I have a current library on my iPod, with iTunes Soundcheck calculation in the files. Is there anyway I can convert the files and iTunesDB with the RG values in the files instead?

how can i tag my music to be displayed as compilations on my ipod?

i tried tagging %compliation% to '1'


bump

anybody?
foo_dop doesn't mark anything as "part of a compilation" currently. I don't think I can base it of ALBUM ARTIST since e.g. greatest hits is a compilation. So I will add support for it, but not sure how yet.

Hey musicmusic, thanks for your advice. I am using fb2k v0.9.4.2 with MP3 preferred writing scheme set to ID3v2, writer "compatibility mode" is on (for iTunes). The tag name is "UNSYNCED LYRICS" (for MP3 files). The problem is related only to the songs that are already on the ipod. The ipod will start showing the tags, but only after the lyrics was read by iTunes once. It seems to me like iTunes changes the database record for the title to indicate the presence of the tag. Also the tags are perfectly displayed in all songs if they are added through iTunes. 
  I think I need something that would rescan the ipod database from files. I thought that foo_dop should do that? I've tried using "Reload ipod library metadata from files", but as I said no luck.
What version of foo_dop are you using?

I was just wondering if it would be possible to get tracks to show up under more than one genre in the ipod database. I don't the format of the ipod database, so I'm not sure if a song can only be classified under one genre. If not, could you try to have foo_dop recognize when there are mutliple genre tags? Same question for artist and composer.
I don't believe it is actually possible (in that the iPod or iTunes wouldn't expect to see that in a database)

foo_dop should by default just concatenate the multiple values (comma separated).

  Foobar shows that I am using foo_dop version "0.3.8 TEST".

Hey.. great plugin. Glad to be less reliant on itunes.... though I may have missed something, how do you "eject" your ipod after you're done transfering songs?  I plug it in, and the screen tells me "do not disconnect" I upload songs, then I open itunes and press the eject button.  It'd be nice to skip that last step.

Thanks!

So long iTunes, I hardly knew ye...

Use windows "Safe removal" feature from systray.

In fact "ejection" is merely unmounting (or removing disk letter/ntfs folder association), to prevent iPod usage when disconnecting. Safe removal makes the same + disconnects the device.

"Safe removal" is ok, but I'd love to see an "Eject iPod" in the iPod menu. But perhaps it will be implemented in the future.

Your welcome

Now to anyone who wants Shuffle support, I wouldn't mind a backup of the iTunes\iPod_Control folder of a Shuffle that has only been used with iTunes (it should compress well with 7-Zip). Thanks!

I'm not sure you understood what I meant..


Why? I understood it quite well 
And also I've tried the announced test version with my iPod Shuffle and it works! Its functionality is limited as its said to be, but all implemented things work just fine. Thank you! I'm looking forward to upcoming things.

Does anyone know if this causes any problems if used with Anapod Explorer?  (I know that iTunes and Anapod Explorer have problems when one is used after the other.)

Thanks.

i guess it's best to stick with ONE program

i know my shuffle messes up when i use itunes and winamp... so i only use itunes to update/restore and use winamp to upload music

Previously having used Anapod didn't cause any problems when I switched to foo_dop, but subsequently with my iPod prepped from a blank state with foo_dop Anapod doesn't recognise the iPod.

Can I use this to organize my albums by year on the iPod, like you can with foo_pod?

You can remap the composer field to date, and browse the ipod by date.  I dunno how it was before because foo_pod was before my time.

Unfortunately I get a crash since updating to this version...


EDIT: I think my foobar2000 installation has managed to become corrupt somehow... it doesn't seem to be the plugin that is causing the crash, not sure though. ICK

I was planning to work on gapless support for MP3s for next version. MP4s maybe more difficult.

There has also been a bug where files transcoded by foo_dop may not play until the end of the track on the iPod. It is fixed for next version, I think a "relead iPod library info.." should clear it up for now.

Had a quick test last night, it works fine    Now i just have to find a command line converter. Any1 know one?

I know of ffmpeg. I will play around with it when I get some time and put info on wiki if I get some decent results. But note foo_dop doesn't transcode videos.

Don't expect you to add a transcoder sure it would be a lot of hard work. Would be nice if some1 can find a Command line converter to use with foo_run tho. Had a quick look at handbrake think it will do the trick, im just a bit busy to play with it now. thanks for all the hard work

musicmusic, is there any way to access the plugins commands from a batch file? ie send to iPod? i'm hoping similar to stop eg foobar.exe command/stop

i got the command line converter working with foo_run using ffmpeg (thanks for the heads up musicmusic) if any1 interested:

C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -vcodec xvid -b 350  -qmax 10 -bufsize 4096 -g 300 -acodec aac -ab 96  -i "%path%" -s 320x240 -aspect 4:3 H:\%filename%.mp4

b = bitrate
i = file to be converted
s = resolution
ab = audio bitrate (i think)

Its been requested before and is in the to do list.

Would you be so kind and publish some sort of such a "to do" and "done" list?
