Now all files are being copied to your local media folder and this way keeping all interested data (such as play count, last play date, …). Now you can select them all (CTRL + A) and press CTRL + C (or right click and copy to local media). You can now connect your iPod and click on the iPod device name under ‘Devices’ in the ‘Media Library Window’ (first tab). Copy data from your iPod to the local media folder Go to preferences (CTRL +P) and change your local media folder (if necessary) to your liking under Media Library > Portables. Local media folderīy default all media files are copied in the user’s ‘my music’ folder. Playlists have to be imported manually, but that shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve tested this with Winamp 5.601 and the procedure imports all common music ID’s, including play count and last play date information. Be sure to make a backup of your iTunes folder and iTunes library files (itl and xml) in case you still want to go back! Don’t bother about the iTunes Library XML, we’re going to copy all data from the iPod itself!įirst thing to do is to synchronize your iPod one last time with iTunes. Today however, I found a nice workaround and it’s quite simple. The problem is known to Winamp, but still hasn’t been addressed. The problem lies in the way Apple handles dates (calculating seconds from January 1st 1904 (as opposed to the more familiar UNIX epoch), the first leap year in the 20th century). Now I’ve tried changing the date manually a few times doing some regular expressions with notepad++, but still Winamp couldn’t get it right. It supports iPod synchronisation but still has a major problem reading the last play date from the iTunes library XML-file. I decided to give Winamp (version 5.601) another try. I’ve tried a number of other players, but all of them lack the true basics necessary for my needs. However if you look carefully you might find some scripts that can do the work for you, but still it’s a long way to go (I tried!). Mediamonkey is another nice player with a lot of features, but can’t seem to read XML-files from iTunes. For example: Songbird, which reads the XML-file very well but dropped iPod support, probably they are afraid of Steve Jobs. Some are really nice, but lack iPod support. Now I looked around and tested a lot of players out there.
#WINAMP FOR IPHONE 6 SOFTWARE#
I don’t need any other software stuffed down my throat containing drivers, connectors, features, ads,… for Apple hardware which I’m not planning to buy!

#WINAMP FOR IPHONE 6 WINDOWS#
In my case I just need a mediaplayer (music player) for Windows that manages a music library and makes it easy to synchronize with my iPod Classic. Unfortunately the iTunes software keeps getting bigger with no benefit whatsoever.

It’s a player that really likes to hijack file associations. First of all I wanted to get rid of Quicktime. It took me a long while to find a decent alternative for iTunes.
