Is there any way to autostart foobar when an ipod is connected instead of iTunes?

I tried turning off start itunes when this ipod connects in itunes.  Then created an autostart handler for foobar in tweakui from microsoft and associated it with mixed content and music files but when I attach an ipod, foobar doesn't start.

Thanks for your help.

iTunes does so by registering itself with iPodService which is what detects when the iPod is connected. There isn't any documentation for the iPodService API so using it is somewhat tricky (I did once, then it broke with a new version of iTunes..) The other alternative is the component having it's own service but anyway it doesn't..

You could try messing with an autorun.inf file on your iPod; I don't know if that will get satisfactory results though..

thanks for the input.  I was surprised that just setting up a ms handler for autorun when the f: drive is attached didn't work.  No autorun ever happened and couldn't be forced to happen.

Does anyone have an old version of this plugin that is compatible with 0.9.4? I'd really appreciate a quick upload or something....

I just upgraded to the latest version 0.6.2.4 and now foo_dop can't add files to my iPod: Failed to add file to iPod: path is too long. The "path" is something like: E:\Music\Music\Violin\Track 01.mp3.

I have songs with English names and Chinese names. I tried both synchronization and sending playlists. What's going on??

I have two question.

I store all my music in .CUE format with a compatible .FLAC, .APE or .WV

So I get foo_dop to do the automatic conversion, everything works fine, except lyrics.

First I just wanna to know how I can check if ReplayGain information is passed correctly to iPOD using the automatic conversion of foo_dop

Second, I can't use the Lyrics function. Can't add LYRICS METAFLAG TAG to my Cuesheets, dunno how to do this.

Any help will be appreciated and sorry my poor english.

One quick question that searching hasn't given me an answer too: Can I add artwork to files already on the iPod? Many thanks.

no, you should reload the file - that's the only way.

Sigh....Apple at it again.

I have not really had a whole lot of time to play with it yet, but it appears right now that the iPhone 2.0 firmware is unable to read a database written by this program.  This morning before work I decided to send a few files to the device.  It had a bunch of podcasts and a working file database with the new iTunes 7.7 and the iPhone running 2.0 firmware.  After sending music, the device's iPod program now says that there is no content on the device, either as podcast or as music.

Going back into foobar2000 and loading the library, I am still able to play the files as before, so they are on the device and healthy.  I am guessing that something in the new software has changed the database in some way, and it opts not to read files written as the old type.

I know iPhone support is so terribly cumbersome to keep up with, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you just opted not to bother with it.  However, let me know if there's anything I can provide to help you debug this should you decide to pursue another Apple headache.

They have possibly changed the hashing algo..

BTW did you update through an official method or the manual one (by downloading the file floating around)? If you did it manually, be warned that "iPhone1,2" refers to the iPhone 3G whilst "iPhone1,1" is the normal iPhone, they have two separate .ipsw files (the hashing algo could be a difference)..

Otherwise I can at least check the obvious things, if you provide a database (iTunesDB) written by iTunes and the output from the special version from before (do not use that version for anything else, it is an old build).

One other thing, if you go through 'Load library', and open the properties of one of the files, does it still have the long string of letters/numbers in the path after "applemobiledevice://" ?

I used the "leaked" copy of the firmware last night.  After reading your post, I decided it would be best to update through the "official" method just in case there was some difference....and the iTunes activation servers are completely dead.  Myself and 1000s of other people ware waiting for them to come back online, and we are all stuck in semi-brick mode until the update can be validated.

I'll do some testing whenever they come back online, probably tomorrow.

OK. It probably did but I would double check that iTunes downloaded the correct update since you had the other one on there. For iPods they are stored at "%appdata%\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates", possibly "%appdata%\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates" for iPhones. If you need it the ipsw file should be this one:
Code: [Select]
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-4956.20080710.V50OI/iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
Comparing the filename would be enough.

It is more likely that they would only (intentionally) change the hashing method for the iPhone 3G, because it is a bit of a hassle changing it for existing devices (it would affect the database already on there), but anything is possible.. We will find out what is going on

Upgrading from 1.x to 2.0 required all data on the device to be wiped and all music/videos to be re-downloaded, so the probably did change the database somewhat

Looks like the activation servers are back up, and I am now upgraded with the official push, so I'll run through some tests and see what happens.

Yes I wondered about that but it seems like a complete backup of the device:
Quote
Normally if you choose to update, the iPhone or iPod touch software is updated but your settings and media are not affected. If your device currently has a software version prior to 2.0 (1.x) and you are updating to software version 2.0 or later, all data on your device will be erased in order to perform install the new software. In this case, iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of your device depending on what content is on your device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library you are connected to. You should ensure that you have enough free space on your Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB) if you proceed with the this backup.

My feeling is that if that was to make some changes to the database, they could do that in-place. Maybe they are repartitioning the drive or something..

OK, With the official firmware push, I send all of my video and podcasts to the device with iTunes in the official way, and it all works great.  I then send along some mp3 files with foo_dop, it copies them fine, the device shows the "sync in progress" screen like normal, but now the iPod application says "No Content".  I can load the library and play the files that are on the iPhone through fb2k just fine.

The worst part is that iTunes now see the device, but all other options other than "Restore" are hidded, and I get a message saying that I need to restore the device because iTunes cannot read from it.

Attached is a zip file containing a text file of the Test Results from your previous foo_dop, a copy of iTunesDB written by iTunes 7.7 to iPhone 2.0, and a copy of iTunesDB after foo_dop tries to add some mp3 files.

Hope it all helps.

Edit: Yes, when I do a load library, it still shows the files as applemobiledevice:// follow by the long string of letters and numbers,,,,

Thank you, I'll take a look, you can remove the link if you want (it has some serial numbers and what not).

Yes one of the reasons iTunes behaves like that is if it fails to verify the hash..

I sent you a message

Also, you should be able shut iTunes up about the restore thing by restoring the iTunesDB it wrote (close iTunes first).

I am a long time user of foobar and I just recently decided to try and use this plugin to move music to and from my collection.  It looks awsome. But I have some difficulties. 


I am using the following:

Foobar2000: v0.9.5.4
foo_dop-0.6.2.4.7
iPod Nano 3G Silver
Firmware version: 1.1.2

Music transfers to and from ipod with no troubles, I can play the music in foobar with no troubles but music transfered onto the ipod from foobar will not play on the ipod.  The titles/album art show up on the ipod as expected but the files will not play...it attempts but then goes back to the list.

I used itunes to transfer the exact same mp3 files to the ipod and the files play as expected. 

Is there a trouble-shooting guide somewhere that I can go to that perhaps would have a solution to this problem.  Or perhaps some of you veteran foo_pods can help.

Can you upload one of these files to e.g. yousendit.com and PM me the link? I will check it. Please also zip the file to preserve the filename.

@dopper:

I had this same issue a while back with files showing up, playing fine everywheree except the iPod. What I did to fix the problem was to right click the problem files, then "Rebuild MP3 Stream". Just try it on ONE of your problem files and see if it fixes it.

I released a new build to test with iPhone with 2.0 software. I do not know if it works or how well.

Note: Do not use it with any other iPod model, it will not work!

RainDawg, you can try this instead..

Thanks for the reply Keikonium

I tried "Rebuild MP3 Stream" and other options under utils, but still no luck.
I also tried 2 other ipods:  IPOD Nano 2Gig v1.1.3 and IPOD 4G U2 v3.1.1 and they experienced the same problem. 
I installed the applications on a different PC and same thing...
