iPad mini 6 (iPadOS 17.5.1) foobar2000 Mobile for iOS v1.6.0 (21) preview 2024-06-25 does not load iPod Library.
iPad (9th generation, iPadOS 17.5.1) foobar2000 Mobile for iOS v1.6.0 (21) preview 2024-06-25 loads iPod Library normally.
And ONKYO HF Player will load without any effort.

Tools > Media Library > iPod Library > ON

If you connect to iTunes, I can confirm that it is included in the device.

These tags are no longer loaded.

or

and

Android is fine.

 I ignore iTunes (or Music as it is now called). I simply plug in the iPad/iPhone to the Mac. Go to the Finder in the dock, ask for new finder window and click on iPad or iPhone to bring up the finder box. Tap on Files Tab and it shows all the Foobar files on my device. Great for adding extra music files from my desktop or external HD into Foobar. It’s also good for deleting or copying Foobar files from the iPad/iPhone.

I try to keep most of my valuable music files on external HD’s. I have bitter memories of a Mac crashing and wiping out years of work - such is life - lol. I can also transfer my work to a Linux back up laptop.

Apropos my iPod. I learned many moons ago not to trust Apple ever again to wipe away 160gb of music. A copy now on an Ext HD.

Enjoy the coming weekend.

iPod touch (4th generation) v1.5.2 (iOS 12.5.7) also automatically loads the iPod Library and tags (info) without any problems.
iPad mini 4 (iPadOS 15.8.2) does not load iPod Library.
Only iPad mini can't read iPod Library

@ShoeBert Thanks for the advice, I'll try it on my MacBook Pro.

I noticed that the other iPod touch (4th generation) v1.5.2 (iOS 12.5.7) also could not read the iPod Library.

I deleted foobar2000 mobile for iOS from three devices that could not load the iPod Library and installed v1.5.2 Stable.
Then, the iPod Library will be automatically loaded. Let's wait and see what happens.
