<![CDATA[Songs don't play after being copied to an iPod Shuffle (2nd gen)]]>After I select a song (in MP3 format) and click Copy to Device -> IPOD -> OK the song is transferred in the iPod flawlessly. When trying to play it though, it does not play. Therefore, I'm forced to use a workaround, which I really want to stop using since it is a very bad, hacky and old implementation for that job.

I remember reading somewhere that it is an issue with libgpod.

Even so, can it be fixed in Strawberry? I can test any potential patches if needed, just lemme know.

If I ever get to update/fix it, I'll open up a PR in that repo 👍

No that is someones fork, the official repository is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/gtkpod/libgpod/ci/master/tree/ (as you can see it's been dead since 2014).

I have a fork here: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry-libgpod it mainly adds CMake support and I looked into modernizing some of the C code.

In the future, once I improve my programming skills, I might try hacking it / creating a maintained libgpod version.

This the URL to the official repo of libgpod, right?
https://github.com/fadingred/libgpod

If not, which is it?

Most likely it's not supported by the libgpod library, there is no development on it anymore. Apple did a lot of stuff to prevent 3rdparty software from using their players. It's not very likely that someone will look into this, considering that these players are discontinued.
