Its been requested before and is in the to do list.

Would you be so kind and publish some sort of such a "to do" and "done" list?

I love this plugin. It's been an extremely needed addition for many people including myself. Not sure if this is on your list but I will mention it. It converts the rating info into the itunes database when tracks are put on the ipod (nice feature), however it does not put that data back or display it when you do "load library". What I'm looking for is basically a way that I can add a rating to new music on my ipod, then transfer that rating to the copy of the file on my computer. If anyone has any solutions for the interim while this plugin is being developed, please let me know.

I've been using this plugin since it's begining of development (musicmusic, you have done a extensive work here, thank you)..

I know you have a lot to do and some bugs to fix, but transcode to mp3 (in my case from FLAC) is really needed. Do you have plans for it in near future?

I transcode from FLAC to MP3 with no problems. Use this inside iPod Manager: Command: lame.exe -V 2 --vbr-new - %d  and Extension: mp3

This is assuming that you have lame.exe in the foobar2000 directory. Add your own path to lame.exe if it is different.

Good luck!

Hi musicmusic,

Thanks for adding the transcoder, Ive only just started using it but i've had no problems so far.

I was wondering if it should be possible to access "Send to iPod" from the command line, i tried foobar2000.exe "/playing_command:Send to iPod" but it didnt work. The ipod actions on the main menu do work from the command line.

Nice! Thanks. Makes this plugin even more perfect. I silently hope for last.fm intergration someday, but nothing "very wanted"

Is it possible to add an aac transcoder? It seems to be a native format to iPod. It can be done using the free Nero AAC, used by foobar transcoder by default.

correct me if im wrong, but i believe foo_dop doesnt include a transcoder as such it just executes an exe transcoder therefore if u find a acc command line trancoder (a single exe trancoder for acc) if would be able to do the covertion for u.

@musicmusic - small request. On uploading a new playlist could u set it to resort the playlists on the iPod by name. Currently they are just ammended on the bottom.

Well Nero free won't work since the CMDline encoder needs to support pipes...

Well done musicmusic... The plugin now has enough features for me to not have to have iTunes... the only thing missing now is album art assigning.

Just a question to all the foo_doppers... Is it safe to update my iPod Video's firmware? Is it needed? Will it break compatibility with foo_dop? I think I'm still on my original FW version...

Nero works fine for me using "neroAacEnc_sse2 -q 0.50 -ignorelength -if - -of %d" in the Conversion area of iPod Manager in Preferences.

Has anyone tested this on the 5.5 gen iPod Video yet? I'm thinking of buying one of those, and wanted to know if the plugin works with it.

Just fine, expect for the sorting.

Thanks for the plugin musicmusic,

I've just tested 0.3.9 today and it works great for transferring the music to my IPod shuffle 

I have a little feature request, it would be nice to have a functionnality that fills my ipod with songs taken randomly from a playlist. For the time being I do it manually:
  • Remove the songs from the ipod
  • Randomize the source playlist
  • Take the first 120 songs of the playlist and send them to the ipod

PS: I admit I haven't read the full thread so forgive me if the request has already been made before.

I use 5.5G iPod and i noticed some things.

- when transcoding files to mp3 with cmd "lame.exe -V 2 --vbr-new - %d", a lot of files don't get transfered, all of my files were the same song "soad - byob". I don't know the reason but i can bug test it for you if you don't have an idea.

-when sending new playlists to ipod, it doesn't sort them, just adds them at the end of the list.

- Last.fm compatibility is still one of my wishes (and one of other's too)

btw: 5.5g, 80gb works like a charm

1. After operations with iPod playlists (no sure about any operation) all smart playlists become broken. I.e. "My Top Rated" is limited to number of songs it had when foobar made changes. Running and closing iTunes helps but installing iTunes just for that reason…

2. Also after any file operations with iPod "On-the-Go" playlist becomes regular playlist and is renamed to "On-the-Go 1/2/3/…" Somewhat irritating.

PS: But anyway, thanks for the great plugin. Saved me plenty of HDD space with it's transcoder

What error do you get? If none it should be on your iPod somewhere.

If you are sending the same file (same path) multiple times in one pass it will only send it once.

Also bear in mind on newer iPods if you have an artist with one album and some tracks with no album, you won't be able to browse to the tracks with no album from the Artists menu on the iPod. You can use the remappings to get around that e.g. $if2(%album%,'('None')') for album. That will be the default one day.

I don't quite understand. You mean the playlists become 'forzen', or something else?

If you could send me the iTunesDB with the smart playlists working OK I can look into it. Thanks.

Yes, but iTunes does the same.

Just got a 30GB 5.5gen iPod and having trouble getting foo_dop to work.

I used 0.3.9TEST and basically just plugged in iPod and hit synchronise iPod (latest firmware) running Foobar 0.9.4.2. When I go to play my music on the iPod it just skips the tracks and then exits back to the main screen.

I noticed there is a new version coming out. I just want to say I still love this plugin and check on its development regularly even though there usually isn't anything going on. Most usefull plugin in all of foobar.  My only wish is for a feature to transfer ratings from the ipod database to ratings in metadata (id3 n stuff). That way I could use the rating feature on the ipod for real.

Hi musicmusic.  I wanted to pass on the news that itunes 7.1 has changed the itunesdb file.  The issue popped up on the ml_ipod forum link, and I thought that foo_dop may be affected as well.  Me, I have no intention of installing itunes, but surely there are some who will.
 

Best,
M

edit:  nevermind, pardon, I should have looked at the changelog first.  You already know about it.

Awesome plugin, I've said it before in this thread

Just wanted to know if there was this certain feature. I use the Synchronize feature, and I sync a playlist to the iPod. I do use iTunes, but only to put videos, pictures, and podcasts onto the iPod. Now, every time I sync the iPod with foo_dop, it deletes all my videos. I know why this is (the video files aren't in the sync list) but is there anyway I can get around this? I know there is video support but unfortunately it doesn't work too well for me

Thanks again musicmusic!

When I send a playlist over to the ipod, it sends the contents of what was on the playlist, but not the actual playlist itself.  Is this expected behavior?

of course it'll send the contents of the playlist..... why would it send the playlist ITSELF? that file would ONLY contain relative links to the music stored on your hard drive, not the ipod

anyways, great work musicmusic!! it's now working perfectly on my 2nd gen shuffle

i love the transcoder support... that was one feature that i needed THE most because my playlist usually contains multiple filetypes (almost every imaginable one believe it or not  )

again, if you need any assistance with respect to the shuffle, feel free to msg me.... i can do testing for you!

Uh, yeah, but I wanted it to send both.  The whole point of a playlist is to have an easily accessible list of songs that play in a certain order.  If I send my workout playlist to the iPod, then I have to queue up all those songs manually while I'm at the gym trying to exercise.

sending playlists to my 5.5gen actually sends the playlist which is what its supposed to do. I have had the problem where it only sent the files so i always load the library and playlists after sending a playlist to check its on there. try doing that
