Having trouble with the .7z files.  What do I with them?  I downloaded the 7-zip archive support component but I don't see what to do with it. 

You do what you do with any other compressed archive format - get a program that will unpack it, like, say, 7-zip, WinRAR or a dozen of other archivers...

Musicmusic, I got the following error when 'send to ipod', I can see the conversion from FLAC to AAC is going but by the end it show this error and nothing sent to ipod.

"Error writing iTunesDB file : Expected 16 character FireWireGUID. Got: 000000BC614E"

I am using WIN7 HOME, foobar v1.1.6 + foo_pod several versions from the latest version, I got the same error.

My control console shows:

iPod manager: Device properties: DBVersion: 3
iPod manager: Apple iPod/iPhone connected. Device Instance Path: USB\VID_05AC&PID_1261&MI_00\000000BC614E&AAPL0

Please help. By the way, I can load the library from ipod and play the music on it in foobar.

My ipod is 160G 6g.

Thanks a lot.

Hmm, interesting. Can you PM me the output of Shift + File/iPod/Raw properties? It should be an easy fix, anyway.

[edit] Also, if you can send me a copy of the iTunesDB file from iPod_Control\iTunes.

Can you maybe give me an email address so that I can send the iTunesDB file? I can't figure out how to send to you here.

BTW, your device seems to have been made in March 2010, so it's not that new; I'm not sure why it is different, but it's not too important. Is there anything strange about the USB controller it is connected to?

Is there any way that I can make the artist menu on my iPod sort by the album artist tag and not the plain old artist tag?

I have quite a lot of compilations which means a ton of artists with only one song are cluttering up my artists menu.

I think iTunes either excludes any artists from there if the album has the compilation tag, or sorts by the album artist tag.

EDIT: I'm using foobar2000 v1.1.6 and foo_dop v0.6.8.9 on Windows 7, with a 5th (not the "5.5" generation) 30GB iPod.

Musicmusic, following your new version 6.9.3 the problem is resolved. Thank you so much, I love your program. :-)

musicmusic, I note your site says that iPad2 doesn't work, even with iPhoneCalc.dll - that's surprising, because it's always worked fine for me, ever since I got mine.

Either change the compilation remapping to recognise your compilations, or do this.

Someone put that there, I did think it should work, and as you've confirmed I'll change it

Thanks. I've remapped the album artist and title tags, but I can't find where to update the metadata.

I've seen this mentioned several times, but I can't find the option anywhere, nor can I find anywhere telling me where it is. I have a feeling this is a really stupid question though

Not sure why it won't edit my post, but I found the option anyway. All sorted now, thanks for your help.

I just got a new iPhone (running on 4.2.8) and I'm having trouble syncing it.  I have foobar2000 1.1, iPod Manager 0.6.8.9, and an iPhoneCalc.dll that I found by Googling.  The error message I get is "DB Version 5 requires iPhoneCalc.dll. Write operations are disabled." 
Maybe I have the wrong iPhoneCalc file?

Did you put it in the same folder as foobar2000.exe?

I am currently overseas and we have a download cap of 10MB, so I decided to download foobar2000 because I do not have itunes installed on my pc. Now for the iPod manager to work do you need to have itunes installed. My pc pick's up my 2Gen iPod touch, but foobar itself does not. Can anybody help me with this problem. Thank you

If you don't want to install Itunes you need to install Bonjour Print Services

I previously used Winamp with the ml_ipod plugin. It had the option to change the way the names showed up on the ipod. For instance, I would add the artist name to the title field. So with iTunes I would see:

Crazy
Crazy
Crazy
Crazy
Crazy

on my ipod, with ml_ipod I would see:

Crazy {Aerosmith}
Crazy {Barenaked Ladies}
Crazy {Gnarls Barkley}
Crazy {Ice House}
Crazy {Patsy Cline}
Crazy {Seal}

Is there a way to do this with Foobar?

In my never ending quest to get away from itunes i am once again trying foo_dop.  I am having the same problem I had a year ago.  When I try to add files to my ipod 6g 80gb classic 2007 it says "failed to add files to ipod it reserved disk space limit exceeded"  Why is this.  I can fin fix it by making an unused 800 megabytes on it but that is a waste of my ipod and believe it or not 80 gigs is not enough for me.  Ive tried the recover orphaned command but it does nothing.  thanks for the help

If you mean foobar2000 itself is not playing audio, then it is probably something to do with your output settings. Check them and the console.

It will not use the last .5% of disk space which I work out to be ~390MB. You can change the limit in advanced preferences if you want to, but some space is needed to write database files etc.

I apologize if this question was already asked, but I cannot for the life of me figure out to to EDIT playlists ON MY IPOD.  I'll send a playlist over from Foobar but after that I have no way of adding or removing songs from that playlist.  What I've been doing is if I've added songs to playlist X I just removed playlist X from my iPod and sent the edited version over.  But when I do that the songs from the old playlist X get copied twice on my iPod when they're sent over again with the edited version of playlist X that contains the old songs + the new ones I've added.  So if some could please let me know if there is a way to edit playlists on the iPod.  I really like Foobar, but this is the one function I have not been able to find that I could with iTunes and I would really like to not get iTunes just for that function.  I'm using The 1.1.7 beta version of Foobar.

There is no easy way I'm afraid, other than using the synchronise command instead.

If you disable the "Sort iPod library playlist" option on the behaviour tab in preferences, it will leave the items in the order they are in the database, which is effectively the same thing.
