Product Description:

PodWorks is the latest entry in the crowded field of iPod song copying utilities, but it has several important differences that I feel distinguish it immediately from the competition.

The most important feature of PodWorks is its ability to read the iPod's proprietary, internal database format (the same data source used by iTunes in examining the iPod). This gives PodWorks a distinct advantage over other, similar applications, which typically have to pull ID3 data out of every file on a given iPod to obtain song information (a very time consuming process). By contrast, when a new iPod is detected by PodWorks, that iPod's song list is rendered nearly instantaneously from the database--no "scanning" of the iPod necessary! Additional features include:

  • Drag-and-drop song copying to the Finder.
  • iTunes-style type-ahead search of song data (title, artist, album).
  • iTunes-style song sorting by multiple columns.
  • Preferences for song renaming and copies into directory hierachies.
  • Optimized, fully multithreaded copy routines for superior performance.
  • Automatic detection of iPod mounts and unmounts.
  • Support for multiple simultaneous iPods.

Please note that until PodWorks is registered, it has the following limitations:

  • 30 day time limit
  • 250 song copy limit
  • Songs must be copied one at a time

What's new in this version:

  • Made dragging behavior more consistent with Apple Human Interface Guidelines.
  • Fixed progress bar bug introduced in 1.1 (progress would only get halfway on multi-song copies.
  • Made "Deselect All Songs" menu item available only when at least one item is selected.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

PodWorks CommentaryZOUNDS! - Version: 2.9.4, 7/4/2009 07:44PM PST

I have gotten more songs, trouble- and error-free, off my 160GB iPod Classic in the last 10 minutes than I was able to in DAYS with iPod.iTunes. I was so desperate I even enabled "root" with iPod.iTunes and still watched my system crawl through about 3/4 of my iPod library and then stop for unknown reasons (log reveals iPod.iTunes detected all kinds of "errors") Rubbish.

Bravo, PodWorks! Will see how the complete copy works; my iPhone is next up if all goes well.

if you're a PodWorks user and saw it stop working when you updated your iPhone or iPod Touch to the 3.0 software, never fear...the developer has a compatible version in beta that will be released shortly.
