OK. Apple constantly changes iPod firmware so the iPod support breaks. But what about rockbox? It's an open source project works great on ipods no sync from songbird tough :(

I might be wrong but i think iPod is the most popular music player and MP3 is the most popular music format. I don't think it's a smart move to say OK MP3 will be probably obsolete in 5-10 years and OGG with android will rule the world so in the long term we don't really need and iPod or MP3 support :)

I don't need MP3 encoding in songbird just make my iPod work! How in the hell songbird will be "Firefox of media players" if it won't support iPods? – zibalas, on November 22, 2009 11:40

in sbIPDDevice.cpp there's :

const char *sbIPDSupportedAudioMediaList[] =
{
"mp3",
"m4a",
"m4p",
"mp4",
"aif",
"wav",
"aa",
"aac"
};

But i guess that's "old" code and now there's a "new" way to set device capabilities :). By the way is there a way to build/debug songbird on Visual Studio 2008? – zibalas, on November 10, 2009 18:50
