Title: MC18 can't see my ipod classic 80GB
Post by: eliwankenobi on January 10, 2013, 12:58:20 pm

Hello

After I updated to MC18, it cannot detect my ipod classic 80gb.

Whenever I click to detect devices it does not see it. itunes can see it and I can see the files directly on the ipod, but not JRiver as it used to do.

Please help

Just echoing the issue. I have an 80Gb iPod and an iPhone4 and neither can be seen so I am still stuck with iTunes as a player. Would like to rersolve this as otherwise MC is great (still on trial).

I also have this same problem.. currently exporting my playlist to a hard drive folder, and then probably forced to use MediaMonkey or iTunes to transfer the files (after having to clean up the MP3 tags again that don't import properly)... this is becoming a REAL hassle for me... this iPod has been around for several years now... why does this bug still exist?

FIXED! When looking at other posts on this forum I came across a topic post that stated something to the effect that "Apple recommends that iPods be assigned drive letter "E" when connected to the PC. I changed around my drive letter assignments, forced Windows 8 to assign drive letter "E" to the iPod, and with the iPod already connected I then started MC18 - FIXED!

This is very good news!  When you change the rating on the iPod, does it sync back to MC?  Thank you.

Good evening from Albuquerque,

I only assign ratings from within MC18 - I build playlists for all of my songs that from within MC18 I have assigned a 5 star rating, and when I sync I only migrate over the 5 star songs (and their associated playlists).

Before I shuffled around my drive letter assignments, the iPod wouldn't show up in MC18/MC19 - I could easily see it from within iTunes or Mediamonkey.

HTH,
Scott

Good evening!  Would you mind doing a little test for me?  If you change the rating on your iPod for one track from 5 stars to 4, and sync back, does that change the rating in MC?  I have been unable to get either MC or Media Monkey to accomplish this.  Thank you.

Yes, in case anyone is interested, I have gotten this to work.  Change on 160GB iPod Classic set as E: Drive syncs (via MC) rating change (to MP3 cached file on iPod)....back in MC to corresponding FLAC top stack file and (nearly) the entire stack of other formats. 

Looking forward to customizing ratings on my collection durîng the commute as I listen...  Very nice. 

Would be nice if my upcoming Pono can do this too--changed rating on device syncs back to MC library.  Does anyone know if it will?

Thank you.
