[request] foo_pod for non-iPod mp3 players

Is there a foobar plugin for general mp3 players and not just for iPod?

My drive shows up as a regular drive in Windows and there's two things I really want to do with foobar.

1.  Easily send a selection of songs or a playlist to a designated folder on the mp3 player.

2.  A shuffle-like auto-fill feature.  Something that just auto-fills from the database.  Maybe have a filter to exclude instrumental tracks or songs with certain metatags (lowly rated songs) but just a simple auto-fill from database is nice enough.

I've tried searching the forums and Google but it seems like there isn't a plugin for the non-iPod mp3 player yet.  Can anyone help?

Welcome to hydrogenaudio.
We have the "move/remame or COPY file" command, with "create subdirectory according to / and \ characters".

But I agree, a more configurable and flexible plugin will be handy!

This is already possible with foo_playlisttree by cwbowron. He has done a great job!

Maybe, but I need a realy more simple utilities: simply select tracks -> right click -> send to a drive or folder, generating subfolders according to a tagz formatting string.
A copy command with some presets, from right click, like foo_quiktag.
Nobody will set up a foo_quickcopy? I tink it's not hard, but I'm not able to write code.

This is already possible with the masstagger. For example, I use this copy string:
Code: [Select]
$if(%artist%,$ifgreater($substr(%artist%,1,1),0,'#',$if($stricmp($substr(%artist%,1,4),'the '),$substr(%artist%,5,5),$substr(%artist%,1,1))),'U')/
$if(%artist%,$if($stricmp($substr(%artist%,1,4),'the '),$substr(%artist%,5,$len(%artist%)),%artist%),'Unknown Artist')/
$if($stricmp($substr($directory(%_path%,2),1,7),'Various'),'Various',$if(%__replaygain_album_gain%,$if(%tracknumber%,'('$if2(%date%,'????')') '%album%,'Various'),'Various'))/
$if($stricmp($substr($directory(%_path%,2),1,7),'Various'),%title%-%artist%,$if(%__replaygain_album_gain%,$if(%tracknumber%,$ifgreater(2,$len(%tracknumber%),'0'%tracknumber%,%tracknumber%)-%title%,%title%-%artist%),%title%-%artist%))
to transfer files to my iAudio M3L.

Something that keeps track of what's on the player vs. what's on the harddrive would be nice I suppose...

Thanks for the suggestions.  For now, I'm trying foo_playlist_tree (can't get the randomisation part working though) but I agree it's a bit overkill for the job.

No idea how to use that masstagger string to copy n MB of randomly selected songs to the mp3 drive though.
