Also regarding cover art. I deleted the cover art database from my iPhone because I felt it was unreasonable for it to be over 100MB. I'm not sure why it got so massive, I imagine it was in large part due to large cover art image files on my end. Is it possible that you could add a feature to resize/compress cover art automatically? Foobar2000 can handle a 1MB image file fine, but on the iphone anything more than 320 by 320 is overkill.

Hello, musicmusic. Thanks for keeping the project support. Plugin is becoming better and better!
One note: it appears that podcast support works perfectly only for audiopodcasts. if you mark a videofile as one only audio-steam will be played. if changed to music video or tv show the same file plays without troubles but isn't displayed in podcast menu. can anything be done about this?
It did work when I tested before. It could be that the component isn't correctly detecting the video stream. If you remove the podcast from the device, remove the podcast/media kind fields and resend it, does it show up as a video (movie/film)?

Yes, I have tried that. Bumping the DBVersion makes iPhone unrecognizable to iTunes, since iTunes validates the new hash, and existing DB has older hash.
Good point, I suppose you'd have to get it into first run mode as well. I guess something different happens for upgrades to 4.0 from older versions.

why does beyoncé artist tag disappear from the ipod once it gets transferred? it becomes unknown artist.
it gets truncated, so i have to manually type the artist tag.

also, ke$ha is visible normally in the artist list on the ipod, but it's visible as keha in the now playing screen.

using foobar with foo_dop, both latest versions, latest ipod classic 160, ID3v2.4 tags.

I put up version 0.6.7.5 which should fix read-only iPad support (it should complain if you try and use any "write" commands).

They are stored in various formats specified by the device i.e. not the original files. 100MB might be correct depending on how many tracks with art you had.

Works fine here, send a backup of your iTunesDB and I might be able to tell why.

They could be recovered as Orphaned items. Still wondering about the error. Seems like it can't fetch the artwork, although it's there.

What motherboard do you have, is the device connected to an on-board USB controller? Was there any transcoding in that operation?

It's a laptop, HP EliteBook 8730w. It has worked previously without problems. No transcoding, just transferring.

I got an error the first time I tried to send a lot of files with the same error. When I checked the iPod later, no space were occupied. I performed the same operation now and ensured that the files were not larger than free space on the iPhone and got the same error. However the files were able to be recovered as orphaned items (maybe because I didn't unplug it and/or open the iPod app after sending the files?).

so, just a quick question:

what do i have to do, if i want to copy an ipod? i have a 160GB ipod and a friend of mine has also buyed one. she has still no music on it and she said that she want my whole music, so, what to do? copy&past of the whole folder?

just synchronizing the library with the new iPod wouldnt work, because i have everything in FLAC on my HDD and it took days to fill up my iPod, caused by the conversion.

seeya and thanks once again to musicmusic for this great plugin, otherwise i hadnt buyed an ipod



BUMP! would be nice, if somebody could solve my problem

currently trying out, if its possible to listen to 5.1 albums over an ipod with the help of dolby headphone emulation....lets see ;D

If its the same model, then you could just replace the iPod_Control directory on hers with yours. Afterwards, you must do a "rewrite database" on her iPod to sign the database correctly (disconnect your iPod first). Also, you'll probably then want to rename it using iTunes.

I just realized that foo_dop supports now podcasts  which is really fantastic.

Quote
Added support for sending tracks as podcasts (set either MEDIA KIND or GENRE to Podcast)


However, I realized that the podcast handling on the ipod is not optimal. The main problem is that the ipod (nano 5g here) stops playing after every episode. I listen to a lot of podcast which have episodes of 3-4 minutes and manually advancing is really a pain. I tried adding podcast to a playlist but also being played from the playlist stops after the current episode.

Is there any solution / workaround to this?

Cheers,

Chris

Hello,

Today I upgraded to foobar2000 v1.0.2.1 + foo_dop 0.6.7.5 from 1.0 + 0.6.6.4. Now when I try to send files to my iPod Mini (firmware 1.4.1) I get the following error:

Error writing iTunesDB file : Expected 16 character FireWireGUID. Got: 000000C3A24C

Console output shows:

iPod manager: Device properties:
iPod manager: Apple iPod/iPhone connected. Device Instance Path: USB\VID_05AC&PID_1205\000000C3A24C

I'm running WinXP SP3.

When downgrading to foo_dop 0.6.6.4 again, I don't get the error.

Hope you can fix this!

Kind regards,

Tikke24x

Hey all, I'm just having a bit of trouble with foo_dop and my artwork.

I've gone through and embedded artwork on most of my music using MP3tag, and for some reason none of it is transferring to my iPod.
I would really like to not have to go through and put album art in every folder and name it cover.jpg

Is there a reason my embedded artwork is not transferring?

Thanks in advance!

Continually getting the error:

"Could not locate matching USB device for Apple Mobile Device. Please reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support."

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Apple Mobile Device Support, uninstalled/restart/reinstalled the whole iTunes package. Running Win7 64, can see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" and "Apple iPhone" appear in my "Devices and Printers" window when I plug the device in. It also shows up in iTunes.

foobar Console:
Quote
iPod manager: Connected to Apple Mobile Device.
iPod manager: USB AMD enumerator: No devices found!

Using foobar v1.0.1, foo_dop v0.6.7.6, and iTunes v9.1.0.79

Any thoughts?

Addendum to the above:

Every time I disconnect and reconnect my iPhone, I get the "Could not locate matching USB device for Apple Mobile Device. Please reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support." popping up.

Have you checked "Additionally use foobar2000 built-in artwork reader" on the "iPod Features" configuration page? AFAIK foo_dop itself only looks for artwork files at the file location(s) specified on the same page.
np: 4'33"

I'm not sure if this has been fixed with a newer version, or if it's not possible at all, but when I rate something on my ipod, the rating doesn't transfer over to my foobar library.

also, when I hook up my ipod to sync, it removes then re-adds a certain set of files everytime, making it take longer to sync for no reason.

Finally, a certain album is getting split into like 6 chunks, but they all lead to the same set of songs.

Queens of the Stone Age -> Lullaby (1 song)
Queens of the Stone Age -> Lullaby (3 songs)
Queens of the Stone Age -> Lullaby (2 songs), etc

but when you go to any of those albums, it actually just goes to one with all the songs.

I'm gonna update to see if those issues still persist, but I'm posting just in case

If you are using the official Playback Statistics component, they will do during a sync provided the source file hasn't moved.

If it is always the same files, it is likely you've tagged/modifed them with another application whilst preserving their modified date. Do a reload info in fb2k on the source files to rectify.

Check that the album values are really the same i.e. no extra spaces on some tracks.

just downloaded new foodop 6.7.7 and after i synced it to my touch i noticed all the playlists were rearranged in alphabetical order.

i do not want this.  How do I change it back to how it used to work where the ipod playlist list mirrored my foobar playlist order.

6.7.7 had no effect on sort for me on iPhone. Mine appear in no certain order. I only sync one playlist from foobar and the rest are smart playlists created by foo_dop but my order is defiantly not alphabetical, I think I would prefer alphabetical. Are you sure you didn't do a sync with iTunes? Doing that would make them sorted.
