manage your iPod without iTunes

Our Rating: (Good!)

CopyTrans Manager enables you to manage your iPod songs without the need to use the iTunes interface. You can add and delete files, edit tag information, create playlists and also play your files (provided you have the proper codecs installed on your PC). The program automatically categorizes your iPod content based on genre, album and artist and also provides a keyword search function to quickly locate a title. CopyTrans Manager does not require iTunes to be currently installed, however it requires the iTunes drivers to be present which are usually left behind from a previous install. If iTunes has never be installed on your PC, you will need to install it at least once. Not compatible with the second generation of iPod Touch and iPhone.

Pros: Loads a little faster than iTunes; does not require iTunes to be currently installed

Cons: Requires additional codecs to play many iTunes items; cannot copy files from your iPod
