Ipod copying - nothing showing up

Post by anonbeat »

I tried today with a ipod nano 5th generarion and ipod video 30GB. With both of them transfers was very fast and appeared in library with no problems.
Can you right click over the ipod library once it is open and go to the bottom item of the menu which should contain the name of the ipod and then properties and tell me the properties you have set there.

Thanks for your help

Screenshot of the properties is attached.
The transcode to: mp3...'unsupported formats only' seems a bit odd but the only other option is 'always'

Please select audio formats to mp3 and m4a, for covers select embedded.

That is the problem. It was transcoding all formats to mp3 as the files was not listed as supported because you have no format set.

Can you check again once you correct the settings please ?

That's it, I wiped the ipod and re-copied everything with the settings you advised and it's playing normally & copied over a lot quicker.

I'm embarrassed it was such a simple thing of not having the formats set up, though I presume it must be an ipod default or something.
Still excellent work Anonbeat, thanks for all your help on this. I wouldn't have been able to diagnose this without you.
