I used $meta(artist,0) to remap "Sort artist" field. From my understanding, this field is responsible for the list that appears when you select "Artists" on your iPod. But it didn't change anything. Artists still are displayed like this:

Artist1
Artist1, Artist2
Artist1, Artist3, Artist4

But I thought it should be just:

Artist1

Or is the remapping option made for something else? I use iPod nano 1G.

A general question based on maybe a desired feature, or something that is just not quite working right.

I have some m4b audiobooks with chapters, that work in itunes (as in the chapters are available on the ipod). This doesn't seem to happen on the ipod when synced with iPod Manager in Foobar2000. I am using the most up to date version of both pieces of software, with an iPod Classic 160 GB - the original fat one. Any ideas if this should work? If not, it might be cool to get working.

First of all, thanks for hard work making this great plugin :)

Is there any chance to have an option to integrate foo_dop with foo_plorg instead of standard playlist manager (and set the folder to synchronize with)?

It would be great to have a separate folder for iPod playlists only.

Thanks for consideration

foo_dop keeps hanging when updating gapless information while sending files to my ipod. Foobar itself is not frozen, but the dialogue box shows the process as stopped. I am not sure if it is a bug with this component or a problem with a particular file I am trying to send (I'm trying to transfer my entire library, so it's hard to tell).  Anyways, I have to disconnect my ipod before the database is written, so nothing shows up in the ipod database, although the files are in fact there. If I uncheck the determine gapless information and recover the orphaned tracks, it works, but I would like to have gapless information. Any ideas?

so, once again:

cloning an ipod! just copy paste the wohle stuff (including invisible folders and all that stuff) and it should work? or can i destroy anything with that (maybe hell get confused with the flash-memory if the ipod has something like this)?

Sorry if this is a  stupid  question  covered elsewhere but couldn't see anything , Just started using this component copied stuff over and everthing fine but the next time I started Itunes (for an update) the Sync  removed all my copied tracks.  Have I missed something  or does this mean  I need to ensure Itunes doesnt  sync??

I sync my ipod with itunes, but itune don't have artwork for my music, so I add artwork via foo_dop, but nothing change . If I sync via foo_dop, all artwork have add to my ipod
I don't sync via foo_dop because my library have 3700 file music, some file foo_dop can't add my ipod. When I use itunes, all file music was sync

Are playback statistics broken with the new 3.0 version? When I sync metadata it no longer updates my ratings, and it clears the ratings on my iPod.

Hi everyone,

I set up foobar2000 not to use the tag %album artist%, but instead to use %band%, like every other major audio software does (including iTunes). I changed ever single foobar2000 setting from %album artist% to %band%. Well, it works for the time being. Now I wonder if I have to change anything in iPod manager? I stumbled across its "remapping" page and found "Album Artist" there, and I'm not sure if I have to change something here. Any suggestions?
Yes, put something like [%band%] for the mapping.

, most Beach Boys cover art shows the cover for "Love Stinks" by the J. Geils Band!  I know I will have to delete everything and start over again.
I deleted the tracks and added them again.  Now "Love Stinks" has been replaced with a different incorrect album cover.  At least it's a Beach Boys cover this time.

I have read, in the past, that album art that is too large can screw things up on the iPod.  I try to keep art at 600x600 or smaller.  I may have a few larger.  I don't really pay attention to the size in bytes.

There's no "mixing up" of artwork from this component, and the size of the source artwork files don't matter. If your database is already screwed from some other program, then do a restore.

Otherwise the art is coming from somewhere. Don't use folder.jpg for artwork and make sure foobar2000 is not set to read it.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum. I have just started using foo_pod and loving it. Its way better than iTunes.

I have a query. I have the iPod Shuffle 3G which has the voice-over functionality. I don't see any option in foo_pod 0.6.8.3 currently to disable this feature.The changelog says that this option was added to foo_pod in 0.6.7.8 but I don't see it.

Can someone please upload the 0.6.7.8 version or tell me if I'm missing something.

TIA!
Sorry, there's no option to disable it at the moment. Well I was waiting to see if someone did want to disable it (), so I'll get on it.

Sort artist is only used for sorting, it would be the artist you want to remap if you want to change what is displayed.

Sorry, those chapters aren't supported at this time.

No plans, but are there any specs or APIs?

Use Process Monitor to monitor file I/O to identify the file, alternatively the file should show up in the handles view of Process Explorer if the operation is hung. What is foobar2000.exe CPU usage when it is stuck? Have you also checked the Event Log?

If it is the exact same model and software version then you can do that but you will have to follow it up with a "Rewrite database". Otherwise you can't.

Sorry I'm not sure what the query is; the 3700 files don't fit on your iPod using foo_dop? Can you provide more details e.g. approx. total size of the files, free space on iPod etc. if that's the problem.

I do not know.

Hey all, I think the remapping for the composer field is broken. I was using [%album artist%] to create a pseudo-album artist filter on my iPod, but it no longer works on 0.6.8.3. Using foo_dop 0.6.8.3 on fb2k 1.0.1 with an iTouch 2G running iOS 4.0.1.

Is it possible to remove the actual "iPod view" playlist from (iPhone's) iPod permanently? Or does it have to be there for the program to function properly, instead of existing just on the PC side?

It is never necessary. Presumably it's there because you synced it there.
You don't (generally) upload music to your iPod/iPhone by syncing playlists - that's iTunes thinking. You should be highlighting all the music that you want to upload, right-clicking, and selecting "Send to iPod" from the iPod menu. Well, "should": that's the way to get music on that's not in a playlist.

I use foo_dop only to pull out last.fm scrobbles actually. So I have to sync it. Right? Or is there some other way to pull out the scrobbles?

Thats a really good question. I'm waiting on my iPod Touch 4th G. and it would be perfect if I could fill it with foo_dop.

Wow.. amazing component

I just got an iPhone and I'm trying to keep iTunes completely away from my music, so this is great!

One little problem: when I send tracks to my iPhone it adds the cover art fine, in most cases. My artwork is inside each album folder, and it's named like this: %artist% - %album%(.jpg). So this is what I entered in the preferences.
However, I have many 7 inch albums, whose %album% tag is whateveralbum 7" , but since Windows doesn't accept the " symbol, I replace in the artwork filename with two '. So naturally, the artwork doesn't get added to the tracks.

Is there a way I can tell foobar to look not at the exact string, but something similar? Or do I have to retag all my 7"? (I really wouldn't want that)

Thanks for any help.

I've also tried doing %filename_ext%, and %filename%, but no luck

Pretty sure this will work:
In the preferences, make sure you have ticked "Additionally, use foobar2000 built-in artwork reader".

Then up in foobar's "Display" preferences, you have the option to have a whole list of search patterns for your cover filenames. Just have them in your preferred order:
%artist% - %album%.jpg
%album% 7''.jpg
(etc)

Then if it can't find a file named according to your foo_dop preference, it'll use whatever foobar would use to display the cover.

@musicmusic: please add support for multiplays - I use foo_dop with audioscrobbler plugin and it hurts my stats your plugin aleays reports 1 play of given unique track, no matter how many times I played that tracks. This is bit frustrating

Could somebody explain me how to add covers for my IPod classic 5G. I can't figure out where to place the covers and what to type into source script.
