I can't deal with (and should not have to!) a "Please Register" warning every FIVE F#&%ING SECONDS! Give me a day to evaluate it first, for god's sake! Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. I'm not going to put up with such "enthusiasm" to get my money.
And no documentationat all?
Plonk.

A little disappointed with this program, I expected it to do more than it did. First off, it didn't copy any of my Ratings, Play Counts, or Last Played info. It copied my playlists over, but they came through without names so they're called "untitled playlist 1-20." Also, my smart playlists became regular playlists.
It did copy all my album artwork, but the reason I was copying off my iPod instead of my computer (just bought a new computer) is that I wanted to retain all my rating information. If I don't get my rating information I might as well have copied them straight from my old computer, then at least the folders would be set up exactly how I wanted.
I did like how I could select the format of the file names before I imported, I previously tried iPod Rip and it loading my music on with a format I didn't like so I ended up going through and changing a bunch of the file names. With this one you can custom make your file names by choosing between all sorts of different pieces to add in. I was able to format all my songs like (Artist) - (Song Name) (Extension - .mp3).
As I said, it brought all my album artwork over, and while iPod Rip did that too, it didn't do it for every single song file so I had a bunch of missing artwork and would have had to still add artwork to the ones missing it.
Contrary to what another feedback says, it loaded in every last song on my iPod, checked or not. No problem with unchecked music not making it over. I don't know how I'd go about loading just one playlist or a selection of songs, with no music highlighted and clicking "copy" it copies EVERYTHING on the iPod. It might take a bit of work to figure out how to copy over just one playlist or just selected songs (since the checked/unchecked thing didn't make a difference for me).
Overall I was disappointed in this program because I expected to retain my rating and play count information and none of that information came over. I will probably end up undoing all of the work it just did and using a different program that can bring rating and play count info with it.
