ml_ipod for other players?

thechrisl · 20th July 2011, 01:58

I've been using ml_ipod for a couple years now with a Nano G2 and for the most part it has been great!

Recently I picked up a Sansa Clip+ and, sorry, but Winamp pmp is sorely lacking when it comes to importing playlists (using Portable Media Player Support of course, not ml_ipod).

I loved the fact that ml_ipod was smart enough to decode my m3u playlists, go find the files in different directories (even network drives) and quickly copy them to the Nano. I guess I am really spoiled now. For some reason, Winamp pmp can't pull it off. It copies over an empty playlist and puts the files in a different directory.

So, suggestion... Since it appears Apple has done their very best to keep people from using alternate software, can we take the great resources that went into making ml_ipod and develop something just as great for those other devices out there? Please?

yet you've never made a bug report about that issue (that i can see from your posting history). if it's broken then report it in the proper part of the forum so it can be checked over and possibly fixed. posting something like that in this forum generally gets no notice (was only from a spam post i ventured in here).

nothing is stopping you (or finding someone to do it if you cannot code) to look at the ml_ipod code and try to re-use what is wanted whilst pairing it to a different device handling. but as ml_ipod is basically dead now, i wouldn't expect anything from abu, etc.

I don't know about the Salsa, but some mp3 players can be loaded as if they were a usb drive.
ml_iPod works well that way. Maybe that could help?
