iPod Playlist

Post by Guest »

hi,

when i try to expand the playlists on the IPOD folder (i have an ipod mini connected) i get an exception EOutOfMemory in module d_iPod.dll at 00004A04 in MediaMonkey 2.4.2.874.

do ipod playlists work in mediamonkey for anybody?

btw, how can i create an ipod playlist from within mediamonkey?

thanks,
sw

I haven't had much luck with playlists on my iPod Mini from within MediaMonkey either.

However, the problem you are describing sounds a lot like a problem I had once. I think it occurred after I installed iTunes 6, so if this does not apply to you, you might want to skip it. But you can't really do any harm, so here it goes.

A background prosess runs whenever you connect your iPod to your computer. This service is called ipodservice.exe

1. Kill this process
2. Start > Run > "C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe" /service
3. Restart

At least this fixed my outofmemory problem. For more info, check out this link.

Edit: about the creation of playlists, I have no idea. I've asked here a couple of times, without getting a solid reply. Let me know if you figure something out :-)

Ipod playlists have worked great for me. Here's what I do:

1) create playlist like usual. for example call it "ipod favs"
2) connect ipod and wait until it shows up in media monkey
3) click the little down arrow next to the ipod icon in the toolbar and select 'options' (there are other ways to do this also if you experiment without having the ipod connected). This should give you a box titled 'device profile: [your ipod name]'
4) under the auto-synchronization list select the playlist you want to select. Check out some of the other options. I changed some of the settings to meet my needs better.
5) Exit the dialog and click the ipod icon to sync. don't do anything until it is finished syncing.
6) click the icon again and select the option to safetly remove the ipod.

I whipped this up really quick. Hope it helps.

Don't forget to upgrade to the latest version, MM 2.5.
