5.6 and ipod - can't see music on ipod after transfer

[djohnson123]

I'm running 5.6 Pro on Vista Home Premium.
When I use winamp to put music on my 4G Nano, the music appears to load as always but after I detach it and try to access the music on the ipod I get a message saying that I should use iTunes to sync the ipod and i can't see any music when I use the menus on the ipod.
I loaded the ipod using Winamp 5.56 and all is well. I try 5.6 again - no music.
Anyone have a fix or advice ?

have you made sure you're using the newest revision of 5.6 (is build 3085 at the moment). best to have a look at the ipod updates in http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=324322 if not done so already.

I have the exact same problem. Just downloaded the latest build to make sure.

Win 7 here. Nano 4G.

Had no problems whatsoever until updating the software.

Hi

Have you installed the pmp_ipod update yet?

I downloaded and installed the latest version then applied the update pack but I get the same results.
In Winamp i can see and play the music on the ipod but once i eject it the ipod doesn't know it's there.

Both the update pack & ipod_update have been updated again.
Hopefully this time for real....

after installing the latest update and new .dll file, closing & opening winamp, I'm still getting the same problem.
Maybe I'll wait until 5.6.1 comes out.

I thought I'd try again :
rebooted
did a fresh install of 5.6 - OK
ran the winamp_update_pack - OK
ran the pmp_ipod_update - fail
now when I run 5.6 and plug in my ipod I see two instances appearing.
I can add music to instance A and instance B doesn't see it and vice versa and neither one sees music added using winamp 5.56
When I eject A I can no longer add music to B
But ... there is bright side. At least now when I add music, the ipod can see it after being ejected.

My head hurts ...

Hmmm, strange....

You've definitely only got one instance of pmp_ipod.dll present?
(ie. there's no pmp_ipod(2).dll in the Winamp\Plugins folder)

And there's no 3rd-party ml_ipod plugin present?

Can we see your List of Plugins, please.

By the way, there's no need to install the pmp_ipod_update if you've already installed the Update Pack.

Silly me ...
I had renamed the bad .dll and left in the directory. After I deleted it everything seems OK.
Thanks for the help.

oh, but wait ... I installed 5.6.01 just now an added a whack of stuff to my ipod and when I ejected it ... there was nothing on it ! But when I opened it again in winamp - there it was ! Sound familiar ? Must be hell troubleshooting stuff like this !
back to 5.56 for me

Oh man....
It's working fine on Mini, Shuffle & Classic models.
We're searching around for a Nano 4G, bear with us.....

[djohnson123]

just to make sure I'm not crazy, I rebooted the PC, renamed the winamp folder and did a fresh install, opened the ipod in winamp, deleted all the stuff on there, ejected it, disconnected it, plugged it in again, reopened it in winamp, added new songs, ejected it, unplugged it and there was nothing on the ipod.

Let me know if this version of pmp_ipod resolves your issue. Close Winamp and unzip this into your plugins folder - usually c:\program files\winamp\plugins. It should overwrite an existing file.

I have an ipod nano 5G and Winamp cannot see it... with this work with the 5G also?
