But in your case - filetype not supported by iPod - it should be fairly straightforward to make it transcode them to separate files.


Yes, that is all I am looking to do. All of my music is backed up to flac images, so just to be able to transcode miscellaneous tracks from the image would be terrific for my situation.

At the moment, here at work, I only have single FLAC files to transcode and I have been able to transcode full 12 track albums at once without a problem.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

musicmusic,

Great plugin!!!
Currently using the 0.3.6 test version and so far so good.

iTunes just blew.  The Winamp plugin works, but hated going back and forth from it and fb2k.  Now I can ditch Winamp.

Keep up the fantastic work man!!!  Looking forward to any and all enhancements/improvements...

Could you add tag mapping for the rating?

iPod Shuffle - Possible: yes. Planned: not right now.

Wow! Thanks! I'm the first to use it when it comes available!

There is a new special version available that needs testing here. It has a new background monitor for iPod connection/disconnections and also now detects iPods by their Device Instance ID (which means it will detect iPods without iTunesDB present).

However, this needs testing to see if it is working correctly. Please check with the test version to see if it still detects your iPod (e.g. try load library command) - especially if it is connected by firewire. If it does not, there should be some messages about drives in the foobar2000 console - just paste them here and tell me your iPod drive letter. Note: I don't really want it used for anything else other than to test this.

I'm also collecting VIDs/PIDs etc. for different iPods. These can be gotten from the console messages the test version outputs (see next link for more info). I'm especially interested if all iPods have the same IDs over firewire. I've put what I know so far here but a lot of it is second hand info. Please fill any gaps and make any corrections. Thanks!

Hi musicmusic,

I connect by firewire and the new test version detected my iPod and loaded the library without a problem.

Also, I have a 3G and the console reads:

Startup time : 0:16.460685
iPod connected at M: Device Instance ID: 1394\APPLE_COMPUTER__INC.&IPOD\1670C202270A00

I'll add this to the wiki table.

Thank you all for testing. Good enough success rate for me

I uploaded final 0.3.7 TEST to my homepage. Details in changelog. I removed the console messages that were present in the earlier version also.

Hi musicmusic,

I just wanted to let you know that transcoding from my FLAC image files is working perfectly. Thank you very much for including this in the final 0.3.7 Test version.

Happy New Year!

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!

This might be a really obvious question, but could someone tell me what field I'm supposed to map %album artist% to? Is that was composer is for? The documentation says it's supported but all my VA albums are spread around.

Same as above, I tried USB also - it doesn't work either.

OK, it wasn't working in Vista, because the volume isn't a child of the iPod's disk anymore in the device tree.

I used some funky tricks to match the iPod volume to the iPod disk without using admin priviledges or WMI (which is slooow). I tested it on XP SP2 and Vista RC2 where it works for USB iPods. Can you people who had problems and firewire people check if it works for you. The new version to test is located here. Note: it is only to check if it works or not. There's no console messages.

The new version works for me. I'm using Vista and firewire. And thank you VERY much for this component by the way!

Yes it works under Vista now (both firewire and usb)!

And huge thanks for the great on-the-fly converter!!

Ok, I am probably being massively stupid here, but could someone help me out with the converter. I have tried every possible combination of codes I could reasonable think of.

What I want to do is to add properly tagged LAME V2 MP3s to my IPOD I am using this code

Code: [Select]
command:
C:\lame.exe -S --noreplaygain -V 2 --vbr-new - %d

Extension:
mp3
The failure I get is

Reason: Conversion failed - encoder failure


Presumably I don't have to convert to .wav before the conversion, do I?

If someone could post a successful code, I would be most grateful.

musicmusic, thankyou so much for this superb plugin.

Could you add a "copy" feature, so if you use it, instead of transcoding a not supported file, foo_dop would just copy it like foo_sendtodevice? That way, foo_dop would be perfect for Rockbox/Apple OS use

I hope you understand what I mean 

Thanks!

another thing - it seems that the "omit the when sorting" feature works, but scrolling songs on the iPod results in "A, T, B, T, C, T..." is this fixable?

You're command works fine here, so I don't think that is at fault. What version of LAME are you using? Try 3.97. What is the input file format? Try a different one. It may be specific to that format in which case I can fix it.

I don't want to put unsupported formats in the iPod's db, it's only going to confuse the iPod and me also. Okay, maybe you don't want them in the iPod's DB but anyways sorry I don't plan to add this at the moment

Hmmm.... I don't think its fixable without making the songs list as "..., The". Do you know what iTunes does?

iPod Shuffle Test Version
Thanks to the person who sent me their Shuffle iPod_Control\iTunes folder, I was able to attempt to implement Shuffle support.

Note: It has the following limitations:
-I don't own a Shuffle. Therefore I don't know if it even works or just send Shuffles into Oblivion.
-Make sure you backup your iPod_Control\iTunes folder before use
-It doesn't preserve the original song order. I.e., first time you use foo_dop, the song order will change. In addition, songs sent using foo_dop will appear in an arbitrary order.
-Doesn't merge play counts back into the DB. Doesn't support start/stop times. Resets the Shuffle's volume and shuffle status when updating the Shuffle.
-Don't know how foo_dop and DRM'd songs already on the Shuffle mix.

Test version download I am interested to know if it actually works (can you listen to added songs etc.)

I'm still interested in iPod_Control\iTunes backup of a shuffle that has been used a fair bit and has many songs on it and has only been used with iTunes.
