MediaMonkey forum

There were already several users asking for support of Motorola phones that have iTunes installed. We finally managed to implement/test the first version, you can download a plug-in from http://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/d_iPod.dll

Don't forget that it's the very first/untested version and so it might contain some bugs.

Let us know how it works for you and your phone...

Jiri

P.S.: All features should be supported as in case of iPod, i.e. synchronization of track, album art, ratings, playcounts (both even back to PC), etc.

Jiri,

First of all, nice job. The songs transferred over fine onto my motorola itunes phone. I could navigate by artist, album, etc... And the songs all played well!

The only thing that did not seem to work was the album art. On the screen of my phone, instead of the album artwork, it showed a black box.

Any ideas?

Try to do what's described here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 9767#59767 and e-mail me the result.

when i transfer my album art works and it all seems to work except.. some of the songs only play for 5 seconds then go onto the next song. does anyone else have this problem?

The phone seems to have problems with some mp3s (e.g. I remember that it couldn't have played 192kbps mp3). Isn't it a problem with a VBR file? In such case the autoconversion would help.

Jiri

hm... that would explain why only some work and other don't.. i shall start converting and let you know how it goes.

yea that worked. i converted all my songs to 128 CBR mp3 and it fixed them all.

thanks

128 CBR and its working like a champ. Artwork and all. Thanks Jiri.

Ok, i tried to use it I have around 230 songs transfered with iTunes on my phone, and when I connect to media monkey I can't seem to play them on the comp, nor I am able to add artwork correctly or album names :S

What settings do I have to adjust or modify?

Thank you MediaMonkey!

Version 2.5.4.978 w/ the new d_iPod.dll work beautifully w/ the Motorola SLVR!

I wanted to use my micro-SD adapter to send files to my micro SD memory card via my card reader since the USB cable transfer was sooo slow.

With Media Monkey I:

1. I send the files via Media Monkey to my memory card.
2. put the memory card back in the SLVR
3. plugin the usb cable to the SLVR
4. right click on my SLVR in Media Monkey
5. update the database file (so itunes on the phone understands what's up)

Voila!

It works!!!


I went to see if the russian software Moto Tunes had fixed their program but unforuntely they had a problem with the songs being sorted alphabetically and not by song #.

If you don't have a micro-SD adapter get one and enjoy the fast mp3 file transfers.



You guys rock!!!!

hmm.. album art's not working. everything else works like a charm.. i have an unbranded SLVR

actually, all i see is a blank space in place of the album art.

Hey man! I would like to know HOW you uptade your DB file! Cos i just uploaded many files into my V3i but cant play them using itunes. Maybe im uploading them to toe wrong folder?


help!

[]´s!

crap it's not working now. I've been trying to format the memory card. start fresh on itunes and start a new db and go to MM to add songs and update the db but it aint working anymore!^@$%!@*&^$^%

ok so somehow when I plugin my usb to my SLVR it doesn't detect it as a drive. you'll notice this because the autoplay scan of the drive doesn't appear.

Finally I got things back in order once

1. I did a direct synch to the card using windows media player.
2. with both MediaMonkey and Windows Media Player open -- I plugged in and unplugged my usb cable to the phone twice.
3. on the 2nd go round - the computer autoscanned the phone (appeared in both in MM and WMP) and could do a "rebuild database" with no problem in MediaMonkey.

It took me forevre to get it to work but happy now. kinda... IT TOOK FOREVER! I also deleted Apple's Itunes since it wouldn't stop opening when I plugged in my usb cable into the phone. i figured it was Fn up the db as well probably...


good luck!

ok looks like you also MUST do a right click on the phone and "safely remove device" before it works again and autoplay scans the phone.
