iPod.iTunes 4.4

iPod.iTunes 4.4 comes to you as an interesting tool which evaluates the source for songs, podcasts, videos and/or playlists that are not in the target and only adds these seamlessly, avoiding duplicates, saving your time.

Unlike iTunes' "auto update/sync" 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...

Major Features:

1. Easy to use:
   • One-click synchronization.
   • Works independently of your iTunes- and iPod settings.
   • Suppress iTunes’ own iPod sync with a single mouse click, so iTunes cannot delete content on the iPod. More...
   • Active user guiding
2. Powerful features:
   • Superior iTunes integration including playlists and meta data.
   • 8 synchronization modes in 2 directions (from iPod to iTunes and from iTunes to iPod).
   • Option to choose songs manually if you don't want to copy all missing songs. iPod.iTunes presents missing songs/videos directly in iTunes! You can inspect/listen to songs and videos before you choose to copy them.
   • Songs and playlists can be synchronized together or separately.
   • Supported formats: MP3, AAC/MP4, Protected AAC (iTunes Music Store), Audible audio books, Podcasts, Apple Lossless, Video.
   • Copies seamlessly to existing songs in the iTunes music folder (or any other folder).
   • Copied files are named as iTunes does. Never overwrites any existing files.
   • iPod Emergency Copy: copies as much files as possible from a damaged iPod file system.
   • Creates a date&time-stamped playlist in iTunes with a reference to the copied songs.
   • Supports Windows-formatted iPods.
   • Support for the iPod's "On The Go" playlist.
   • iPod.iTunes can run directly off the iPod, so it's always there when you need it.
   • Registration is independent of the computer. Just connect your iPod to any Mac without the need to register the Mac.
   • One-click application updating.
   • Universal Binary - runs native on Intel/PPC.

Enhancements:

• Support for the iPod shuffle. This works for getting songs from the shuffle into iTunes but not the other way around (may come in another release).
• Various improvements for the "Supress iTunes' auto sync"-feature", i.e. all iPod sync settings are fully retained, even if you forgot to click "Allow iTunes' auto sync" after using iPod.iTunes. ("Allow iTunes' auto sync" has been renamed to "Turn on iTunes' auto sync".)

• An Apple Macintosh with an Intel- or G3/G4/G5 processor (iPod.iTunes is a Universal Binary).
• Mac OS X 10.3.9 - 10.6.1 (there is a dedicated release for Mac OS X 10.2.8 up to 10.3.8).
• Tunes version 4.2 - 9.0.1.
