rePear 0.4.1

rePear is a very useful tool for all iPod users who, for some reason, are not happy about iTunes and want to manage their music files for themselves.
With rePear, you can copy music to the iPod with Explorer, Finder, Konqueror, Nautilus or any other file manager you like (yes, cp will work, too ;) and have it played back by the iPod with (almost) no hassles.
Just start this litte program after plugging the iPod into your USB port and before unplugging it.
WARNING: rePear is still in development and may or may not work for you. You should always create a backup of the /iPod_Control/iTunes directory before trying rePear. You take any responsibility or liability for any damage caused by the use of rePear.
