This appears to work, although it made everything that had previously been synced by itunes fall under the "Other" category. I'll try a reset of all of the ipod data and a full sync with MM. This might make a decent workaround for now.

"1. Before starting, REMOVE all the songs from your iPod using iTunes. 2. Start foobar2000 and sync songs to your iPod with foo_dop as usual. 3. When you're done, start up iPhoneBrowser (or SSH/Mobile Terminal) and in the left hand pane, navigate to /User/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes 4. In the right hand pane, delete the iTunesCDB file (NOT the iTunesDB file). 5. Start up iTunes and allow it to find your iPod. If you look in the music section, you should see all the files synced using foo_dop. 6. Close iTunes. 7. You must carry out steps 3-6 whenever adding/removing songs with foo_dop
(While reading just replace "foo_dop" by "ml_ipod" and "foobar2000" by "winamp"...

So by the looks of it both Foobar and Winamp can sync using this awkward method. Maybe MediaMonkey can work this way too. I'll try it tomorrow.

Yep, the information posted from dbdog worked for a full sync as well. I cleared out the iTunes synced data, synced with MM and removed that one file - popped open iTunes and it fixed up the library with all music/podcasts/playlists from MM. The only oddity at the moment seems to be some of my album art is messed up - but I'll deal with that one for the time being.
So - for those of us with jailbroken devices, this will make a decent stop-gap until full support is ready.

Can I ask what version of MM and other software you are using please?
I'm using iTunes 8.2 (and have cleared all music out within iTunes and done a sync( and confirmed this on the iphone as having no music))
I have followed the guide to iPod sync on here:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... _ipod_sync
But when I sync on just one album, I get the dreaded "The iPhone/iPod firmware is not compatible with this version of MediaMonkey. You'll be able to view the contents of the device, but will not be able to write to it."
iPhone 3G running OS3.0
Meda Monkey 3.1.0.1256
What am I doing wrong please?

Got a little further, found the latest d_iPhone.dll from another OS3.0 thread which has now started my sync.

Next problem. I sync fine, then deleted the CDB file as per the instructions, but upon starting iTunes i get:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "My iPhone".
Goto the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click restore to restore this phone to factory settings."
Basically i bricked the thing!
Luckily, iPhone Browser takes a backup of the deleted file, so i was able to put it back in the correct location, restart iTunes and all was okay again.
But i'm now left with shed loads of music on my phone that i can't do anything with.
Please HELP!

Mickwall, the same thing happened to me - it bricked my iphone. Unfortunatly I was not able to find the deleted file with iphonebrowser (I might have closed it after deleting the file, oops) and I had to redo my whole phone, jailbreak again and I'm back where I started with no ability to add new tunes w/o itunes. Boo hoo!
Here's a bit of good news:
The new version of Copy Trans Manager released yesterday allows for music and video transfer to and from iphones running 3.0! It's free and it works great!

Phew, it least it wasn't just me..... sorry to hear you had all the hassle though!
I'll take a look at copy trans manager in the interim.
Will it start writing to all my MM files though? i don't want it messing with tags and the suchlike....... copy and go would be good.

I don't think Copy Trans Manager will do anything to your tags unless you ask it to - they seems to be serious about creating a user friendly alternative to itunes that's lightweight and doesn't mess with your data. I'd try it on a couple of albums and verify but I imagine you'll be pleased.

Has there been any progress supporting the 3.0 firmware in MM? I've found a bug item by Randy but without showing any updates...
Best regards,

Bump.
Can somebody address this? If you can't fix this your product is dead to me.

See this thread containing a link to a beta .dll that works. It still has some minor bugs but it works for me.

PS: Can someone sticky this thread? The one in the link above replaces it, no? Thanks
