iPod Access allows you to transfer MP3 files from your iPod to your computer. When copying, you can keep the MP3s organized by artist/album. Full iPod backups can be achieved quickly and easily by deselecting the “Copy Over Originals” option when copying all songs.
What’s new in this version:
All systems should now autofind iPods when launched.
Renamed “Add” button to “Add to iTunes”.
Improved playlist cloning.

I went with Podworks 2.1.3. Seems to do what iPod Access 1.2 touts and will recognize the IPod as well!

what is m4p?
also, since filenames are stripped when loaded to the ipod, what filenames do you get when you put the ipod files back onto the computer?
and it doesn’t work with the 15gb new ipod?

Choose aac encoding in iTunes. CD’s that are encoded are called m4a. Those tunes downloaded from iTunes Music Store are m4p. Been a while since I used podworks. Transferred a few songs to daughters computer. If I recall, files are automatically transferred to music folder then manually double click them and iTunes would recognize and sort them after that. May even be an easier way I am not aware of.

Spirit, XPlay and EphPod both allow you to copy files off the ipod onto a PC. I cant remember if either of them automatically rename the file to match the tag information, but there are plenty of free programs which can do this automatically (such as ID3-TagIt, which I use).

yep.
m4a = mpeg4 audio (aka. AAC)
m4p = mpeg4 protected audio

i like to use ephpod to offload mp3s onto pc but it conflicts with my Xplay. i use a program called Tagscanner to edit id3 tags….its fast and free to boot! does batch tagging and renaming of mp3s. they have it at download.com

Hey everyone - try out PodUtil (http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php). It’s free, works on Mac and Windows and sully supports .m4a and .m4p music along with everything else.
Yes, I wrote it, and this is a bit of a plug. Anyway, try it out!

I’m disappointed tht there is no mention of this app. being OS 9 compatible or not. I tried downloading kPod elsewhere but can’t unstuff the German format.

Why won’t iTunes let you take files on and off like that. It seems that i can only put them on.
