IOS Ipod Library Access [ANE]

Hey Everyone,
Just putting together an extension to get tracks from your iOS library into AIR as Sound objects inorder to access their SampleData. I haven't seen one around that needed what I wanted so I thought I'd share it with you all.
At the moment you can request the whole library information and it will all be returned in a custom Vector of ILMediaItem's, which have all the properties of the tracks in them. You can then use the ILMediaItem.ipodID to request the track from the native iPod Library and it will physically extract the track file from the library, and copy it to wherever you like, and return the URL once it's copied.
Debug development is available too, so you can run the thing on Desktop while you develop.
Docs are here:
http://audiobrush.com/developer/ipodlibrary/docs/
Extension is here:
http://audiobrush.com/developer/ipodlibrary/IpodLibrary.ane
Let me know if you think there could be some additional features added to it, but it's there for now =).
Hope you like...
O.

Hmm, strange, I'm a little lost as I've updated the code on my machine and it's not revisioned at all, so the line number is a little useless to me actually. I've had a look through that method, and I can't see anything that would be null.
In the console do you see:
"Ipod Library: Running in desktop mode, please set Debug Properties before proceeding further."
When you run on a desktop?
Are there MP3 files in the directory that you are pointing to?
I should probably blow the dust of my old laptop and fire up Windows to test this, but I really can't see why it would be different to Mac OS X.
I'm actually in the process of playlists as I type this. So they will be here in the next week or so, it willl be part of the ILFilterType.PLAYLIST when you call the getLibraryOf method. Other features coming up are the ability to switch between, iPod Library, Spotify, Pandora and SoundCloud.
I will keep this thread updated.
As for a full version I'm a little reluctent to give it out a version which lists everything. Maybe once I know what I've created I will have lite and premium versions. If you send us a PM i'll get back to with a full version.
Let me know about my questions and I'll try get this fixed for you.
Sneak Peak at how I'm using it =) : https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/517dc37959cfd16d03001813/5251b2f39e228e4816003 f58/00ac8b83fb3c14a750c7e31199157ef2/photo.jpg

5G iPod- Can't access my iPod library in iTunes

Help! I can see the songs on my ipod library but I can't access them. I can't put videos into my library, but my video podcast manage to find there way into it. What am I doing wrong? i've installed the newest update and reset the ipod, but no luck... any suggestions? thanks... it's driving me crazy...

We now have the same problem. From our iMac we can see our PC's iTunes library, but cannot load it; the progress bar runs indefinitely. The PC, however, can see the iTunes library on the iMac. This used to work.

Looking for a way to access iPod Library via Front Row

I am looking for a way to browse my iPod library in Front while my iPod is connected to my computer.
Does anyone know the trick?
iMac Intel Duo Core Mac OS X (10.4.4) iPod

All of my music is backed up on an external hard drive connected by FireWire to my desktop PC. I have enabled Share Music so that when I open iTunes on my iMac, I am able to access all the music on my external hard drive wirelessly. If I highlight the shared music in the Source column and then turn on Front Row, I have access to all the music on my external hard drive (wirelessly) through the remote control. I would imagine that since the iPod appears in the Source column when it's properly docked, you should have access to it through Front Row.
I don't know if this will help, but good luck!

How can I install my husbands iPod/library on the same computer that I have my iPod/library on? Can someone send me the step by step instructions? I was a windows computer. Thanks!

So we just got a new computer and I was able to successfully add my iPod/library to it. However when I tried to add my husbands iPod/library to the computer his library didn't show up. He is ony able to charge his iPod but cannot see his library. I tried adding another account/admin to my computer and download itunes with his ipod that way but it said there was another library and it couldn't access his library song list. His ipod is showing up on the left side however when I click on it there is nothing displaying. So my question to you or what I am trying to figure out is how can I get his ipod to show up with his library if he plugs in his ipod? Do I need to create a new account and if so how do I do it? I have a windows computer. Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to do this? He is going crazy not being able to access anything.
Thanks!

Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

TS1424 i have downloaded audiobook but is not showing up on my ipod to access. how can I get it to show up on the ipod and access it?

I downloaded an audio book and it shows in my library but is not on my ipod to access. What do I do?

If you downloaded it directly on your iPod then it should be in the Music app (or iPod app if it's an iPod on iOS 4 or below) - when there are audiobooks on the device you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app. If you downloaded it on your computer then you will need to sync it to you iPod via the Books tab, in a similar way to how you use the Music tab to sync music (audiobooks are currently a one-time only download so you won't be able to re-download it on your iPod).

Bluetooth and iPod library

Im having an issue with my iPod library going to my head unit in my truck. It will play the music through Bluetooth but will not send the library so I cannot browse using the head unit. It's a jvc avx740 and the manufacturer says that the unit is compatible with the phone and this should happen for me. I need some help if there's any to be had...My iPhone is a 4 with ios 5.0.1

Kilted - I can control the play and pause and previous and next functions through the head unit, the iPod library is not accessible through Bluetooth. If I want to change artists or playlists I need to get my phone out and do it there.
Rudegar - the head unit says that it supports avrcp 1.3 and that the iPhone should be able to do this. I have followed their suggested instructions without any success
Hope that helps explain a little better where I'm at...

How do I move my Ipod Library to a new computer?

So I have a new computer and my husband and I both have Ipod's. The new computer will reconize my ipod but it does not recognize my ipod library it keeps wanting me to switch my library to my husbands. Help!!

"The new computer will reconize my ipod but it does not recognize my ipod library it keeps wanting me to switch my library to my husbands"
I presume here that your husband currently has his music on the new computer and you are now trying to connect your iPod. If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. If you want to keep your existing songs on your iPod go to Edit>Preferences>iPod>Music tab and change the update setting to "manually manage songs and playlists"
There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update as described above: Managing Your Songs Manually
If you have no music on the computer then there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

How do I charge iPod w/ a different computer without losing my iPod library

I usually use the iPod with my G5 at home. Last time I travelled I tried charging the iPod with the USB cable and my laptop. Unfortunately, it decided to use the library of iBook.
I know there is a setting for manually updating, etc. Isn't that option only available when the iPod is plugged into the computer? I would rather do it now while I am at home then on my trip and lose my tracks.
So to sum up, my question is... How do I charge my iPod with a second machine and not lose my iPod library?
Thank you so much in advance!
Bobby

Since you have a fifth generation iPod and a machine with FireWire ports, you can do this by plugging it in through the FireWire connection; that iPod will charge but not sync through FireWire. Otherwise, set the iPod to update manually when it is hooked up to the main machine, or use these instructions to change the synchronization mode.

Internal Hard Drive Full - Want To transfer my iPod library to external HD

I have a 60GB iPod and my desktop's hard drive is full therby preventing me from downloading anymore to my iPod. I have a 300GB external hard drive that I want to move everything to, especially my iPod Library. HELP!! How do I do it?

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod. This does preserve playlists/playcounts/ratings.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
