So I'm looking to completely get away from iTunes and never use it again for my iPod. However, the one feature that I absolutely feel like I cannot live without is the down convert feature (from higher bit rates to AAC 160 or something). Does foo_dop have a feature like this so I can fit my entire library on my iPod instead of picking and choosing.

Yeah its not very good though. And you have to hunt down the codecs yourself.

So I manage my ipod with foo_dop to mess with the tags. I like to use directories instead of tags bc I'm lazy. I use this script I wrote to grab the top-level parent directory of a song in my library:

code:

$puts(root_depth,2)
$directory(%path%,$sub($len(%path%),$len($replace(%path%,'\',)),$get(root_depth))))

And this one for the album, which is all sub directories (almost always just one, but it handles an infinite amount of them)

code:

$puts(root_depth,2)
$puts(depth,$sub($len(%path%),$len($replace(%path%,'\',)),
$get(root_depth)))$puts(artist_dir,$directory(%path%,$get(depth)))$ifequal($get(depth),1,'\',
$replace($replace($substr(%path%,$add(1,$strchr(%path%,$get(artist_dir)),
$len($get(artist_dir))),$len(%path%)),'\'%filename_ext%,),'\',' - '))

(root_depth is the depth of the media library's path... eg c:/music is 2)

However it never updates the tags when I move stuff around in my folders!! This is super annoying because I end up with folders I've put away in subdirectories still at root level in my Artist list. I have tried rewrite database and it does nothing. Advice?? Next moves?? edit: Fixed table breakage.

Does anyone know of a way to apply sort order data to items in the columnsui album list panel?

I got a mac and I miss the file-based browsing of foobar. Is there anything else out there with a filebrowser pane or window? I'm using Clementine now but it's really slow.
