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.
