Rip to iPod question

You are doing nothing wrong (unless there's something you'd like to confess). The script removes the files from iTunes playlists. So, they will be on the iPod, but not in iTunes playlists. As eustacescrubb correctly points out, the tracks can be displayed in iTunes, in your iPod Source, but the files are not on you hard drive nor in any iTunes playlist.

The script was written to accomodate people who prefer to keep iPod files separate. As I wrote at the site when I first posted Rip To iPod v1.0 (http://www.malcolmadams.com/itunes/scripts/scripts08.shtml#riptoipod):
...despite my very large CD collection, I don't maintain a very large iTunes library (only about 3000 songs). So when I want to take something to-go on iPod, it usually hasn't been ripped yet. Why bother keeping it on my hard drive?

As far as navigating iPod to quickly locate tracks, this is another matter.

Ah. I think I see. The tag info isn't getting passed to the ripped files?

That is odd. I cannot duplicate the error. Files are copied to iPod, tracks' tags have correct data :confused:

Any theories, e?

Perhaps some extra info about your system and setup? What OS? What version iTunes? What version iPod software? What generation iPod?

OK, sorry.

I've got a PBG4 677 DVI running OS X 10.2.6, iTunes 4, iPod 2.0, 3rd gen 10GB iPod (with the row of 4 buttons, latest generation).

When I use Rip to iPod I cannot see any of the tracks listed in iTunes (I mean when the iPod is docked and I am looking at the tracks on it with iTunes). I don't get any playlists on the iPod though I can track down the ripped tracks using Browse > Song. But this is hard and I wish I had playlists. This happens with or without full database data on the tracks I rip.
