PodUtil

PodUtil - it can copy the music from your iPod back to your computer PodUtil is a program for for the Apple iPod that can copy the music from your iPod back to your computer.

While doing so, it can organise your music by artist and/or album, or if you require more precision you can define exactly how files are organised and named based on the songs ID tags.

Supports all the formats iPod does (MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV, etc).

Here are some key features of "PodUtil":

"Composer" is now included when building rules, in the "Get Info" window and as a tag in Copy Settings.

Added "Year" tag to Copy Settings.

New Preference: Startup -> Check for PodUtil updates. When this is checked, PodUtil will attempt to check for new versions on startup.

New Preference: General -> Remember Copy Destination. When checked, PodUtil will remember the last selected Copy Destination between uses. If the destination is moved or deleted between uses, the location will be forgotten.

New Preference: Copying -> Track Copy Order. This menu allows you to choose which order PodUtil copies the queue in.

New Preference: General -> Ignore "The" when sorting by Artist or Album. When this is checked, PodUtil will ignore "The" at the beginning or Artist and Album data when sorting. For example, "The Beatles" will come under 'B' rather than 'T' with this enabled.

PodUtil's sorting is now much smarter:

Sorting by Artist now takes into account Artist, Album, track number and disc number data.

Sorting by Album takes into account Album, track number and disc number data.

Sorting by iTunes Status now works.

Sorting by track length now works properly.

Sorting Podcasts now works correctly. Now the tracks are sorted rather than the Podcast titles.

Podcasts now keep their expanded status between playlist switches and when sorting.

Two new menu items in the Rules menu: Queue All and Unqueue All. They queue and unqueue all the tracks on the current iPod (rather than just the playlist/search results you're looking at).
