Thanks for this plugin, musicmusic, it really makes my life easier with foobar200+ iPod. I have iPod classic 80Gb, and plugin works awesome. I don't care for not seening artwork previews in menus, as soon as have Artwork as Covers even in COverFlow ;-)
And it transfers my ratings as well to iPod!
Keep up the good work, thanks again

I just got my iPod Nano 3rd Generation with 8GB and was willing to at least try iTunes. I expected it to be a little easier. It just wouldn't do what I wanted. foo_pod, however, worked fine. Thanks for the Plugin. 
You are welcome, but foo_pod is (was..) a different component

Not sure I understood all of that, but you are also welcome  Artwork previews in menus is implemented for next build anyway

BTW in regard to the latter, it will be for new tracks only. Apple made some changes to artwork handling (sparse artwork as they call it).

Just to add to the known Classic/Nano issues, it seems that music fails to play when it should for songs added by foo_dop in the (fairly ridiculous) Music Quiz 2 in the iPod Quiz game. I'm looking into it..

I want to start using this as iTunes is getting very annoying and I'm becoming hesitant in syncing my iPod. Only thing is, I've got 2 questions: can I export the checked playlist from iTunes -> Foobar so that I can quickly get the same music that I would've had on my iPod when I used iTunes as I have on foobar. Also, if I use the 'move, copy or rename' function in f2k (particularly the move & rename) will it recognise that I've moved the files and let them stay in the playlists that they are in, even though I've moved the files, or do I have to move/rename every album and then add it to the playlist that it used to be in?

Is there a way to trick the iPod to see two Genres instead of one since I have it set as a Multivalue Field? So "Metal, Folk Metal" will get put into both "Metal" and "Folk Metal" Genres instead of creating a new Genre called "Metal, Folk Metal"? Thanks, Martin.

1. If there is some way to export your playlist in iTunes into a foobar2000 compatible format then yes.
2. The "Move..." action will update all your foobar2000 playlists, yes. So if you are just using the sync function you should be OK.

No, the iPod doesn't support that. Only way is two copies of the track.

That can be solved by simply dragging, like in Explorer, no? You'd be able to move contents from an iTunes playlist into a new playlist in Foobar.

Is there any progress in the area of statistics synchronizing? Only tiny little lack keeping me on the iTunes side.

Oh, ok thanks for the answer. Might not be worth to keep retagging stuff with more than one Genre then, might as well make Playlists instead.

Probably you are right  I didn't try..

Sorry, no. You mean syncing play stats from iPod back to local library?

Doing that to the file's embedded metadata is problematic: it would cause the file to be updated (copied again) on iPod at next sync. So I would prefer to do that to a local database - as I recall official foo_playcount uses such a database by default but I don't think it has an API so I can update it myself.

Well if you want multiple values for genre outside of the iPod, and if the order multiple values are specified in the track property dialog is the same order as you access them in the $meta(name,n) function then you could put the primary/preferred genre first and use a remapping in foo_dop for genre (something like "$meta(genre,0)") so the genre menu on the iPod is not messed up. If they don't use the same order it won't work, something you can look into if you wish

0.4.8 TEST 0.4.9 TEST released, see changelog for details.

Didn't manage to find cause of quiz problem on classics/nano 3gs so that remains broken.

I am also looking into some weird occurrences with playlists on my Classic.

The iTunes -> F2k drag and drop works. I made a smart playlist in iTunes for checked things, selected all and dragged the selected things into a new playlist in the F2K window.

very nice update

and the new version works great for my 4G
but I really miss the option to ignore the "The"  in the artist tag

perhaps you can include again, if not, V0.4.5 works great too :/

It will come back. The problem is with the 5G - it's a complete mess there (with regards to the scroll by letter thing). With the 6G they added some stuff to make it work properly with the scroll by letter thing. So I will add it but disable it for the 5G and probably Nano 2G as I don't know if it works properly there.

I´ve just tested with an iPod Shuffle 2nd gen, works like a charm.
The song order is preserved, I didn´t notice any changes... not sure if the wiki documentation isn´t updated or if it has to do with the latest version.

cheers!

Yeah, I was having some major problems with the scroll by letter on my 5.5g. It actually screwed over my good itunes db (which I'll have to rebuild with ratings, etc.; no worries, though.), because albums kept saying "t,s,t,s,t,s,t,u" when it showed the letter overlay.

In any case, thanks for the hard work, musicmusic

I would love for you to implement the ability to convert ReplayGain to SoundCheck (SoundCheck is terrible  ).  It's not critical, but something nice to have. 

Oh I see you have implemented this, how does one go about this?

Hi, well you didn't really need to start over, you could have just disabled the option and used the rewrite database action.

Are you using smart playlists? I've seen:
-The contents of the OTG playlist being replaced with a smart playlist (and without the clear playlist etc. items). You can get that working again by opening and closing iTunes.
-Other playlists getting the wrong contents. Only saw that once or so a while ago so not sure on the story there.

It's automatic (apart from songs converted automatically).

Hi,
The problem is fixed for 0.5.0 which I will upload shortly. However, to completely get rid of the problem a correction needs to be made to any existing playlists. Opening and closing iTunes usually does that, otherwise you will have to remove all the playlists from your iPod and send them again.

Sorry the iPod Touch is not supported. I'll update the web page to make that clearer.

The lack of disk mode on the iPod Touch is the main problem  That quote was written when 'Manually manage music […]' forced disk mode to be enabled as well (now only true for models with a disk mode).

  I removed my old playlists and it's working perfectly.  Thanks!

Well, I've recently fallen head over heels in love with my new 3 rd Generation iPod Nano.  I was resisting for years because I just loathe iTunes.  Finally sighed and decided I loved the iPod more than I hated iTunes.

Then I found this plugin.  I am so very happy.  And the plugin works perfectly for the music on my iPod.

But since I have walked out on iTunes, I can no longer copy my mp4 based videos to my iPod without using iTunes itself, and syncing with iTunes seems to require erasing everything that foo-dop puts onto it.

Is there a way to copy these videos without using iTunes?

When I simply add it to a foobar playlist and update using this plugin all I get is the audio from the video.  I know these are iPod mp4 files, they copied over just fine in iTunes.

Are there any options besides going back to iTunes?

Is there any way to implement support for breaking up flac+cue images into single files in the transcoder? foo_pod had this, and atm, that is the only feature keeping me using itunes along with a duplicate media library, and i really do not like that setup.

This is supposed to work. What created the MP4 files? Do they show up on the audio or video list on the iPod? Do you have a sample file? (You haven't disabled the option on the advanced pref page right?)
