0.6.8.7 released, I've made some improvements to the progress dialogs (though let me know if I managed to break anything..)

I would like to correct my statement.. I am not able to use iTunes to sync Apps and Podcasts after I have synced music to iPhone using fb2k.  If I try to do so, it wipes off all my music on the phone, then I need to recopy all the music from fb2k to iPhone.. it's a long process!!...
Well, sounds like you didn't enable 'manually manage music and videos' in iTunes.

As for your ratings problem, you need to install and use the playback statistics component. The two minutes thing was fixed a long time ago, anyway.



That was magical! Thanks, now my ratings are syncing.. just one thing...

I am still not able to sync apps and podcasts in iTunes without wiping off all my foobar-synced music.

Forgive my ignorance.  I have googled a lot, that's how I came to this forum, even tried searching the forum, but it's not helping.

I guess I figured it out.  I had set manual management of music. But I also need to keep the iTunes and foobar library equally populated.  Is that correct?

If I added some song to the foobar library, synced that song to my phone, then if I forgot to add that song to the iTunes library too, and then if I synced the apps and all, iTunes will remove the songs from the phone which it doesn't find in its library.

So the solution is to just keep the iTunes and foobar library in sync all the time, correct?

Thank you musicmusic for all the help!

OK, version 0.6.8.5 released.

For nano 6G support you need to get an updated iPhoneCalc.dll from the current version of MediaMonkey (3.2.3.1303). Copy it to your foobar2000 directory.

I need more feedback on nano 6G support so please let me know how you get on.

Thanks


I just got my first iPod ever as a gift (I am not sure if I should admit this or not here, but I have never been a fan of Apple, so I never bought one for myself, but secretly I am excited to have it!)  It is the Nano 6G and I see that is is supported, but need the iPhoneCalc.dll installed to use it.  Is there a place to get the most recent version of this without installing MediaMonkey?  I saw that there was a link to download it here (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=45160&view=findpost&p=724469), but that seems to be from version 3.2.3.1300 and I don't think that works with the 6G... at least it does not for me as I get an error message that says I need iPhoneCalc.dll for my device.

As a note, I do have foobar installed as portable, so I am not sue if that is what the problem is, but I assume it should work as long as iPhoneCalc.dll is in the root foobar2000 directory.

Thanks for this, and what I think is going to be an awesome component (since I still don't really like Apple, I can avoid installing iTunes on my PC!!)


Well... I guess I had to install iTunes to set the iPod up in the first place (more reason to hate apple... I had to register my name, phone, and give them a credit card number just to get the iPod to work!).  Anyway, it is working now. 

Also, I had to install (and then uninstall Media Monkey to get the correct iPhoneCalc.dll file.  For other peoples convenience though, I have uploaded the file so others can download it without having to install Media Monkey.  The file is here : iPhoneCalc.

I like the new dialogs, but they steal focus too often.
Sound be fixed in 0.6.8.8.

That is not correct. If 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked, also check that 'Sync music', 'Sync TV programmes', 'Sync films' and 'Sync ringtones' (or their equivalents) are unticked.

Hi musicmusic,

I have a question about ratings and where they are stored in the database.
I like to see the rating of the current playing song.
In foobar2000, it is easy as I can set the main window title script to [%rating%* %title% - %artist% - %album% ] - foobar2000

I tried doing the same for my iPhone by remapping Title to [%title% - ][%rating%*]

But that did not work as I expected.

In fb2k, %rating% fetches value from the rating I set using the playback stats component.
In iPhone, %rating% fetches value of the manually inserted RATING field in the MP3 tag.
If I delete the manually inserted RATING field (which I had inserted in the first place before finding out about playback stats component), then I get 'blank'.

Example:
If %title% is xyz and the rating I have set using playback stats is 4, and if there is no RATING field in mp3 tag, then
-- in fb2k, I see 4* - xyz - ........ (exactly as I want)
-- in iPhone, I see xyz - (the rating is not being fetched, but I do see 4 stars for that song on the phone)

Summary of the question:
How do I remap the Title field to see the rating next to the title?

Thanks.

Thank you.  I probably had Sync Ringtones ON and that wiped off the music.
Now I simply dragged the ringtones to iPhone as I have manual management on.

So now the ringtones, podcasts and apps sync well in iTunes and music syncs with fb2k.

I am happy

I still have that ratings question that I mentioned in my previous post.

Thanks again!

Hi,
The short answer is you can't/it won't work as you have already discovered. I don't know how feasible it is to change it, but I'll have a look.

I wonder how can we change the background of foo_pod. I successfully embedded it to my foobar, however the white background looks really annoy.

Any idea?

Bumpppp...anyone can help?


I've asked this question on here before but never got a reply from anybody.  I'd love to know if it's possible.

musicmusic - I appreciate totally that this is all a result of your dedication and hard work and that nobody should be in here making demands but most foobar components allow you to at least pick a background colour, text colour and 'edge type', to allow them to integrate into custom setups.  Could you possibly clarify if this is something that is possible already, or if you may plan to implement it in the future?

Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for the fantastic component!

I am using an iPhone running IOS 4.2.1. Most things work very well, but audio books are causing me some problems. I set the "media kind" tag to "audiobook" on my audio books, which causes them to appear in audiobooks on the iPhone and also enables remember playback position. (I confirmed the latter using the Item details function of iPod Manager's Manage contents tool.) The playback position is correctly remembered even after switching to different files on the iPod, as expected. However, if I perform any operation which modifies the iPod (I've tested Synchronise, Send to iPod and Remove from iPod), all remembered playback positions are lost and the files play from the start.

Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug/unsupported feature? This makes reading audiobooks rather tedious if one wants to add other files to the iPod before one finishes reading a book.

Thanks for any help.

Jamie

Hi. I've been using foobar2000 for awhile now. Haven't synced my iPhone 3GS in awhile and now I go to do it, it says no iPod found. And I receive this error upon foobar startup:

Quote
Error - iPod Manager

Failed to pair device - device is passcode locked. Unlock the device and retry.

Close


I have my iPhone unlocked and ready, if that's what it's talking about.

Using Foobar2000 v1.1 and foo_dop 0.6.8.8 installed. Used to sync, odd. Yes, "Enable mobile device support" is ticked.

Edit: And I using iOS 4.1

Hi,

is it possible to disable the usb ids check? I ask this because I've removed the microdrive from my iPod mini and I've plugged it in a usb card reader. IMHO foo_dop doesn't recognize it as iPod because the Vid/Pid doesn't match!

Thanks

So, you're asking foo_dop to identify a microdrive in a USB Card reader as an iPod?

hi all,
i did not read the complete 133 pages (but a lot...)....

my question:
if i'm browsing my music and stumble upon a file which i'd like to have on my ipod on the next sync, i put that file in my "transfer to ipod"-playlist.
because the ipod is not alway plugged in, i cannot transfer the file directly. thats why i use the  "transfer to ipod"-playlist.

this is done quite unhandy, because of the "many" steps:
(i made a button, which opens the "select destination playlist" window (foobar feature, not foo_dop))
-click the (above) button
-open the pulldown-menu
-chose correct playlist
-click ok
-move back to the playlist, i was before, becaue (i don't know why) foobar opens the selected playlist.

well, its not a realy misery, but i'd like to know:

how can i simplyfy this action, like:
-combine the button (or shortcut) with the playlist i'd like to use
-stop foobar focus the chosen playlist after copying the file (that maybe is a switch in foobar, but i did not find it...sorry)


EDIT: after reading it again, i figured out, that this might not the corect thread because i do not use any foo_dop functions, but maybe there is a way with this excellent plugin to achieve my goal?

I too have this exact problem.  Foobar splits up the mp3 via .cue file nicely but when I try to add it to my iPod I get that very same error.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

Hi

I think this is broadly the right place to ask this... Please don't flame me if it is a little off topic!!
I can't get foobar and a recently purchased ipod touch to work together.

This is what I have done so far

I have installed: -
AppleApplicationSupport
AppleMobileDeviceSupport
QuickTime

I have placed these items in the foobar components folder: -
foo_dop.dll
iPhoneCalc.dll

I still get this error message: -
"DB Version 5 requires iPhoneCalc.dll. Write operations are disabled."

I'm running foobar V 1.1.1 and the most recent link to the iphonecalc.dll from this forum

Please let me know if you need more info.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

A USB card reader is not an iPod. That's the point I'm trying to get across to you.


1. Both the card reader end the iPod are USB mass storage devices, so the connection protocol is the same;
2. the file system is the same: the Microdrive with the music is pulled from the iPod.

IMHO it doesn't work only because foo_dop searches for the iPod USB ids!

iPhoneCalc.dll goes in the root foobar directory, not the components directory.

Thank you very much for that... I must stop drinking stupid juice for breakfast 

Ok using the synchronise function I have now managed to put a proportion of my library on the ipod (you fill up 32gb very quickly these days!) but whilst I can play tracks from the ipod through foobar I can still do nothing else with the ipod at all.

I think I must be missing something pretty fundamental (yes and probably glaringly obvious too!)

The ipod is still in its "out of the box condition"

The symbol on the screen showing a usb lead and a cd symbol with itunes written underneath. (since I have successfully all but filled its memory it also shows a memory low warning message)

The ipod touch screen is still inoperable (as it was on first switch on)

The PC cannot "see" the device (os xp professional sp3)

as stated above foobar can  now see, read and write to the device although I haven't found a way of deleting any files through foobar yet.

I was really really hoping to avoid installing itunes... Do I have to do this first in order to make the device do more than a beer mat or is this a case of me being particularly numb in the skull region!

All help and some minor insults welcome

What you are seeing on touch screen is telling you to connect with iTunes. As with all apple devices they must be connected with iTunes the first time in order to use. Just installing iTunes isn't going to kill your machine. Granted you may not want to run it or use it all the time but you could have saved yourself quite a bit of hassle.
