Easily Copy Music from iPod to Your Mac
While making arrangements for my vacation this week I really needed to sort out my iPod library. Since moving from PC to Mac my mp3 collection was in disarray. The only trustworthy set was on my iPod, and I was very worried I was going to lose it through a disk crash or worse.
What I wanted was a software tool to pull my music back off my iPod onto my Mac, and I found it in Senuti.
Copy MP3 Files off Your iPod with Senuti
Hunting around the intertubes there were various tutorials and tips for how you can grab the files off the hard disk, but this solution was the most elegant.
The main benefit of the application is it talks directly to iTunes and can work with your library to incorporate your music.
It is intelligent enough to know when you have the file already on your hard disk, and to ignore those, even when creating a play list.
- Lightning fast – There isn’t a much faster way to figure out what’s on your iPod.
- Finding Songs – You can search and sort in any combination of ways that you want. It can even double as a jukebox player for your Shuffle or any other iPod.
- Playlists – Senuti not only reads the playlists that you made on your iPod, but it allows you to transfer them back to your computer as well.
- Seamless Integration – You can have songs added to iTunes if you want. You can have all of your music organized into folders by artist and album, too. The option’s yours.
The only hiccups I found are it seems to not like certain tracks, and an annoying dialog that pops up every now and then for now apparent reason
I would love to know the cause of that, it’s not dialogs open on iTunes as it suggests.
If you have a Mac and want access to your music locked away on your iPod, Senuti is the tool for you.
