missing encoders
I don't have any encoders but mp3
They just aren't on the list of encoders when I go to "change transcoder settings" ![]() I made sure to reinstall Winamp with every encoder it listed, and it had the same problem. Now I can't put any of my FLAC music collection on my iPod. This is a relatively new computer, so possibly there is something I need to install to get it to work. |

I looked around, and I noticed that I don't have any of the enc_aac or enc_aacplus files that I think I need.
Also, I started getting an error message telling me I needed "NSCRT.dll", so I download it and that got rid of the error. Maybe if I manually change the encoder using the configuration file, then it will work. |

Transcoding is a Winamp function, not a ml_iPod function. Try the main forum.

Yes, except that they are all there and work great in winamp.
The method that ml_ipod uses is not recognizing the existence of all the encoders I have; Winamp can find them easily. I really should have mentioned that earlier. |

It appears the latest Winamp doesn't need ml_ipod for my iPod. I'll just use that then.
I hope nobody else had that problem. |

nothing current in Winamp from the last 2 years iirc should be trying to reference nscrt.dll - that usually points at an old plug-in being present (like some of the additional encoder dlls / plug-ins) were built to use.
the AAC encoder filename changed as part of 5.62x to now be enc_fhgaac.dll (due to codec library changes). renaming it back to enc_aacplus.dll would probably allow ml_ipod to find / use it. -daz |

Well, one copy, one rename, and one restart later it is still not working.
Also, during this time, my iPod died. It was over 2 years old, so naturally it starting having a problem. Sections of music would just disappear from it. Then, would reset and format itself whenever I unplugged it from a computer. No matter what software fix I tried, it would just forget the fix and go back to default when I unplugged it. Changing drive letters, formatting, update attempts, trying different computers, none of it worked. Now I have a Sansa Clip, and am very satisfied, especially since I don't have to be tied by a bungee cord to apple software. Apple sucks for trying to keep people out of their devices. Naturally, the problem would either become solved or burn out at some point. |

FOUND IT (edit well kind of) ;_; <-- tears of happiness (edit actually tears of sadness it turns out)
Go into your Winamp.ini (.../AppData/Roaming/Winamp/Winamp.ini) and add to the [ml_ipod] section 'showAllEncoders=1'. I was reading through the source code, and it looks like ml_ipod is looking for a codec starting with 'M4A' or 'MP3' (case-sensitive), so I'm guessing Winamp renamed the AAC codecs. Just be sure to not do something stupid like use FLAC ![]() This was the only reason I jumped ship to pmp_ipod.dll, but that just fucked me over royally so I needed to be able to come back. I'll file a bug report and this should be a pretty painless fix. edit The songs are not being transcoded properly for some reason. I used the transcoder with AAC with pmp_ipod.dll and it worked fine, but now not so much. |

with the last part of the comment quoted, yes it is probably simple to fix bar one issue, ml_ipod is effectively not developed as things currently stand. -daz |

This is what worked fine for me.
1. Downloaded the full version of Winamp 5.61 from here http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=328446 2. Installed Winamp v5.61 into a different folder than the current v5.62x 3. Copied enc_aacplus.dll from v5.61 into v5.62x 4. Started Winamp v5.62x. The AAC encoder from "Coding Technologies" is still available for me and I can use it from ml_ipod v3.10 as I previously did from Winamp v5.61. The transcoded files play fine in Winamp and on iPod. Happy syncing again your flac files to iPod! |

Figured newer winamp was the cause of my troubles. enc_aacplus.dll fixed things up just fine for me as well. Thanks!

Funny story: I ran into the exact same problem again somehow - and my own post from a year ago that I totally forgot about, fixed my problem.
Yay internet! |
