Posted on Thursday, January 31 2008 @ 23:22 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

The winamp ipod plugin (aka ml_ipod) is a plugin for winamp. It allows you to manage your iPod from within the winamp media library. It supports all kinds of iPods, from the classic first generation iPods, to the iPod mini, photo, nano and shuffle and everything in between.

New:

first version for iPhone/iPod touch support, more info
support for album artist field (new column, transfer from ML, new field in edit dialog...)
iPod-Tools item: Reset all playcounts to 0
entry field in advanced prefs for FWID
scan registry for FWID, if XML retrieval fails
debug output for skipped or overwritten files in copy to HD
ignore ID3 cover art if it is too small (corrupt) min. size is given with global hidden setting albumArtMinTagSize default is 500 bytes.
menu item "Reset play count" (FR:1847740)
prevent ml_ipod start if iTunes is running
prevent iTunes from opening when iPod is attached while Winamp is running (iTunesHelper.exe is suspended while we run)
if album artist is 'Various' or 'Various artists', the compilation flag is automatically set
show accurate progress bar while transferring to iPhone
show iPhone free and total space in status line
hidden setting "showAfterSyncHint"
mp3gain on single songs
hidden setting usealbumartist for the main view set "usealbumartist=1" in ipod inifile to use it
handling of ITMS purchased songs (*.m4p) just like *.aa
workaround for wrong *.aa handling in newer Winampversions: "iPod-Tools-> Fix corrupt timestamps" fixes *.aa metadata, too
hidden setting "ignoreIphoneLibs" in winamp.ini, can be set to 1 to speed up launch
highlight cursor reseting after using "Edit iPod file info" (FR:1744002)
hidden setting "showEjectError" (in winamp.ini, default is 1)

Fixed:

select iPod type dialog has no default any more
detection of brand new iPods
#1836760: Sorting Album Pane by Year not Saving
#1849885: Year column gets hidden after Podcasts view was displayed
subsitute illegal characters in albumname.jpg
removing files from DB that are already physically removed
jumptable for quick artist scrolling on classic and nano ('T' with 'The XYZ' problem, added MHOD type 35 to MPL)
NDE queries with length should be in seconds, not milliseconds
disable playback for iPhones (doesn't work yet)
disable some config items for iPhones
album artist sort menu; quick search for album artist
secure handling of almost full iPhones
"usealbumartist=1" and right-click menu items
crash with Run_MP3gain... if not in main view
video comment markers [M] etc. were only honoured if given in ML *before* transfer
reverse sync did not start from tree view context menu
