    Version: iPod Access 4.0.6

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Converted to Mac over a year ago and had about 30 "lost" albums on my iPod that I could not get into my new Mac library. Songs transfer FAST and easy (even for the free version). Really excellent user interface. I was SO happy to have found this and recommend it for anyone who can read directions. I always have my iPod on manual updating, so I didn't have any duplication issues; then again, I CAN read directions pretty well! Please, read the directions before use!

    "This Software is Golden!"

    Version: iPod Access 4.0.6

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    This Software saved my mental frame of mind! My iTunes hard drive died, and my iPod gave me the scare of my life...I had no backup to my iPod while i was trying to get $1000.00 together to do data recovery on my iTunes hardrive, when my iPod wouldn't start. I left it to charge overnight and the next day it still wouldn't start up. I did all the hold this key and that key over and over and nothing...I tried it one last time before I got in bed that night, and it came on...I immediately knew I had better back it up as best I can. I tried another product to back it up but it wouldn't back up my purchased music, and I have about $400.00 in purchased music. I searched and found iPod access and I let it do it's thing overnight, and it copied all the files!! 4,112 songs! Everything! I was actually allowed to recover everything I paid for in the first place! imagine that!! i guess life is kind of fair after all! I recommend this product to everyone. You have to have it. Period. It is a must have, and it works great!!
