if you have an iPod Nano or Something simpler it will work great for you because you won’t need anything more than music, vids, photos and stuff.. Thanks Steve!

Wow that is a great question raven. I’m not sure whether any of the apps mentioned here are capable of that or not.

Hi Steve. Is there any way I can put document files (i.e. – pdf,word,even notepad) onto my iPod nano 4th Generation? Also, is there any way I can get free games on there also? Or at least make it look different and better?

I have tried loads of alternatives and CopyTransManager is the only one that works on my Ipod Touch. Some of them are horrendous to work out how to use and that ensures they get binned. Others like Media Monkey and Songbird work at times, not reliably, but screw everything up all the playlists, titles, artists making them useless. Not only is CopyTransManager free but it is easy to use which is what very very few of the others can claim.

In your opening statement, you mentioned that there were some pros and cons to each software. I didn’t see mention of some of the cons. I suppose that may be outside the scope of this article, but if there are any readers that are aware of some of the cons and peculiarities of each software, it would be great to be read what they had to say and possibly save some time! One other thing that I am specifically looking for is a program that can grab the media I already have on my ipod and sync it to my computer.

Media Jukebox by JRiver is free, very well featured, will auto-create and/or allows you to create your own custom playlists (and is compatible with mosy other playlist formats)---and is a great media player, re-tagger, converter and recorder. You can either drag 'n drop or simply set it up to sync all files on command
Oh...and it syncs with iPod better and faster than most. It'll even clear any tracks you've delete from your library at each sync.

The only downside might be that the free version doesn't handle video files.

So CopyTrans works with the iPhone/iTouch? Excellent if that’s the case.
