Press release edited by Applelinks senior editor Kirk Hiner

crispSofties has released version 3.1 of its iPod.iTunes synchronization software. iPod.iTunes synchronizes songs, videos, playlist, ratings, played dates and play counts in both directions between iPods and iTunes.

New in this release:

• Runs on any Mac with a PPC or Intel processor and OS X.
• Compatibility for the latest iPod firmwares that came with the iPod Updater 2006-01-10.
• Compatibility for iTunes 6.02 and Mac OS 10.4.4.
• Adding missing songs from iTunes to iPod: Audible files have not been transferred.
• The playlist prefix for the sync direction "To iPod..." was not saved in iPod.iTunes' preferences file.

iPod.iTunes can be used to:

• Keep songs, videos and playlists on different Macs and iPods up to date.
• Do a full restore of songs, videos and playlists from iPod- i.e. after a hard disk failure or if you buy a new Mac.
• Revert accident deletion of songs, videos and/or playlists in iTunes, if these are still on your iPod.
• Transfer an iTunes library from one Mac to another via the iPod.
• Update a foreign iPod which is not linked to your iTunes library (without deleting content on it or touching the link).
• Update a linked iPod (without deleting content on it as iTunes' "auto update" does when tracks on the iPod are no longer in the iTunes library).
• Clone an iPod.
