Dude, you rock! Searched high and low for an answer to this one, and nothing seemed to take a jailbroken phone into account. Worked like a hot damn!

The only thing that I had to do differently, though, was follow the path laid out by Foam. I’m no expert, but I wonder if the path you have, /private/var/root/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/ is relevant to an older firmware? I followed the path laid out by Foam and it was perfect (/private/var/Mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/).

In any case, thanks very much for figuring this one out!

Thanks so much for this… I’m fairly new to the iPhone (a week) and have only owned a Mac for a little over a year, but have a long geek history and am very multiplatform conversant and knowledgeable. So when I used Winamp to do an end run around Apple’s rules, was a little surprised when “no content” appeared on my iPhone’s iPod app screen afterwards. A little searching turned up this article which saved the day and now I have all the content back *including* that which I added with Winamp :D Kudos! Of course I bookmarked this site, which I will now visit regularly.

awesome man, thank you so much! I actually figured this out on my own after using iFile to track the source of the “other” stuff that was clogging up my iphone…..but i took the dummy route and just deleted the whole directory and found out afterwards it wouldnt sync

but after recreated the directories it works like a charm

You mean “/private/var/Mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/” right?

THANK YOU!!! I used WinAmp to add some extra songs onto my iPhone, and then the whole Library disappeared! The songs were still there, but all I got was “No Content” when I clicked the iPod icon on my phone (eeeeek!). Your tips prevented me from rebuilding my jailbroken iPhone yet again. Thanks dude!
