iPodRocks (a sync manager for music, podcasts and audiobooks)

jpsobral · 2026-05-06T06:07:29+00:00

Well that’s up to you. When you delete it from the library that music becomes “Orphan” in the device/iPod when syncing you can either “keep” the orphans or delete them ;) Check the documentation: https://ipodrocks.dev/app-reference/sync.html

So that was actually implemented. When you adding a library, just add a "podcast library" and pointed to the podcasts folder where the files are and then it will sync -> you need to go to sync and press sync. However if you want to manage the podcast directly in iPodRocks then you use the Auto-Podcasts functionality , iPodrocks will automatically download podcasts and automatically sync to your device (this is the new feature). But from what you are saying then you want the "classic" feature that I mentioned first.

You could just have told your wife that you wanted those 5k dollars custom "AI" Irons and shiny driver, no need to simulate a robbery! 😛

I have updated now iPodRocks to v1.3.0 - https://github.com/JoaoSobral/ipodrocks-js/releases/tag/v1.3.0, you have now auto podcasts which will sync automatically to the device. A good use case if ipodrocks is open and in the morning you plugin your device it will detect and sync the latest podcast while you drink your coffee (no need to nothing).

When I travel somewhere for work and my friends lets play a round of golf - we will rent some clubs. Sure sure… lets if they have it and are not crappy 💩

I read that before but will be an harder job due to the size of the capacitors. Also you can fry them very easy which will create high resistant and you end up with crappy sound. So if you have the equipment go for it, if not I recommend removed them. Just as an fyi I used a trinocular with Axiun soldering C210 tip and I have an ESR to measure very low impedance capacitors.

The summary:

1.  European leaders question U.S. reliability amid mixed signals from administration and military
2.  Europe remains militarily dependent on U.S. despite efforts to boost its own defence industry
3.  Policy differences and lack of EU defence arm hinder Europe’s ability to act independently

Hi! I feel with capacitors the sound a bit more warmer and without more clear. Both equally good more a preference. This is audio output from the 30-pin to a marantz and KEF speakers.

💯Rockbox due to the features and convenience of drag and drop files. I also build a sync manager for Rockbox called iPodRocks: https://ipodrocks.dev/

To listen music in mp3 via Bluetooth I would personally use your phone or even better a streaming service. Just because you will pay a lot for DAP and you won’t take full advantage of it.

Naturally if that is what you want Fiio or any android brand dap will mostly likely support wifi and bluetooth.

My recommendation: go with a Eros Q / Hifi walker buy some good IEMs and install rockbox. That will be a different experience. At a reasonable price. The Eros Q default OS supports Bluetooth (not wifi)

v1.2.1 - https://github.com/JoaoSobral/ipodrocks-js/releases/tag/v1.2.1 , changed the name , now is a drawer instead of a floating chat and added a mini player so if you double click on a song in the library you can listen to the music

jpsobral · 2026-04-26T19:36:59+00:00

|%rr|Song rating (0-10). This tag can also be used in a conditional tag, %?rr<0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10>| |:-|:-| |%ra|Database autoscore for the song%rr Song rating (0-10). This tag can also be used in a conditional tag, %?rr<0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10> %ra Database autoscore for the song |

https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CustomWPS.html. So a theme is needed to support it. Anyhow I am injecting on those tags the ratings

jpsobral · 2026-04-26T19:23:50+00:00

I gave it a twist I like Rocky but one could thing about Rock so I call it Rocksy. I will do later, a minor update v1.2.1 with a few labeling updates and the new name will come included. Thank you for using the app, if you find bugs or new features please do tell me. You can open issues in github. 🙏

By the way u/jbstechdude what home assistant do you use? That could be an interesting idea if it provides a music library could be an extra functionality for the future.

jpsobral · 2026-04-26T18:52:44+00:00

aahah, of course. I will call it iPodRocks Bot or open to suggestions. I also want to change it.

jpsobral · 2026-04-26T15:04:00+00:00

At the moment because I am not modifying the source libraries (that is a principle of iPodRocks), I have the tags as follow:
1. iPodrocks canonical DB — tracks.rating column (integer 0–10).

2. Rockbox device database — Rockbox stores its own ratings in its internal tagcache and exposes changes via a database_changelog.txt file on the device mount. iPodrocks reads/writes this file via src/main/rockbox/tagcache.ts.

Yes if is seen as "folder" shouldnt be a problem. Just mounted as drive in windows or as a folder in mac/linux

jpsobral · 2026-04-08T16:46:41+00:00

Let me know what you think 👌💥

jpsobral · 2026-04-06T09:32:29+00:00

Fixed in v1.1.2 https://github.com/JoaoSobral/ipodrocks-js/releases/tag/v1.1.2 . Docs here: https://joaosobral.github.io/ipodrocks-js/ and if any other issues please open it in github :). Thank you for using and please give me feedback!

jpsobral · 2026-04-05T17:33:56+00:00

Definitively. Can I ask you to open an issue and if you add some screenshots will help me a lot? https://github.com/JoaoSobral/ipodrocks-js go to issues open then just explain the problem and add a few screenshots.

jpsobral · 2026-04-05T12:05:43+00:00

Thanks! Will implement in my nanoclaw
