Press Release Edited By Applelinks Contributing Editor Charles W. Moore
Unlike other iPod software to copy songs off the iPod, iPod.iTunes does real add-synchronization, even in two directions if desired:
 Source  TargetÂÂ
 iPod  --->  iTunes
 iTunes  --->  iPod
(from iTunes to iPod is especially useful if you want to synchronize from iTunes to a non-linked iPod)
iPod.iTunes evaluates the source for songs, videos and/or playlists that are not in the target and only adds these seamlessly, avoiding duplicates, saving your time. Unlike iTunes' "auto update" function iPod.iTunes generally does not delete content in the target. iPod.iTunes can also transfer song dependend data like "My Rating", "Last Played", "Play Count", album artwork, etc...
• 8 synchronization modes in 2 directions (from iPod to iTunes and from iTunes to iPod).
• Simple one click synchronization
• Option to choose songs manually if you don't want to synchronize them all. You can listen to songs before you choose to transfer them.
• Songs and playlist entries can be synchronized together or separately. If the songs on the iPod are already in the iTunes library and you only want the iPod playlists, you can use the playlist synchronization alone.
• With every song synchronization iPod.iTunes creates a date&time stamped playlist in iTunes containing the songs which were transferred. This gives the option to easily add those songs to existing playlists or to create new playlists from the transferred songs.
• Support for the iPod's "On The Go" playlist.
• Copies by default seamlessly to the iTunes music folder and creates a folder structure based on artist/album, as in iTunes (with options).
• File naming based on song number and song name, as in iTunes.
• File formats: MP3, AAC/MP4, Protected AAC (iTunes Music Store), Audible audio books, Podcasts, Apple Lossless, Video.
• Support for Windows-formatted iPods.
• iPod.iTunes can run directly from the iPod, so it's always there when you need it.
• Registration is independent of the computer. You can just connect your iPod to any Mac without registering every machine.
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 (see Help menu in iPod.iTunes).
