HI,
You can also force overwrite d_ipod.dll from renamed ZIP file, but first if you installed iPod plugin you could uninstall it first.

OK - looks like your suggestion to try MM5 was the solution. Thank you! I'm currently syncing everything over again piecemeal, but so far it is showing up correctly on the iPod classic.

So do you think the last MM4 version is just broken for iPod classics?

Strange, as I am certain that the MM4's iPod plugin already includes the fix, probably it just failed to install correctly for some reason -- or you replaced it by the old original (by re-installing MM4) ?
Maybe try to rename the 'dipod-mm4-itunes-12122.mmip' to 'dipod-mm4-itunes-12122_(3).zip', unpack it and ensure that the d_iPod.dll included is bit comparable to your current [MM4 install folder]/plugins/d_iPod.dll

Hi,
May I suggest that you install clean MM5 Portable (cancel import of existing library and First start wizard) then connect iPod while MM is Open and see if it detect it correctly and sync files?

Also you can try to right click on iPod in MM4 Tree -> Rebuild Library. Especially if you can see files on iPod in MM4.

Yes, I installed the 2021 iPod plugin late last year when this issue first happened. It fixed it at that point, but when I did a recent MediaMonkey 4 install it stopped working again. The only iPod plugin I've used in the last 6 months is the one you linked. I even installed it multiple times since the last MM4 update, but am getting the same failed sync results.

Hi, have you also tried the newest iPod plugin?

iPod classic is synced via the iPod plugin..

iPod Classic, gen 7.

I did a factory reset of the iPod and tried syncing a single album from MediaMonkey and that too failed. (Copied over but doesn't show in Music on the device.)

Hi,
What is the iPod version model, as iPod Touch uses https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/iphone-sync-plug-in/ for syncing.

I ran into this a while ago, installed the updated plugin, then it went away. Well, it's back. I installed MM 4.1.31.1919 and synced my iPod and now it is showing 0 music files again on my iPod classic. I made sure my plugin is current. (Date of the d_iPod.dll file is 2021.)

To verify it is a MediaMonkey problem, I manually deleted an album off the iPod, then resynced the album and it still showed no music. Does anyone have a solution to this issue? All the music shows via MediaMonkey, but the iPod itself only shows the files under Other instead of Music.

Sync is one way, but files can be copied to PC: https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/knowledge-base/mediamonkey-sync-iphone-ipod/copy-backup-files-from-an-apple-device/

I went to look for updates a few days ago, and all it stated was that there was an update to get MM5. No looking to do that yet, unless it would fix things.

I did the update, but nothing has changed. If I reset the Ipod, I lose all my music. And it seems like the music on the ipod won't transfer to MM. I thought about resetting, but I need a way to back my music on the Ipod up. Going to give it another shot.

iPod isn't bricked. Apples file system management changed which causes it not to see the files. Re-Sync with the updated plugin may be enough to fix it, otherwise you may need reset and then Sync again.

Lowlander, it looks like MM changed the file type. My "music" now shows up under settings on the Ipod as "other" instead of audio. The music is there, but my Ipod doesn't recognize it. Why would MM do that?
So then what are you saying; because I didn't see that there was an update, to which there was no notice, it's on me? MM bricked my 2 Ipods plus from what I've seen other people's too. I'd appreciate a fix. All my music is on MM and my Ipod. I can buy a used one online, but what if that one gets bricked too? I'd appreciate it if someone would get on this.

You should've updated the plugin before Sync. Uninstalling/Reinstalling MediaMonkey won't do anything to fix this.
