, I didn't even know that extension existed. Yes it needs to be recognised in foobar2000 as well as having support for it in foo_dop. (Some kind of redirector input may be possible to redirect it to the standard mp4 input, but if that safely works it would be a last resort..)

(v.0.6.5.0) I'm seeing a small visual glitch randomly on Load Library: the Checking files for changes...  dialog freezes on full progress, and disappears only if the foobar window gets focus. I cannot find any regularity, but it is not connection or db corruption related. I blame it on my lib (27k), just because I like you too much to blame.

Anyway, it's great to see you building, I have few suggestions:

— Full Sync command (source = foobar db)
— Option to suppress Checking & Waiting dialogs
— Option for Quiet Eject (pop up only on error, iPod shows the status itself)

Which would allow a 2 clicks routine for full quiet sync without wrong source accidents in Quiet mode .

I'm having problems syncing my iPhone, I just did the security update to 3.0.1...

I was getting an error after it synced.  I forgot to write the error down and it'll be a while until I get home from work to reproduce the error (or hopefully not).  Regardless, the iPhone shows up in itunes having no music on it and I could confirm this with explorer as well.  Foo_dop also threw errors when it was done but it worked on synchronizing and converting for a while (I was syncing 1336 songs).
This happened to me twice, both times everything looked fine while it was syncing.

Once you have the error let me know (also check if there are any additional errors in the console). I wouldn't assume it is related to 3.0.1. Did you update foo_dop to 0.6.5.2 as it may be related to that?

Hi,

If it is the 'Load library' command than it doesn't do much at "Checking files for changes..." and should be quite quick if you even see it (other commands will do lots of I/O at that stage though and will take time, if it is a different command then some I/O operation may be hanging).

If it is really stuck, one thing you could do is open Task Manager, right click foobar2000.exe and click 'Create Dump File'. The resultant file should compress well using 7-Zip and you could email it to me at the address on my site. I can take a look at that then and see if I can work out what was happening at the point it was made..

I am fully updated to 0.6.5.2, that may be the problem as I didn't have this issue with 0.6.5.1 or 0.6.5.0

I tried it again.  I downgraded to 0.6.5.1 and did a sync and then stopped it.  That was ok and it synced a few songs, when I did a full sync I got this error:
Error writing iTunesDB file : I/O Error: AFCFileInfoOpen
returned: 3 Path was:
/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesCDB.dop.backup

I did get 2 texts while it was syncing, could this be a problem though?

Also, the songs from the previous quick sync are still on the iPhone, but nothing else.

Hello, musicmusic, I've been carefully following the discussion here for some time. Now that I've actually had the time to get sat down with my iPhone 3G and get it working the way I want I decided to try the foo_dop plugin.

When I connect though, foobar doesn't seem to recognize the iPhone and just outputs this message in the debug window:

iPod manager: Listening for Apple mobile devices.
Audioscrobbler: Handshake successful.
iPod manager: Connected to Apple Mobile Device (DID: 2, PID: 1292, UID: 37fb774d9bea0b4db33730b85dbe8bec5f3338b2)
iPod manager: USB AMD enumerator: No devices found!
iPod manager: error: Could not locate matching USB device for Apple Mobile Device!


Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?'

Edit: It is probably worth noting that my phone is jailbroken and I used a non-freed version of iPhone and had no problems.

Can you try running 'Rewrite database' which should trigger the error, and then check if /iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesCDB.dop.backup exists (using some other software to browse if you need to), and if it doesn't exist put a dummy file there and run 'Rewrite database' to see if that makes any difference/triggers a different error?

The error code may also be indicating some kind of filesystem problem, in which case a restore might be worth trying..

Though your link would have helped, I solved my problem in a rather circuitous route on my own.

All is well that ends well anyway,

Cheers.

What software would you recommend for browsing the iPhone on Windows?  Is there a way of doing this without jailbreaking?

[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

Hi,

Yes it is possible without jailbreaking (that's how the component and iTunes works).

It is difficult for me to recommend anything - if there was some kind of shell for foobar2000 to browse files that way I would recommend that. I might cobble something simple together at some point.

I know someone else used iPhoneExplorer. A long time ago someone used Manzana - no idea if that is still working..

Using anything like those might fall apart though depending on how good their error reporting is. My suspicion is that that file is present but something is wrong with it at the filesystem level. If it is present, if you are able to delete it that might sort it.

You could try adding the file to a playlist in foobar2000, via 'File/Add location' and seeing what happens. You would put "applemobiledevice://<UID from console>:/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesCDB.dop.backup" (without quotes) as the path. (Alternatively you could adapt the path of a song on the device). Then if it adds, try using the delete file command on it (and check the console). You could then try changing the filename from iTunesCDB.dop.backup to something that definitely doesn't exist and comparing the results when you try the delete file command on that.

Edit: I found the proper meanings of the error codes. The meaning of code 3 seems to be "No resources are available for the requested operation". Make of it what you will....
