[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager, also known as foo_dop Options

[Andreasvb]

Menu: View > Console.

[Hans Sachs]

This says: iPod manager: Error intialising Mobile Device support: Failed to load iTunesMobileDevice.dll - The specified module could not be found.

Where can I find this missing element.

Thanks for your patience.

[Andreasvb]

Try follow the instructions on the link, install the iPod manager and read what to do.

[Hans Sachs]

Downloaded and extracted foo_dop to the Foobar components folder. The download link also wants to download 92 mB of 'gnu_cash' - is this safe/necessary? Foobar still doesn't recongise the iPod.

Have you made sure to tick "Enable mobile device support" in the foo_dop options? This is needed for iPod Touch/iPhone's to work.

Yes done - still doesn't recognise iPod. Console still showing 'Error intialising Mobile Device support: Failed to load iTunesMobileDevice.dll - The specified module could not be found. ' Problem seems to be somehow with this.

Is 'iTunesMobileDevice.dll' present in 'Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support' ?

I would try to reinstall 'Apple Mobile Device Support' and 'Apple Application Support' which are itunes components needed to use foo_dop.
To do that, you can either :
- extract this two installers from the Itunes installer (run the itunes installer, cancel and look for .msi files in temp directory) and run these 2 msi installers
- or reinstall the complete Itunes suite

Hi,

I tried using tutorials and NeroAAC to encode my FLACs as they transfer to the iPod. But even at 0.95 VBR quality, the voices sound distanced and the music echo-ey. I like dBPowerAmp and get good results in it, but cannot find what to enter into the Parameters section of the iPod Manager plugin to use dBPowerAmp to encode instead.

Alternately, if anyone knows better working settings for NeroAAC than "-q 0.95 -lc -ignorelength -if - -of %d" that could work, too.

Thanks in advance!

I am having issues with the conversion using ffmpeg. I am using the following parameters: "-i - -acodec alac %d" They are converting fine, but after the sync is done, i go to my ipod and all the files i converted, they just show the filename, which is 4 characters long, as the title, and nothing for artist and such. Its like it deletes all the tags and such. Any idea on the right parameters to use for my files? Im' converting from flac btw.

[Scourge441]

I am trying to sync to an iPod Touch, but am getting the "DB Version 5 requires iPhoneCalc.dll. Write operations are disabled" error. Except, iPhoneCalc.dll is in my foobar components folder, so I don't know why this is giving me issues.

The iPod software is v.4.3.5. iTunes is 10.4.1.10, foobar is 1.1.1, if any of that matters.

Thank you for your help.

[tolga7t]

Try and move the iphonecalc.dll to the main foobar2000 folder, not the components folder.

Hi,
Sorry I've been away a while and am catching up. Can you tell me what version of iTunes and Quicktime you have installed, and what version of Windows you are using? Also, does it happen if your iOS device isn't connected?

You will also need the foobar2000 ALAC input component installed, so that iPod manager can tag the files.

This is with Windows XP and the latest iTunes (double checked). It happens regardless of whether my iPod 3g is connected or not, but it only happens when mobile device support is turned on.

[musicmusic]

Hmm... I can reproduce a crash with iTunes 10.5, but only when running under a debugger for some reason. It seems like Apple's issue, I haven't found a workaround/fix yet... (This could be a different problem to yours though..)

With iOS5 being released tomorrow, should I just stick with my current firmware (4.3.3) or will it be safe to upgrade and still be able to use your wonderful plugin. If it makes any difference I'm using a 32GB iPod Touch 4G.

[Brent]

I have a question, which is maybe strange, but not so much considering there are not alternatives: Would it be possible to add the option so sync to nonipod devices? Seems like an option that is easily implemented, and would help me greatly.

Right now I havnt found a good was so sync the old android with foobar. I used to have an iPod and use this excellent plugin, and I just realized that, as media-apps on android usually ignore folderstructures and filename, this plugin creating its folder/file structure on my sd card would serve as an excellent android synchronization tool. The android will simply find any and all mp3's on the card and read its tags and thats that.

What do you think? It could erphaps be implemented by the plugin synching to any drive of my choosing, after a warning maybe?

[AtaqueEG]

Hello, I love your plugin, it has been very useful.

However, the latest iTunes upgrade (10.5) seems to have broken it.

I get this error message popping up whe opening fb2k:

Failed to locate function
AMDeviceNotificationGetThreadHandle

I then hit "close" and fb2k works normally, except for your plugin.

Thank you so much.

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

Version 0.6.9.7 will fix that. Let me know if you get a crash on exit though.

I might have to move all code that interfaces with the Apple libraries into a separate process..

Any plans to work on it?

[McMusic]

I can confirm problems with foo_dop an iOS 5. Yesterday I updated my iPhone and afterwards tried to sync some music via fb2k. I couldn't see the new music on the iPhone later. I then started iTunes and it showed some amount of data on the iPhone as "others", not as music. I started a sync in iTunes and it did something. Afterwards I could see the new music.
I tried that procedure a second time, but this time it didn't work out. The music din't even show up after I synced with iTunes.

One general thing I noticed: the album art is completely gone from all music, even if I synced album art via foo_dop as usual.

I hope, musicmusic is able to program an updated iOS 5 version of foo_dop. I cannot even think about changing back to iTunes...
foo_dop is the best add-on I have for fb2k!

@musicmusic: If I can help you (try out things) please let me know!

[Anomalous]

Very much seconding this.

For those who have upgraded, you may be happy to see this:

[zzeitg]

Same here, after update to iOS5 all album art gone.

I truly hope an update version of iPod manager will follow, the sooner the better. (Having to send music to my iPhone via iTunes is a real nightmare.)

EDIT: Oh God! I've just tried to add the missing album art via iTunes and it's disaster. It simply does not work for the music files which are already in the iPhone.

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