Apple makes extracting your music from your iPod unnecessarily difficult, which is where SharePod comes in. This fast freeware tool efficiently transfers your music collection to your hard drive, making it easy to back up or restore your music, videos, and photos. It also transfers playlists, album art, and ratings, both to your hard drive and directly into iTunes.

  • Copy Songs to Computer: You can quickly transfer your media files from any Apple device directly to your PC or into iTunes, keeping all your data safe.
  • Share or Copy iTunes Playlists: You can copy any playlist from your devices to any computer with just one click, keeping the songs in the same order.
  • Recover Music and Playlists: If you need to get your music and playlists back after losing them, SharePod's Auto-Transfer does this easily with just one click.

SharePod works with all Apple devices, making it easy and consistent to use across different models. It needs iTunes to be open to work because it uses iTunes to connect with your devices.

How to Use SharePod

SharePod is simple to use because of its clear layout. Here's how to transfer your music:

  • Automatic Transfer: Choose 'Auto Transfer' from the menu to move all your iTunes media to iTunes at once. This includes your playlists, play counts, star ratings, and more.
  • Manual Selection and Transfer: You can pick specific tracks or playlists. After selecting, just click on the appropriate option in the menu to start transferring to iTunes or a specific folder on your computer.

To choose several tracks at once, hold down the Ctrl key (on PC) or the Command key (on Mac) and click on the tracks you want.

SharePod comes with features that many competitors lack. Not only can you transfer your files, you can also perform some basic editing. You can use it to delete art, playlists, music, and videos from your iPod, edit tags, and you can also transfer from your computer to your iPod without having to use iTunes. When you copy, you can set the folder architecture to one of three defaults, or customize your own. One key feature of SharePod is that it comes with a database backup, so if something goes awry during the transfer process, it's a simple procedure to restore it.

Bottom Line

The program comes in an archive, not a self-extracting EXE file. The EXE file is tiny, however, weighing in at just 5.4MB, so it's small enough to carry around on your iPod. SharePod is surprisingly effective. In transferring more than 7,000 songs and their accompanying artwork, playlists, and ratings, SharePod only freaked out on two dozen tracks. Notably, it doesn't stop copying, instead logging which files copy successfully and which don't. Given how hassle-free it is and how good it is at what it does, it's hard not to consider SharePod a must-have.
