Scrobbing iPods using the Last.FM application requires an iTunes installation and requires your iPod be automatically managed by iTunes. No thanks...

I'll send the data you requested after work, musicmusic...

I have no iTunes and everything goes ok. What am I doing wrong?

Now I'm confused. I'm plugging my iPod and that's all 0.o

I would be very pleased if album arts which don't have a proportion of 160x160 pixel (which are not quadratic) were filled up with transparent or white pixels (center).

I'm looking forward to hearing from the developer.

Can the give me an example of the source filename and what foo_dop named the file (exactly) as seen when you do a load library and go to properties of the problem track? Also, a list of the other filenames in the destination dir on the iPod would be helpful. I couldn't reproduce anything like this.


Source filenames
File Names : 01 - A Necessary End.mp3, 02 - Giving In.mp3, 03 - Remember Me_.mp3, 04 - A Simple Test.mp3, 05 - A Hair On The Head Of John The Baptist.mp3

Destination filenames (Properties doesn't open due to the following error)
Could not load info (Unsupported file format) from:
"F:\iPod_Control\Music\F15\(0)."
Could not load info (Unsupported file format) from:
"F:\iPod_Control\Music\F31\(0)."
Could not load info (Unsupported file format) from:
"F:\iPod_Control\Music\F63\(0)."
Could not load info (Unsupported file format) from:
"F:\iPod_Control\Music\F79\(0)."
Could not load info (Unsupported file format) from:
"F:\iPod_Control\Music\F87\(0)."

Does this only affect some files and can you reliably reproduce this? If so I will make a version with some debug output to find out wtf is going on..

It actually occurs on ALL music I import to my classic.
Tried and Tested on two machines. My XP x86 laptop and my XP x64 desktop. Both have the same results.

And yes, I can VERY reliably reproduce this since I have yet to transfer a working file to my iPod.

Please note that the files are totally unreadable. Attempting to delete or copy the file in explorer results in a file not found error.

Hmm I just sent you a message

It seems like at some point it is losing the filename, though why is the question. BTW: the "number of extra filename characters" settings on the advanced prefs page/tools/ipod manager is at the default value of 4, correct?

BTW if you want to get rid of these files, using 'file/ipod/load library' in foobar2000 then 'ipod/remove from ipod' in the context menu should work.

Thanks for the log.

Basically, it is what I suspected: the codepage conversion from utf-8 to ascii of the filename is failing and instead blanking out the filename. The actual conversion code is part of the foobar2000 SDK, but that uses Win32 API.

What operating system are you running? I will send you another version in a bit with that code on my side and some debug logging.

Fixed it.
Since you mentioned codepages, I decided to drop by my Regional and Language options. Went to the advanced tab and noticed US-ASCII was un-ticked. Upon ticking and applying then transferring some music across...My music is now stored correctly and plays..

Yay!
Strange how both my computers has both them disabled...

Thanks for your help.

[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

OK... Indeed, that is the used code page..

It is slightly annoying that it is possible to remove that codepage and break the conversion 

I guess I will just call the relevant Win32 API directly so I can add some error checking.

In any case, thanks for tracking that down, glad it works now

Is there a way to get this to work on an ipod (video 5g) running Rockbox?

Is there a reason to use iTunesDB support component with Rockbox? foo_fileops is enough.

I've just made the jump to foobar and rockbox (from itunes), so I'm a little slow.  thanks!

I have the latest plugin installed.  I can't seem to find the "Ignore leading The when sorting" option.  All my 'The' artists are grouped together  (they were fine until I started using foo_dop  ).

Edit:  Nevermind, I see that it has been taken out.  I don't suppose there is any way to change it back to the old sorting scheme?

Hi, I just bought an iPod Classic, and I'd really like to be able to use only foobar to manage all my music. So here are some questions that I had in regards to using dop_pod. Thanks!

1) I really don't want to use iTunes, so I'm assuming I'll be working with dop_pod. How do I transfer my ratings over? I've used the 2nd gen iPods with dop_pod, but my ratings were not transfer over when I transfered the music.
2) I use autoplaylist with my ratings, so that I have different playlists based on my ratings. Let's say all of my slow songs are 5 stars, and there's a "slow songs" playlist that I transfer to my iPod. If I rate a song on the iPod with 5 stars, will the song be added to the "slow songs" playlist automatically on the iPod?
3) Let's say that I rate certain songs with my iPod, is it possible to transfer the ratings of the songs onto my computer?
4) When I used my 2nd iPod with foobar, I couldn't make use of the "album artist" tag. If I had a soundtrack, the songs would be listed under each individual artist. I'd like it to have the album under the album artist, and then the songs under the album. That way all I don't have a bunch of artists with only one song.

You mean the songs under the track artist.

I'm pretty sure db78 means Album Artist.

This is a slight annoyance I have with my ipod as well. I tag for instance soundtracks with an Album artist as 'soundtracks'. i think it would be nice to have 'soundtracks' show up under artist view, instead of each song showing up under each artist (where you end up with a bunch of artists with one track).

its not a huge deal to me but it is something i wonder about.

Yeah, I do mean Album Artist. I know I can use iTunes and check it under as Compilation, but I'd like ot be able to make use of the Album Artist tag, rather than just have all soundtracks list under Compilation.

Hi,
Yes the option will return, should be in next version.

1. The ratings are transferred to your ipod via the RATING field with values from 0-5.
2. No. You need to create a live 'Smart Playlist' on your iPod. But, bear in mind ratings are not transferred back to your local files currently.
3. See 2.
4. See below.
5. dop_pod !? How did you come up with that...

I will add a mapping for compilation most likely for next version.

I'd really like a mapping for ratings. I use a 1-10 scale in foobar, so itd be nice if I could convert this before sending it to the ipod.
