This app would not work for my iphone. When I open it, the app would close unexpectedly, however I had an idea. I connected my son's ipod (3rd Gen. 30gb) it worked perfectly. unfortunately the songs I needed are still on my iphone. Did not see any documentation.

Overall good app for ipod.

I really appreciate what this program does. But the new update kept saying there was a naming error with the tracks I wanted to copy, so I reverted to the older 0.3 version and it works fine. The tracks I had were purchased from Amazon, but I didn't have any problem bringing them into the iTunes folder and using them on my Nano. fyi, I am using an older Mac at my office, which is where I had the problem (a mirrored door Mac running 10.4.11.

I had accidentally lost my 5000 songs on my G4 iMac when I upgraded to 10.4. I ran my usual backup to my backup drive and forgot my new iTunes folder was empty and it deleted all my backup - DUH! I had all the songs copied to my iPod (4th Gen Photo) but the iPod was coming up with a 'unhappy' symbol and was not readable in iTunes any longer. TYPICAL.
I tried a couple of other utilities but they could not read the iPod in its broken state. Expod did, however - brilliantly! It allowed me to browse all the tracks hidden away on the iPod and retrieve them back onto my iMac.
One problem was that, occasionally the copying would stop when the software seemed to find a track already copied and would not overwrite "Could not copy file....", as mentioned in another post - happened about 10 times in 5000 songs. Luckily it told me what song it had frozen on and I was able to go back to my selected list of songs in Expod, ignore the file that would not copy (as, invariably, it had already copied it and would not overwrite it) and carry on from that point on by selecting the remaining songs.
So, Expod saved me having to reimport all my CDs one by one! All track, artist and album was preserved as well! Once copied back, I was able to drag and drop the whole lot back into iTunes.
Took a while - I did, however, stupidly do it over USB1, even though I have FW - only realised after!
I am thrilled to have resurrected my music and thoroughly recommend this software. Thank you to the authors. I am making a small donation to a charity as a gesture of my satisfaction and gratitude!
