The next thing that happens is that it enumerates USB devices which may be failing. Did you update iTunes at all in all of this?

I also re-installed iTunes. I am using 7.5. I can transfer songs to the device through iTunes without a problem.

Strange, then. Unfortunately the component doesn't currently log anything if it fails to find the USB device. I was thinking an updated iPod driver, which would come with a newer version of iTunes, unless they put it on Windows Update? Or any changes to your OS?

Other possibility is you are using a different (newer) version of the component and something is broken there - can't see anything wrong, but not sure how many iPod touch/iPhone users remain, so something may have slipped through.

Otherwise, can you post your Device Instance ID/Path for your iPod touch. It should start with USB\VID_05AC&PID_129. To retrieve it, open up Device Manager, switch to "devices by connection" view, locate and expand your USB controllers, there should be an entry called something like Apple iPod, double click it and switch to the details tab, and select Device Instance Path or ID (whichever is there).

I didn't make any OS changes during this time. I guess I'll try some different combinations and see if I can get it to work.

As long as the last part of that matches up (apart from case) with the "serial" posted in the console, that looks good. I will send you a version with more logging shortly.

Good news: I went through and uninstalled iTunes again, and uninstalled "Apple Mobile Device Support" as well. Then I re-installed iTunes (7.5), and when I connected my iPod touch, Windows went through the device detection process as if I had connected it for the first time. And now the plugin works as well.

OK. Not sure what exactly happened then, but I'll keep some of the extra logging in next build anyway.

How are the artwork files named?

I use the synchronize feature. If I used File Operations to rename a song file on my laptop (that was also on my iPod), when I synchronized my iPod would the song get removed and added again, or would it just be added from the new location and the first track end up orphaned or I'd end up with doubles on my iPod...?  (I'm asking because I'm in the process of renaming and retagging my library, and in case it's the latter, I want to prevent a disaster.  )

I'm forced to upgrade from 1.1.4 ipod touch firmaware more and more. It's becoming really obsolete... And this will make me use iTunes... I really do hope someone will decrypt databases soon, because I don't want to use it really...

also, musicmusic, I have another question:
There one feature of iTunes 8, I want to try (no, it's not Genious - i don't care about it at all). How safe is to install it in relation with foo_dop?

It would be nice to have an option for disabling changed modification date checks when using Sync. I have checkbox "Automatically synchronize file tags with statistics" enabled and don't want to disable it.
Also, sometimes when I open "iPod Contents" and click on my iPod, I don't see any files (if I reopen this window, the files are back).
If a single file with both RG values is added to iPod (with "ReplayGain scan converted files" option checked), RG wouldn't convert to SoundCheck.

Great component, even better than iTunes, at least in terms of operation speed and convenience, however I still haven't figured out how to update the tags of files in my iPod, right now I have to remove the files and re-send the files with updated tags, already tried the "Update the metadata on iPod" function but it didn't work. Can you cast a light on that? Thanks:)

Aha, I've just worked it out, not sure if it's the best way, please correct me if not. Thanks! 

Load iPod library on foobar -> change some tags -> use "Update the metadata on iPod"

As the latest fb2k version, 0.9.6, automatically keeps track of content inside of media library folders, is it still necessary for foo_dop to scan the folders itself every time it synchronizes an iPod?

If you retag, the old file will be removed and the new one copied. If you only rename, nothing will happen.

I understand and wouldn't blame you if you updated. If you didn't notice MediaMonkey people came up with a solution: they didn't reverse engineer the algorithm, but instead seem to have ripped the parts of iTunes.exe that calculate it and shoved them into a separate binary. It's messy. I would re-use this but still need to reverse this approach anyway (and I would not distribute that dodgy file myself).

Have not encountered any interoperability problems with my classic, but I don't know about iPod touch/iPhone. I don't think there should be any problems.

It doesn't scan the folders, it just checks if any of the files have been modified, because it requires a correct modified date and some other stuff to function correctly. It does that on any file you decide to send; it doesn't take an unreasonable time here so I don't know if your library is huge or your hard drive is slow or.... Anyway I can't really answer 0.9.6 questions fully until SDK and possibly final version are released.

Ok sure... probably because of a large library

I have one more question, just wonder if the component able to snyc files on iPod with original files on foobar, for instance, if I rate a song 4 stars on iPod, can I have the same song on my hard disk rated with 4 stars through sync.? Any suggestions will be appreciated!

This is an awesome component.


I bought a 120gb Ipod Classic the other day and DOP saved my ass from itunes (except that I had to install itunes to do a restore on the Ipod because unsurprisingly, it came with a software bug out of the box, go go apple QC), so this gets my personal thumbs up.


Win stuff.

This would be a big help.  I want to have my albums sort by the release date, not alphabetically.

In the mean time, here's what I have done to get my albums sorting by the date, rather than alphabetically - And by this I should point out that I don't ever browse my collection by "albums" but rather by the artist.

In the iPod Manager preferences page, under Database, I edited the "Album" line to look like this:

'('%date%')' - %album%

Which apparently alters the metadata going up on the iPod so that the album title includes the date first. 

1968 - Led Zeppelin
1969 - Led Zeppelin II

Is there a way to access the artwork for music that was loaded to my iPod with foo_dop?  Some of the music on my iPod were uploaded using iTunes and those have the art embedded. The rest were uploaded using foo_dop without embedded art.  I can get the embedded artwork out just fine, but the rest of the album covers are a mystery.

Can someone confirm that it's not possible to send tracks to the iPod if they're stored on the iPod hard-drive?

(I use my iPod as a USB drive also, and save MP3's on to it and play them from there in foobar2000. When I have them tagged properly and want to add them to my iPod database, it doesn't work)
