Furthermore, it supports playlists and will recreate them in your iTunes library exactly as they are on the iPod. You can even create advanced filters for importing songs with specific metadata. Clearly designed for regular use, Music Rescue lets you see which songs you already have in your iTunes library and which ones you don’t.

The interface is well designed and utilitarian and feels right at home on the Mac (with minor exceptions being the design of the few buttons on the interface and the application icon). Right from being able to browse, search, and sort the tracks on your iPod from within the application window to playing them back while you import songs into iTunes, it has a lot going on. Of all the applications vying for the top spot, KennettNet Software’s £10 Music Rescue is one of the most full-featured.

It doesn’t prevent you from creating duplicates of items already in your iTunes library, and the only way to ‘recover’ playlists is to drag a playlist folder into the Playlists area of iTunes’ sidebar, but it does give you free access to the contents of your iPod. From there you can drag a file or folder to your desktop, or directly into iTunes, to copy it to your Mac. Open the iPod folder and you’ll see folders such as Albums, Artists, and Playlists. Open it and you’ll see your connected iPod as well as well as an iTunes folder. When you plug in an iPod (iTunesFS doesn’t support the iPhone or iPod touch) and double click the app, you’ll see an iTunesFS volume mount on your desktop.

In fact, it’s not really an app at all-it’s a FUSE-based file system that requires that you first install MacFUSE. Marcus Mueller’s free iTunesFS takes a different approach from the other apps looked at here.
When you change iPods while iRip is running, it doesn’t refresh the contents automatically either, forcing you to do it manually by closing the window and choosing the currently connected iPod on the screen that pops up. It also makes no distinction between songs you already have in your iTunes library and the ones you don’t have, instead making duplicates of the former if they happen to be in the selection you chose to import. The latter, however, does not let you play the songs on your iPod or browse through them by specific metadata.

Upon first launch, it presents a screen that gives you the option to choose between Automatic Recovery mode-which copies over all the media, along with the playlists, from your iPod onto your Mac-and Manual Import mode. Beyond the normal abilities to search for and copy selected songs over to your Mac, iRip gives you the ability to import those songs into iTunes and even copies over the playlists from your iPod.
The Little App Factory’s $20 iRip (previously known as iPodRip) has a simple interface and a few nice features. If you can get over that, however, it’s definitely a capable app that will get the job done. But I have a more serious gripe: the user interface is dated and does not really belong in the Leopard era. So what doesn’t it do? For starters, it does not let you play the songs on your iPod directly from its interface. It also lets you import all the playlists on your iPod into iTunes with the click of a button. iPod Accessįindley Designs’s $20 iPod Access has most of the features you’d expect-it quickly detects any iPod you connect, it allows you to browse and search songs, it supports videos, and can effortlessly import songs from your iPod into any folder on your Mac or straight into iTunes (even making sure that it does not let in any duplicates).
Although Expod shows the playlists on your iPod, it can’t copy them, and the app doesn’t copy files directly into iTunes. When you click the Extract button-the only one in the toolbar-the next window lets you specify a destination for the files to be copied to and gives you the option to have them filed in folders based on the metadata information contained within them. You can then either manually select the songs you’d like to copy (aided by a search box) or press Command-A to select them all.
Click your iPod and you’re presented with a list of all the tracks it contains. Fitting squarely in the bare-bones category, Steve Joynt’s free Expod immediately detects any connected iPod upon launch and lists it in the sidebar on the left.
