I'm sure he's either working on it now or will be working on it soon. This has to be one of the most popular foobar plugins. No need to repeatedly ask if he's working on it.

In the meantime, if you're stuck without music on your iPhone, http://www.audiogalaxy.com/ is awesome. You basically run a small program on your computer, and then you can access your entire music collection via 3G or WiFi. It'll also scrobble to Last.fm. They have a premium upgrade that allows you to download songs to the iPhone in case you're somewhere where you don't have internet access. It works really well.

EDIT 2: Forgot to mention that since iTunes update and install of 0.6.9.7 foobar crashes every time it's closed.

Same here.
But iPod manager rocks, I hope musicmusic will improve compatibility with ios5 soon

Just wanted to add that there may be an additional problem inherent to the iPhone 4S that came out today, and not just iTunes.  Not sure, but I get this error message:

"Failed to locate function AMDeviceNotificationGetThreadHandle"

Equipment:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0
foobar2000 v0.9.6
iTunes v10.5.0.142

Just wanted to add that I, too, just a couple of hours ago updated my iphone 4 to the new iOS5 and foobar gives me an error that says "Failed to locate function AMDeviceNotificationGetThreadHandle" using the latest stable version of foobar & foo_dop.

I don't mind switching to itunes for a moment, but I sure hope that won't last!

On the other hand, I'm sooo glad to see the new "Group by Album Artist" option!

I updated my iPhone and found it is no longer recognized by Foobar. 

Is there a possibility to make this work?

Thanks,
John

Weird thing... Now when I try to synchronize iphone, foobar does so (copies songs to ipod from pc) but the songs are not visible in iphone. Whatever I put on the ipod, I see the "No Content" page in iphone's music

For some reason I am still having troubles getting the %albumartist% tag in the composers field. Apart from that: top notch! Luckily my iPod classic does not receive updates like that anymore .

Not unless you downgrade your phone to a version of iOS that the plugin is compatible with, and you can only do that if you have previously jailbroken your phone.

It isn't compatible with iOS 5 so better stick with iOS 4.

Aw, man.. I was hoping you weren't going to be right.

Thanks for everything you've done so far, and I hope you can find out out to keep updating it -- I donated you my lunch money for tomorrow!

FWIW though, Wifi Sync in iTunes causes Foobar to kick up this error whenever my phone gets within range:
"Apple Mobile Device: error: AMDeviceStartSession returned E8000013"

Equipment:
iPhone 3GS - iOS 5.0
Foobar - v1.1.5
iPod Manager - 0.6.9.7
iTunes - v10.5.0.142

Until an upgrade rolls around, I've come up with a (somewhat tedious, but usable) workaround for getting my music from Foobar to iTunes:
  • Create a copy script that sends files to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder
  • Use the script only when iTunes isn't running, otherwise iTunes will immediately start fiddling with the files
  • From Foobar, select the files in the iTunes folder and massage the metadata
  • -- enable ID3v2 tags, if they're not already
  • -- fiddle with compilations: move the track artist field to composer, move the album title to album artist (but that's just my way of doing things)
  • Start iTunes
  • manually add album art
  • manually enable sorting by album date
  • -- for each album: right click / Get Info / 'Sorting' tab / in the Album field, manually type the date and the album name
  • Sync, and hope for the best

Hi,

I've got fresh reinstalled win7 computer, and I'd like to avoid installation of itunes . Anyone any ideas, which drivers I have to get (and where) to enable foobar with Ipod Manager plugins? Thanks!

//edit: forgot to mention that I have iPod nano 6th gen.

Ok, after installing foo_dop (via dialog in foobar) and iPhoneCalc.dll in foobar program folder, I am getting
"Failed to query SQL post process commands. Write operations are disabled" error. Any hints?

//edit

Ok, so I googled a bit and I need "Apple Mobile Device Support" - bundled in iTunes. will try to find a way around it.

As far as I know, there are no special drivers that you need to make foobar & ipod Manager work. I have used both on several different computers, and never needed to install anything other than foobar and ipod manager themselves.

http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_dop


From my experience (under XP), you also need to install "Apple Mobile Device Support" and "Apple Application Support".
Am I wrong?

To install only "Apple Mobile Device Support" and/or "Apple Application Support", you can extract this two installers from the Itunes installer:
- download and run the itunes installer
- cancel the installation process, as soon as you have a cancel button
- look for .msi files in your temp directory (recursively)
- run the msi installer(s)

I've been using iPod Manager for quite awhile without problems (iPod Video 5.5, 240GB mod), but I just added a custom tag to some of my files to aid with playlist management - specifically, I added a tag which I called "Single" and has a value of 0, 1 or 2.  I build playlists in fb2k by searching (for instance) on "%single% IS 1".

Everything works fine, except that these files will not display their embedded artwork on the iPod.  I see the artwork just fine otherwise.  I use dbpoweramp, and it shows the artwork (under right-click -> Properties), also it is visible in Mp3tag.  I also dual-boot my iPod with Rockbox, and the embedded artwork shows there as well.  Mp3tag shows the tags as "ID3v2.3 (ID3v 1 ID3v2.3)".

I have the problem with both mp3 and m4a files (the only formats on my iPod).

Is this a known issue when using custom tags?  I'm not really crazy about using them, but needed a simple way to tag the files for my purposes.

Thanks.

Either downgrade to a compatible version of iOS or wait for an updated version of the plugin.

So, based on advice here and around, I:
- downloaded latest Itunes
- used 7zip to open the itunes .exe installer
- took out and run "AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi"
- although I got error message that I cannot start the service with my privileges, setup went through.

Now it all works, and I do not have that big blob of apple bloatware called itunes on my machine.

Thank you all for your advice!

Hey there,

i found out about this useful plugin, installed the latest version and tryed to sincronize with my iphone 4.
But i cannot find the files on my iPhone after sending them via foobar. No error messages so far and when i browse the phone via foobar i can find the files.

Second problem with flac: How to convert on the fly? I set ipod manager up to convert unsupported formats, but when i try to send flac to my iphone i get an error.

sorry for my English and thx for the help!

As an update to the above, I discovered that none of the files I am sending to the iPod are showing their artwork, even those for which I have not added custom tags, so that had nothing to do with the issue.

I found that if I Right-click a file in question -> iPod -> Update artwork, it will correctly display after that.  So it's fine now...but what has changed on my system is that I did an uninstall of fb2k and then reinstalled as a "Portable" installation - AFAIK, I reinstalled fb2k and iPod Manager with the same settings - is there any reason doing the reinstall would have broken my embedded artwork being written to the iPod database properly when I "Send" files?  I've never had to use the "Update artwork" command before.

Thanks.

Have you upgraded your phone to iOS5?  If so then this will be the cause and atm the plugin is not compatible with iOS5 atm.

Yeah I did - so now iam waiting for an upgrade.
Thank you!
But what up with converting the flac files on the fly to mp3?

[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

Hi,

I just receieved my ipod nano and tested foo_dop.
It works great with mp3 files, but when I'm trying to convert FLAC files to mp3, the conversion is very fast (too fast to be honnest), I get a ""failed to add gapless data for file: error parsing file. file may be corrupt" at the end, and the file is not readable on the ipod.

Any idea what can be the cause?
I use LAME default encoder settings and made the "verify" test via the config menu.

Just adding some details...
I've got an iPod nano 6G with 1.2 firmware.
IPhoneCalc file is installed.
I use windows 7 64 bit.

I've got no problem when syncing mp3 files on the ipod.
And no problem when I convert FLAC to mp3 on my drive.
But sending files to ipod with on-the-fly conversion gives me the error stated above.
