But what the purpose of manipulation like this :
"I have a solution to this, you will need Foobar2000 v0.83 and the foo_pod plugin.
 1. Copy all your files to the iPod using whatever directory structure you want.
 2. Connect your iPod to the computer.
 3. Load up Foobar2000, and select Components>foo_pod>Maintenance>Rebuild iTunesDB Database on iPod.
 4. Foo_pod will then rebuild the iPod database with all your music files, but obviously only those that are recognised by the normal firmware of the iPod (AAC, MP3, ALAC etc).
 5. You're done! One set of files accessible both by Rockbox and the normal iPod firmware.
 6. Kiss me, I rule."
And so, nobody can use AppleOS & Rockbox to listen to music with a custom directory classification ?
Thanks again

This does NOT WORK with the new 30g Video firmware...
all this did was CORRUPT my itunes library, and now NOTHING
will play in itunes! All movies are GONE... however, if I use rockbox firmware, the files (mp3s) are still there and playable, but are USELESS in itunes....
peteypiefrogworth:
Since your mp3s are still there on your iPod, you can always navigate to the (hidden) iPod_Control/Music folder on the iPod and drag all those subfolders with the mp3s back into the iPod in iTunes. It should reload them all... Actually if you do it that way it'll probably try and copy the files back into there, so you may need to go the roundabout way of dragging the folders off the iPod (deleting them from there) and then dragging them in again via iTunes. Annoying!
The foo_pod plugin doesn't work in the latest foobar2000 versions, but there's a foo_dop plugin that's even better and does work, if you google it. I'm not sure it'll solve anything much though... Unfortunately iTunes itself is the only way to *really* properly handle everything on an iPod (like gapless playback, compilation support etc).

Can I ask what you were trying to accomplish? The thread that you were following is quite old. If you want to listen to music using both Rockbox and the native firmware, just load it using iTunes and then use Rockbox's database to find it in Rockbox. Our manual explains further how to do this.
