I pick a playlist that contains .mp3's and choose Send
To and choose iPod

it transfers the songs and then it crashes, or it
transfers and then if I click on the ipod playlist it
crashes.

Using an iPod Nano 4Gb, software version v1.1

works fine with iTunes

help! I'd much rather use ml-pod than itunes...

thanks

    sorry, I should have mentioned that I DID try the latest
    alpha (p08) and same problem occurred.

    I will now try p09.

    thanks

    okay - so I uninstalled Winamp, deleted the Winamp
    directory, reinstalled Winamp 5.24 Full, then installed
    ml-pod 1.42p09, and it's still crashing after the transfer.

    here's a video that shows the entire sequence... from
    install to crash.

    http://machine3d.com/temp/mlpod142p09.wmv (1.7Mb)

    I'll try again using default Winamp install options, but
    I'll bet it crashes, too.

    thanks

    okay, so I uninstalled Winamp & deleted the whole directory
    again -- then I reinstalled with all the default options
    (Winamp 5.24 Full), and then installed ml-pod 1.42p09.

    then I formatted the iPod

    then I transferred a playlist and it crashed again. Seems
    pretty consistent!

    Please let me know what I can do to help troubleshoot this...

    thanks!

    Thanks for the video, that is really helpful. How did you
    create that?

    What concerns me is that there are several songs that seem
    to be transferred without a name (when the dash shows in
    the transfer window).

    Are the songs on the iPod after the crash?
    Can you enable transfer logging in the prefs, and send the
    tarnsfer log. And all the debuglog*.txt files (see the FAQ
    for more information).

    Thanks.

    Please read the ml_ipod FAQ, section "Winamp crashed when I did
    XYZ with the iPod plugin, what should I do?":

    http://www.joerobot.com/mlipodwiki/index.php?
    title=FAQ#Winamp_crashed_when_I_did_XYZ_with_the_iPod_plugin.2C_w
    hat_should_I_do.3F

    and then attach the requested files and give the requested
    information.

    Without that information, I can not reproduce any bug or give
    any further help, sorry.

    And one more test: Could you try with a very small playlist
    (2 or 3 songs) where all of them are in the ML and the
    artist and title is shown correctly. Crash again?

    hi achim66,

    I just installed the new p10 version and did the tests you
    wanted. Transferring a small list that has complete tags
    works fine. In fact, transferring a list of 10 tracks that
    do NOT have complete tags also works fine. But when
    transferring a ~large list (72 tracks) that has incomplete
    tags... then it crashes again.

    Am attaching the log file...

    Creating the video file was done with Camtasia Recorder -
    very useful.

    Again, please send the debuglog*.txt. And once again my
    question (that is important for me): Are the songs visible
    on the iPod after the crash? Or do you have the old state?
    Or nothing at all on the iPod?

    Maybe I have to create a special version for you, with some
    more debug output. But I have to look at the files first.

    What about a large playlist with all files with tags?
    If that works, why don't you just tag all your files? There
    are a lot of free mass taggers...
    ml_ipod depends on the artist and title info that Winamp
    gives. So, if Winamp shows no title, ml_ipod doesn't have
    any, too. And I expect that this will lead to problems, we
    have a lot of songs with the same artist and title (="") on
    the iPod then.

    sorry about that -- attached is the debuglog.txt

    No, the songs are not visible on the iPod after the crash.

    If I re-launch Winamp and do a database cleanup then the
    Lost & Found playlist appears both in the Winamp Library AND
    on the iPod (and the songs are playable).

    hmmm... and I see what is definitely user error... I have
    .ogg and .wav files in my lists, so that probably has a lot
    to do with it. When I remove those and transfer everything
    looks okay... but I'll test this more.

    thanks

    Still unable to reproduce it, sorry. I created a playlist
    with 26 songs without tags and 22 with tags, all went fine.
    All *.mp3 though.

    The attached ZIP did not work, it downloaded with 0 bytes???

    One more idea: Disable the transcoding feature (It's on by
    default). The transcoder is badly broken.
    Result?

    I got it reproduced! Only a single OGG file in the
    playlist, and BANG.

    Now I could start looking for a fix... and I hope I found
    it already. Try the newest 1.42p11
