I would like to have my classical genres above the contemporary genres in my genre list on my Ipod. But putting a leading underline or space has the wanted effect in foobar (coloums ui) but my iPod seems to ignore these characters and the order doesnt change. Leading numbers will put these genres beneath the others. Leading numers to the contemporary genres (which are quite numberous) should do the trick, but is not very nice ;-) Any proposal how I can achieve my goal?

Hey guys I seem to be having a problem with this plugin as well. Im trying to sync a playlist to a first gen ipod touch.

I have the 0.6.8.8 experimental version (tried the latest non experimental, gave same problem), and the v1.1.1 foobar.

The ipod has music on it from a previous sync on itunes (which hasnt been updated in months and that operating system was reinstalled, so any sync with itunes wouldnt work anyway).

I can access the ipod touch via the menu and remove playlists currently on it. However, whenever I try to add any music, be it single tracks or playlists I get the following error:

"Failed to add file to ipod: Reserved disk space limit exceeded"

There is definately space on the ipod, however it says 0 bytes free in my memory.

Will I have to delete everything off the ipod and start from scratch to get the ipod to solve this? Or is there a feature im not utilising? Ive been to file>> ipod>>> manage contents and deleted the bulk of the playlists which have been removed. Yet this doesnt seem to free up any space.

Sorry if this has been referenced in the thread, but I couldnt find it.

Excuse me for not reading the entire thread, but I did search for an answer for a while and it didn't clear things up for me
Got a 6G nano, fb2k 1.1.1 portable, latest foo_dop and iphonecalc.dll in fb2k's folder.
Attempting to sync playlists with a brand new Ipod in Foobar results in "Failed to query SQL post process commands. Write operations are disabled.", same when rewriting DB or sending playlists.
The only answer for this problem given at this forum is instaling Apple software. Is it really required for a Nano or am I reading it wrong?
You need the iPod driver at least, it comes with Apple Mobile Device Support. Otherwise some low-level commands aren't possible.

Sorry, if this has been treated before... Is this normal, that when positioning the scroll-bar of my classic over the "now playing" menu-entry there is no cover of the actual playing track but only this note whith grey background visible? Although the cover is present and visible in all other menus?

Am I the only one whith this problem? Is this working whith your ipod classics?
I have not heard of this problem before. Which gen classic (from File/iPod/Properties)?

I think leading symbols are generally ignored. So you might be out of luck.

What does it say from File/iPod/Properties for free space? You may just have orphaned files, in which case the 'Recover Orphaned Files' command can recover them and you can then remove them.

How do you guys deal with transferring compilation albums from foobar to ipod? I hate seeing extra 20 artist names under "artists" because I added 1 compilation album to my ipod. Is there a way to keep compilation albums together?

For some reason I can't get it to find my Ipod. I have a 32 gig 4th Gen Ipod touch with latest firmware, When I try to load library I get "No Ipod found." Help please so far I have really liked this player.

Is it possible to get the latest version of AMDS without Itunes?
Itunes won't install on my computer (XP SP3), says "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation".
I found an old MSI of AMDS in Application Data folder, from 2007 () which has been there for a while I guess, installed it, the service is running and Apple software update isn't offering to download a newer version, but foo_dop still won't work

(I could have sworn I posted this already, but it appears that there is no such post.)

This appears to be a rehash of a frequently occurring problem.  I have foo_dop installed on two different systems that I spend a lot of time on: Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.  (Both are 64 bit.)  I am accessing my iPhone 3GS via foobar2000 (v1.1.2), using foo_dop version 0.6.8.8.7.  Have latest iTunes software installed, v 10.1.2.17, including Apple Mobile Device Support v 3.3.1.3.  My iOS version is 4.2.1.  Latest and greatest all around. I have configured "Enable mobile device support" in the iPod Manager preferences.

The Windows 7 environment works flawlessly.  However, the Server 2008 R2 environment is another thing.  I can load the iPod library into foobar2000 via File > iPod > Load library and that's just fine.  But when I go to the iPod View list to remove an item via the context menu iPod > remove from iPod, I get this infamous error:

Error reading iTunes DB: I/O Error: ACFFileRefOpen
returned: 2 Path was:
/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesCDB

I've gone through the various posts in this thread but haven't found anything that helped.  I've tried switching versions of foo_dop.dll, but no luck.  The interesting thing is that my Server 2008 R2 machine was upgraded from Server 2008, where everything was working fine.

Help?  Please?

Nevermind, musicmusic, Itunes was defeated at last :)Thank you for the earlier reply!
Well, you can extract the AMDS installer from the iTunes installer anyway (using e.g. 7-Zip).

That specific error means "bad operation header". It is surely something specific to hardware or software configuration/environment, but who knows what. You should also get an error if you do 'Load library' twice. You could either create a second partition and put a clean OS install on that and test there, or a try virtual machine with USB pass-through (though I suppose that doesn't necessarily exclude host OS issues).

Thanks for your reply, MM.  I was afraid of that.   

As far as a second partition goes, that is exactly what I have now - that's the Win 7 OS that works fine.  The problem with this is I spend almost all day in my Server 2008 R2 environment and would like to be able to manipulate my iPhone's contents while I'm there.  I've got a couple other guest OS images under Hyper-V to try, and another Server 2008 R2 machine...but I'm not too hopeful.

Nothing I can do to further diagnose the source of the problem?

I'm new to foobar and the ipod manager. I'm having problems with compilation albums. Please help.

I have one album with various artists. After syncing, my iPhone shows 10 albums of the same name, each containing an artist.

I'm new to the whole coding thing (if%artist%, etc, etc) as well. Any links for explanations relevant to foobar?

Hello, i got a question about how the artwork data is stored to the iPod.

I use a system with a High-Resoultion Cover.jpg in the folder of each album. As i first started using iTunes, it needs embedded Art to Display it on the iPod. And as i didn't wanted a 1,5 MB file embedded in my tags, i rescaled them to 500*500 and saved them into the tags. Now with foobar i dont know i still need this....

i activated "add artwork to files" and leaved the source script blank, cause i dont want those Hi-Res pics copied. I activated the foobar built-in artwork reader as i thought it would take the embedded art...but im not sure about it cause it will still use the format's like Cover, Front and so and defined in the "Display" Section of foobar-preferences?!

Now the question is: How are the jpg's saved to the iPod? Are they extracted from the tags and then saved in a local database on the ipod or can the ipod read the embedded art? Cause if they are extracted i would have them twice,one in the file and one at the iPod.. this would waste some space.




A workaround could be ( i guess)this , but i want to understand how foo_dop works

1 Deleting embedded art
2 Creating a smaller "iPod-Cover.jpg" of each hi-res cover
3. Disabling foobar's built-in reader
4. Adding a sourcescript like %file_path%\iPod-Cover.jpg

Thanx for your great work

If I'm not mistaken, I think you can get rid of all embedded and additional cover arts: just point foobar to you high-res pictures and foo_dop will scale them when sending to the iPod.

At least this is my understanding of foo_dop artwork management: musicmusic or someone else will eventually correct me.

HTH.

I doubt it's purely a Server 2008 R2 issue - perhaps something that is installed? I can at least stick Windows Server 2008 R2 on a VM and see if I get any strange results.. As for anything else to diagnose, it should be possible to get the AMDS library and service to produce their own debug logs; let me dig up some info on that..

Just to be sure, you have tried reinstalling iTunes? foobar2000 should be closed when doing so. Also, have you checked a clean portable foobar2000 install?

Essentially, yes, that is it. The iPod doesn't read embedded art; the artwork is stored on the device separately in a number of device-dependent formats

Thanx for your response, so my hi-res pic's will automatic be downscaled? this will save me much time creating smaller files of the hi-res pics...

hi, ive been using an iPod nano for quite sometime, and this lovely component was the joy of my life.


However, i discovered that some companies make far better mp3 players than those lame ipods.  right now, im using a Sony Walkman 16GB (S545).  The sound quality and the volume are lightyears ahead of my old 5th gen iPod.  Problem is; i dont have this lovely foobar component to sync my music!!!  so i i have to rely on drag and drop

just wondering; is there an equivalent to Sir Musicmusic's component for Sony?

dude, ive used both players for a year each.  you dont need to be a super genius to figure out which one has better sound.

thanks for your inputs.

Volume and impedance has a lot to do with sound quality. We're being off topic, though. This plugin is not for your player, nor is it remotely related. You should try google.

Can anyone give me a bit of advice?  I currently have sort album mapped to read the %albumsortorder% tag, but what I would like it to do is check if %albumsortorder% exists, if so use that and if not to use %date% %album%.  Anyone give me guidance on how to achieve this?  I would just use %date% %album%, but I have some albums that I like to sort differently using the album sort order tag.

Thanks in advance,
J

I believe
Code: [Select]
$if(%albumsortorder%,%albumsortorder%,%date% %album%)

should do it.
