Winamp Portable Media Player Support

[CraigF]

If you currently have a media player that is either a Creative Nomad, an iPod, or a PlayForSure device, and you have tried it in Winamp 5.2 with the new ml_pmp plugin, could you please post the outcome below.

I would like to collect a list of known working devices, and known problem devices in an effort to better advise people when they come with support issues, and potentially identify problems that can be fixed.

Please post in the format:

Device Manufacturer + Model Number
Firmware Version (if known)
Link To Product Website (preferably in english with available technical specs)
Working/Not Working
Plus, any additional comments.

In an effort to make it easy to parse through this thread, please keep it brief.
Any other PMP issues etc can be posted in this thread instead.


Cheers,
Craig


[edit:

Creative Muvos are not supported currently. This IS NOT A BUG. Update: this is now being worked on by Nullsofts newest intern.

For information regarding making your own pmp plugins which use the ml_pmp GUI, refer to this thread.

Thankyou,

Will

Firmware: 1.11.01

Windows OS: WinXP sp2
Working OK

IMPORTANT

If posting about any iPod, then please first make sure that the old 3rd-party ml_ipod.dll plugin is NOT present. There will certainly be a conflict if both ml_ipod and pmp_ipod.dll are concurrently active.

And as Will said in the edit above, Creative Muvos are NOT currently supported by pmp_njb.dll, ie. we know about this, so there is no need for anyone to post about it here.

Please do not post about ANY devices which are not covered by the currently supported pmp plugins. If the 3rd-party gUSB plugin recognizes your device as a drive, but pmp_p4s doesn't, then even if your device says it's playsforsure compatible on the manufacturer's website but not on the model itself, then this means that you probably need to upgrade the firmware to the latest version first. Be warned that a firmware upgarde will reformat the device, so be sure to have all your files backed up first. Also note that p4s only works on Windows XP or higher (so remember to include Windows OS and firmware version in your post).

Apple iPod Black 60GB (MA147LLA)
Firmware: 1.1
Interface: pmp_ipod.dll

Working: OK


Comments about the plugin (iPod):
I would to suggest, if possible, to support MPEG-4 video identification not just by extension... the .mp4 and m4v files are recognized like audio, this doesn't makes possible to sync the major part of videos supported by iPod Video 5G (this is a deeper problem, that is up to the media library)

I appreciated the transfer speed rate in the old ml_ipod plugin, i think it would be very nice to se it again in the new one.

It would be great to see also the actual used size in the portables view, and number of files too.

by now i think it's ok, waiting for all the features that are promised!

EDIT: OOPS, i forgot... YOU RULE!

Sony Walkman NW-A1000 6GB even if I know that's it's not in your ask list...
Firmware: 2.01
Appears like a HDD un a section called "devices" under "portables", can read files on it, but no informations (Tags)
Using gUSB v1 build 005 plug-in
Hope you could make it working with winamp, their software sucks!!

[CraigF]

@smallseb, apologies, this thread is specifically for devices that Winamp should already support.

Sony devices are currently unsupported.

Please people, dont post a bunch of wishes. What we want to see here is just that the device works, or does not work, and if certain functionality is not working for whatever reason (e.g. device recognized but capacity reported wrong, device recognized, but attempts to transfer fail) please post a quick summary.

Many thanks.

now, from reading what you've posted i can see something of an issue here with things, you refer to november (05 i presume) and you're wondering why it doesn't work when your firmware is dated 8 months prior to that... or am i just missing something here?

Syncing works now, just had to wait longer....but I got the impressions that he syncs too many files. So I deleted all the files on my Ipod, and synct sucessfully the empty ipod with my Media Library. Fine so far. But now I added one album, so syncing should add one album, but it does try to add several albums that are already on the ipod....not good

Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB
Works great - Media Library shows the device correctly, file transfers work great too.

Now, it would be nice to cram my 80GB of music into the 60GB portable!

[daranz]

Device: iRiver H10 20GB US
Firmare: v2.51
Interface: WMP MTP/Plays-for-sure

Filetransfer, database fetching and database syncing after adding new files seems to work fine. Ejection through the button in Winamp does not seem to work fine - it removes the device from the list in Winamp, however the device does not report OK to disconnect.

Applle ipod, 4GB nano
Model number: MA107LL

i downloaded winamp 5.2 and soon as i did my ipod stopped working with it, and when i unplugged my ipod, all my music was gone except for 1 band and when i plugged it back it the ipod icon did not show up, only thing that did was a playlist. and now the playlist is gone.

[geemoney]

iPod, 40GB, not working. I upgraded to Winamp 5.2, and as soon as I did, the iPod support lost all track of syncing. Now, instead of trying to compare, or say, sync, all that happens is it tries to send my whole media library. Every time. 7k+ songs. Ugggh. 5.1X was great, and I look forward to the updated iPod support, cuz I hate using iTunes.

I'm refering to november 2004. HP was 4 months late delivering the new firmware.

[crashin]

iPod, 40 GB.

Well, it doesn't look like it's working. When I tried synching, Winamp started doing *something*, however now it's just locked-up (for about 10 mins). I can see on my iPod's screen that it's being updated periodically, but I can't imagine with what (there was only 1 song that should have needed to be added to my iPod).

How do I get the old iPod plug-in back? How do I even get back into Winamp without losing my iPod's music library?

**UPDATE**
Ok, right after I posted this, Winamp came back to life. BUT...it's synching my entire music library again (7K+ files). So, if I had to recommend something, I'd ask that you add the ability to confirm the files to be synched BEFORE synching begins (the way Will Fisher's iPod plug-in functioned pre-5.2).

[bunklung]

Make/Model: Dell DJ 30G
Firmware: v.2.20.07, A02
Status: Working
Comments:
Please add a "copy to PC feature"
Please add a seamless workaround to "play song/playlist directly from device" (maybe some sort of temp copy to PC then play the file locally)
Please add an export/backup/restore (drag and drop ) for portable device playlist(s) to PC.

Thanks guys. You guys rock! I'm this close -> <- to going Winamp Pro! Keep up with the great features! You guys never seem to have a problem with giving people exactly what they want

It doesn't appear to work at all; the ML simply doesn't see it, even though it's a Plays For Sure-device.

[QOALsoft]

Update On my Iriver (t30mx firmware 1.60 mtp play for sure), Winamp crashs when trying to send any files to it.
