This is a fantastic add on! I use foobar for 5 days and it is already absolutely the best audio player ever!
This add on is way better and easier to use than itunes. Fantastic job musicmusic

Thank you for the ipod manager, it's a great component!

"Failed to query device properties. Write operations are disabled."

iPod 3G running with vista, I tried the shift+file>ipod>raw properties but got another error message, "Error sending command. This is normal for older iPod models." everything was fine until i updated to the latest foo_dop & foo_input_alac. Itunes version 9.03.15.



best regards ... & help!

Is there to no way to configre foo_dop to do a custom sort based on the data of the sort fields?
You have sort field mappings in preferences now, I don't think the 5.5G will like anything other than sort artists though.

Hi,

I think I may have broken it. Is that really a 3G i.e. this one? Is it connected by firewire or USB?

(0.6.6.3 should still work for now)

Thanks

Hey musicmusic,

I'm working on adding coverflow/artwork support to iPod touches and iPhones using C#, but I'm having problems finding any information on the internet on how iTunes stores this information or how to duplicate the same functionality.
Do you have any suggestion on where I should start or can you direct me to any resources/links that you may have used to accomplish that in your foo_dop plugin?

Feel free to email or pm

Thanks for your time!
Mike

When the device properties cannot be retrieved (i.e. XP non-admin) write operations are now disabled

Why that? It worked fine for me before... now I have to run foobar in admin mode and that's quite a shame because I'm used to drag and drop stuff from the Windows Explorer into my playlist, which doesn't work if the application in run by another user

I am trying to move from WinAmp to foobar2000.

But, I can't figure out how to move songs from my hard drive to the iPod Classic. WinAmp supported simple drag & drop; no need for managing playlists and syncing. I'm not getting this plugin at all. And if I have to install iTunes, doesn't that just negate the need for the plugin?

Is the only documentation the FAQ? Really?

Plug in iPod then right-click file or files>ipod>send to ipod. As far as documentation musicmusics (author) site has documentation on it (wiki).

Yes, USB should work, but firewire should be fixed for next version. Thanks for the report.

Well no it didn't work, that was the point. Artwork wouldn't have worked, and it didn't work at all on some newer models.

If you have an old model that doesn't support artwork, then let me know what it is. Otherwise upgrade to a newer OS is all I can say..

Nope, there's 113 pages of forum posts as well.

In Explorer, I did the right-click/send to iPod thing. The files do transfer to the iPod, but not in any way that they can be played or even found through menu navigation.

If the clowns that made WinAmp can do drag and drop, why not this, too?

I think I made a mistake switching to foobar2000. I thought it had better iPod support than this.

Has anyone got dbpoweramp's command line encoder (coreconverter.exe) working?

I've tried the following simple parameters:

Quote
Encoder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\CoreConverter.exe
Parameters: -infile=%s -outfile=%d -convert_to="m4a Nero (AAC)" -q .95
Extension: m4a

I always receive a window pop-up error saying GetStdHandle and then a message saying it failed to convert. The error has also been reported at dbpoweramp forums:

http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=19359

Note that i'm able to get coreconverter working with foobar's normal conversion utility and J River Media Center.

Reason I'd like to use coreconverter is that it has more advanced abilities using additional command line parameters.

There's no %s, you need to use stdin.

I'm pretty new to this so I think I'm missing something. Does that mean changing the parameters to:

-infile=- -outfile=%d -convert_to="m4a Nero (AAC)" -q .95

I've also tried:

-infile=- -outfile=%d -convert_to="m4a Nero (AAC)" -q .95 -sourcefreq="44100" -sourcechannels="2" -sourcebits="16" -ignorelength

Neither of the above works. I'm using the following for reference:

Doesn't sound like it will work, it says in your link:
Quote
When using '-' for input filename the audio must be supplied 'raw' (no headers) to the stdin pipe
It will have a header, so there goes that.

What are you ultimately trying to do using coreconverter?

I'm trying to use coreconverter to embed a folder.jpg into each m4a file. coreconverter can do this by adding the following commandline parameter.

-dspeffect1="ID Tag Processing= -importart={qt}folder.jpg{qt}"

I'd like to do this because I often experience disappearing album art on songs added to my itouch by foo_dop. When interacting with my itouch via itunes (on a macbook), itunes reads the file tags and since it doesn't find embedded artwork, it seems to remove the artwork in the itouch database as well.

The encoder doesn't have any knowledge of where the source file is, so it won't pick up folder.jpg like that anyway. I didn't seem to have any problem stringing two commands together using cmd /c though, but with the other problem it won't help. I'll think about making some changes, then it should be possible to use neroaacenc and neroaactag together.

So you are trying to create/send a playlist named "Podcasts" yourself? I will make some changes there if that's the case.

Well i have a three different playlists, iPod Playlist, Loved Tracks and Podcasts which i sync to the iPod. I'm not sure what's going on but there's a playlist on the Manage Contents panel called Podcast and it's undeletable and because of that, when my podcast playlist get's synced, it is automatically renamed to Podcasts (1) if you understand that

Also i've encountered another bug. Sometimes the iPod just disconnects and ruins all of my other USB drives which includes my USB wireless thingo and the only way to get it to reconnect is to restart my computer.

Should be OK in 0.6.6.8, just released.

Can't be the component, sounds like something USB controller related. Make sure your BIOS (if it is an on-board controller) and OS are up-to-date.

little bug that i found; when theres a song's file name written with much space in between characters, the song wont play at all but i dont get error messages and it loads fine in the ipod, so its much harder to detect.

for instance, a song with a file name like  Madonna -              Lucky star              dz                zx.mp3 
might cause some problems and i suspect songs with very long filenames to do so also.    i had to rename the actual file to madonna - lucky star.mp3 for it to be playable.
its a bit annoying, because both foo_dop and the ipod won't report it.  when the non-working song is in a playlist, it will just skip without any notice, so that you have to be really careful to notice it. 

plz fix this minor annoyance    , greatest plugin ever already.
