musicmusic, I am back again with my lyrics problem 
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3228/imag0038s.jpg

^that is the icon it shows on every file when trying to view lyrics except one`s I got after I reported my problem, they are showing lyrics just fine.
So it is something on my tags, must be. Lyrics are on %unsynced lyrics%, I can`t figure what`s the problem + I haven`t got any of my new files to show that icon.. :I

It may be something to do with the layout of the tag then. Some frame it doesn't like [before the lyrics frame], large embedded image, multiple ID3v2 tags , who knows.

You will either have to experiment a bit, or if you send me a file I'll have a look if there's anything obvious to me.

musicmusic, I copied my file which showed that icon and removed all tags and added UNSYNCED LYRICS field and pasted lyrics from original in there and it started to work. Now I need to figure out how to do this without deleting every tag =D I could send you a mp3 file if you want or have a hunch what might be wrong.

edit: second time I just deleted unsynced lyrics field and added it again and then pasted lyrics and it works in ipod. I just delete and add them again, easy and quick ^^

Using foo_dop 0.6.4.1 and ipod touch 2G
Sorry, was reported before also. I'll try a fix in next version, thanks.

When I go to view songs on my Touch (1st gen, jailbroken, latest firmware) and go to V or W they are messed up.
First you can see V, okay. then W, okay, but when I scroll down the list I see V again and W again and again.
There must be something about the song titles that is tripping it up - what is the title of the first W entry and the first V entry (in the second V list). Or just take some screenshots which I think also works on the iPod touch.

musicmusic,  first let me say that this component is awesome and is totally essential for me.  Many thanks for developing it! 

Currently I have version 0.6.2.6 and am trying to find the latest version, but all links I have found point to a page that isn't there anymore (or at least I can't seem to get to it). Would someone please point me in the right direction as I would really like the upgrade.

Thanks in advance!

Version 0.6.4.2 released.

About the 3G Shuffle
It uses a new database file format of which I need to work out the all the details of before I can add support. I need the following things to help add support:
-A device instance path of one. This would be printed in the foobar2000 console when connecting one.
-The XML Property List of one. This can be obtained by Holding Shift and clicking File/iPod/Raw property list.
-Example database files (archive the iPod_Control\iTunes folder).

They should probably be sent privately (PM/e-mail..)

According to http://yuo.be/wiki/dop:changelog I see that you fixed the track number/disc number bug.  I just tried it out, and it correctly added the song I was missing.  Thanks!

This is going to sound like a silly question but how do I use this properly?

I'm using it for my iPhone and I still use iTunes to sync podcasts and applications to it.

I only want to manager my music with this and sync playback stats back to foobar from the iPhone.

So whats the best way of doing this? I know that Load Library loads whatever is on the device, what does Rewrite Database do? Does Synchronise remove podcasts and audobooks from the device?

Can I send photos to my iPod with this component? I just tried and it didn't work, but really hope it can support photos in the future as I've long abandoned iTunes since I found this great tool.

After installing foo_dop (0.6.4.1) on foobar2000 (0.9.6.4) using an 80GB iPod Classic (6G), Songs are no longer sent to my "Recently Played" playlist on the iPod, and therefore are not seen by foo_audioscrobbler (1.3.16) so they remain unscrobbled. How can I fix this, either by fixing the playlist or through some alternative method?

Now when you synchronise, it includes play counts / times. Either you do not have the latest version of the official playback statistics component, you are using a 3rd party playback statistics component, or your files have static playback metadata which never updates. If you are using a playback stats component, updating to the latest official playback statistics that should sort that out. If you have it already, and have it set to update stats to files, try foo_dop 0.6.4.2.

None of this should directly have anything to do with foo_audioscrobbler scrobbling your iPod plays, are you sure that's not working? I think it should display some messages in the console when it does so.

I do the same thing: synching podcasts (i have no audio books) whith Itunes and music whith foo_pod. I deactivated in itunes the synchronisation of music  and automatic synchronisation when ipod is plugged in to prevent foobar and itunes simultaneously writing to my Ipod (but perhaps this would't cause any problems - didn't try). I activated "set dummy gapless data..." in foo_pod settings to prevent itunes from touching my files. This works flawless for me.

I would be interested too in when I have to do a "load library" and then "update metadata" or when a "rewrite database" is sufficient. What exactly is the difference between those functions? When I change my mp3-tags in foobar a "rewrite database" nor a "update metadata" won't change them on my Ipod.

1.: Is it possible to sort the albums of an artist by %date% on my ipod instead of the alphabetical order?
2.: When I have a compilation named "A" and there are solo-albums on my ipod of one artist also residing on this compilation, I have a album "A" under this artist containing only the songs from this artist on compilation "A". (Is this comprehensible?  ) Can I avoid this somehow?

1. Currently modifying Album Sort tag on iPod is impossible, but you can just change Album tag mapping: Tools » iPod Manager » Database, and set Album value to "[%date% - ]%album%".
2. In the same place set Compilation value to "$if($meta(album artist),1,)" (assuming Album Artist tag is present in your compilation).

Thanks for your answer I'm a little bit late whith mine 
1. Great! Even better than just sorting albums chronologically! 
2. This didn´t work for me. Problem persists.  I would like to have:
Artist-field: The artist of the individual track
Album-Artist: Various Artists
Album-Title: Title of the compilation

This works in foobar (i use sorting:%date% - %path_sort% - %artist% - %album% - %discnumber% - %tracknumber%), but not on my Ipod as long as I have still another solo-album of one Artist residing on this compilation. Then I have above mentioned problem. Artists on this compilation of which I don't have another solo-album won´t appear as a solo-album titled whith the name of the compilation on my ipod - just the way I want it.

It will remove the audiobooks, but not the podcasts. However, last time I heard was that there is an issue when used on iPhone/iPod touches only where the podcasts would all be reset as 'new' afterwards.

Rewrite database - it's just a way of making the component "touch" the iPod (loads the database, does some maintenance things, and writes it again). You would use it after changing the settings in preferences that mention it, to flush recent plays from the device (e.g. for foo_audioscrobbler) (and even to fix the hash/signature in the database after external/manual editing).

Update metadata is for when you change the remapping settings in preferences, or change the tags of the files directly on the iPod (not on your computer). You need to use it on files on the iPod (i.e. from 'Load library').

Hi,

I would like to know if I can embed subtitles for my video files (.mp4) with Foobar (a %subtitle% tag ?).
If not, does anybody knows any other software ? I would like them to be soft subtitles (that you can turn on or off).

Thanks by advance,
Maxoo.

[EDIT]
I found that but doing it with foobar would be faster and easier.

[EDIT2]
BTW if anyone knows how to use MP4TE, which is basically a program that put .srt into .mp4, help is welcome.

I did not have the official playback statistics component installed. I just installed it and the audioscrobbler component picked up the songs I played, but when I try to eject the iPod now it says "Failed to eject the iPod. Close any applications using the device and try again." I researched this and you said in a previous post that it may be reading the new metadata. So my guess is that it is reading the new playback metadata and will have that metadata cached from here on out. I'll get back to you if the problem persists. I appreciate your help.

Alright, everything is working as it should. But is there any way to make the whole process smoother? Right now, after I plug in my iPod, I have to go to File>iPod>Synchronize... Go through that menu, then open up the preferences, navigate to the audioscrobbler section and click submit. Is there any way so that the scrobbles are automatically sent the moment I plug in my iPod? I appologize if I appear somewhat demanding.

Unfortunately it does mean that something is blocking the ejection of the iPod. Sometimes Windows logs what it was in the Event Log (it could just be an Explorer window). Or if this relates to the automatic eject after synchronise in the latest version, then it may be related to the component.

If you only want to process the plays for scrobbling, you can use 'Rewrite database' instead which is quicker, but it is a manual and not automatic process at the moment. You could add the command to your toolbar though to make accessing it a bit easier. With regards to the foo_audioscrobbler side of things (it caching them only), that is controlled by foo_audioscrobbler I'm afraid.

I like your component very much. But I'm missing a Podcast feature (guess they asked already many times here).
At least, it doesn't need to download all the podcasts but the option to "mark" files as podcast and move them on the iPod would be fine

Greetings

I've got a little problem with my ipod touch 1G 8GB. I'm using foobar 0.9.6.5 beta 2 with foo_dop 0.6.4.2 at the moment.

I can not delete the music on the ipod nor can I do anything else with it but playing it.
I always get the following error:

Code: [Select]
Failed to remove file: I/O Error: AFCRemovePath returned: 10 Path was: /iTunes_Control/Music/F73/Ween - .mp3


It all started with iTunes showing 4GB of miscellaneous stuff. I didn't know what it was but found out that it came from the music files stored with foo_dop.
I tried to remove the files manually with iPodBrowser but then realised that the space was still occupied. So I returned everything from the backup I made. I know that this wasn't the best idea & maybe is the cause for my problem. But I don't know what to do against it.
sometimes it is the best, not to say anything

If that's the path it displayed, the problem seems to be there is a slash missing in it. That path must have ended up in the database somehow. Have you used any other iPod managers at all?

Or was it just a typo?

'Recover orphaned files' may get the working files back into your database, but it won't help with the dead ones.

Is there something preventing you from just restoring your iPod completely?
