hello (how are you jeff?),

Using the latest foo_pod version with an iPod mini at the latest firmware level (1.2  - Nov. 2004 IIRC), and when I copy playlists to the iPod, it seems that :
- tracks are copied, and the DB updated accordingly
- playlist are not copied

can anyone confirm ? is there a workaround?

Also, one new feature is that if a song has iTunes SoundCheck information in its COMMENT metadata, translate that into a Soundcheck value on the iPod.

Is this an option? I mean, can you use the ReplayGain data instead? It's possible for a file to have both, sort of thing.

I don't normally have a drive letter assigned to my iPod when I connect it to my USB port (I can only get this in iTunes if I enable disk access), so how do I mount it?  I went to "Select iPod To Use" and had it automatically find an iPod, but all it does is minimize fb2k...what am I doing wrong?

I think that you could allow sync between play_counts between ipod and fb2k if the user install this mod version of foo_playcount. It stores the counts in a external database using sqlite (so no tagging). If you will interested in implementing this, you could also point to this mod version as the only to be used with foo_pod to get this sync working.

If someone could allow quicktag to use sqlite as this mod does, this would also solve the  rating sync issues.

Interesting.  Would you mind doing a little research on this for me, since there doesn't seem to be any details in the post and I'm not familiar with the component. 

In particular, what would I need to do in order to utilize this?  Just set the metadata (PLAY_COUNT?) as normal?  And does this prevent the metadata from being written to the file?

in metadb.h:

// returns a list of metadb_handle's of everything in the database
metadb::get_all_entries(ptr_list_base<metadb_handle> & out)

// update the database from 'info', which contains meta fields
metadb::update_info(const file_info * info,bool dbonly=false);//using playable_location from file_info, return -1 on failure, 0 if pending, 1 on immediate success; may take a few good seconds to execute


in metadb_handle.h:

// for a given metadb_handle, get the value for a specific meta field
metadb_handle::handle_query_meta_field(const char * name,int num,string_base & out)

Thanks, working fine now.  Just a quick question about Enable Synch...this only applies to audio files and nothing else on the iPod, I hope? (i.e. it won't touch any other files I have stored on there?)

Also, seeing that the 3G now supports multiple on-the-go playlists, I was also wondering if anyone knew whether the 3G now also supports line out SoundCheck. Does it?

I get the following warning when I load my iPod playlists:
WARNING (foo_pod) : Unable to parse Play Counts file 'v:\iPod_Control\iTunes\Play Counts' (error 13)

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Is there any particular function in foo_pod which allows me to search for orphaned files, and adds them into the iTunesDB itself? Restoring the DB is a nightmare, where all my playlists (both smart and dumb, as I so call it ) are set and defined.

I clicked the "Fix Skipped Songs on the iPod" (without knowing what it was for), and it showed this:

Code: [Select]

INFO (foo_pod) : iPodService version 13
INFO (foo_pod) : iPod Firmware Version 2.3 (0x00030001)
INFO (CORE) : startup time: 547 ms

INFO (foo_pod) : WriteITunesDBFile: DeleteFile(j:\iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesDB) succeeded
INFO (foo_pod) : iTunesDB successfully written

It prompted me that 85 songs were found, but the song count in the DB still showed 2172 songs.

Any gives for this? Am using 0.9.9d (or whatever the last revision was, I've lost count.  )

EDIT: I've realised that the "Fix Skipped Songs on iPod function renamed the files on my iPod, but it did not update them accordingly on my iPodDB...  Gotta rebuild the DB.

Nah, I somehow dislike these animations on transfers.
Why not go for something more PIXELIZED  

like this ersatz  :
