  • Categories show you how much media items the category has, and how much are missing in iTunes.
  • Playlists do the same for playlist entries.
  • Copying is super simple: select one or more playlists, categories, media items or playlist entries and click the Transfer button (or just hit the Return key).
  • During copy, iPod.iTunes gives full feedback what's currently copied. Also, all items states are live updated.
  • During copy, you can add more playlists/playlist entries or media items to the copy process.
  • Seamless transfer: No matter if you select entire playlist or only desired playlist entries - iPod.iTunes will create the necessary things in your iTunes library without creating duplicates.
  • Notable differences for users of older releases:
  • Single playlist copy (previous releases synchronized all playlists together).
  • Media items, playlists and playlists entries are shown directly in the app. iTunes is no longer required for this.
  • The whole workflow is completely different - very obvious and much faster.
  • The user interface is much more responsive. As an example, clicking “Cancel” during copying responds immediately, thanks to threaded copying.

  • Small improvements.

New in copyThing 4.0 (Jun 9, 2008)

  • iTunes� auto sync suppression. iPod.iTunes now keeps the user entirely free from fiddling around with the right iTunes- and iPod Settings. iPod.iTunes did this already for years regarding the right iTunes Settings. Now iPod.iTunes also makes sure that iTunes cannot delete what you want to transfer from the iPod back into iTunes. iPod.iTunes will inform about the current iPod connection state and, if necessary, with a single click you can ensure that nothing will be deleted by iTunes� automatic iPod synchronization when you connect your iPod.
  • Support for iPhone / iPod touch with applied jailbreak.
  • Meta data: iPod.iTunes now supports every possible iTunes meta data for songs and videos.
  • Application Update. Even simpler than before. If a new release is available you get a message from which you can directly choose to update with a single click. The release notes are no longer shown in the Log Display which wasn�t ideal for reading formatted text.
  • Help. In addition to the help tags for the interface elements there are now on every tab (and some dialog panels) help buttons, pointing to appropriate manual pages.
  • iPod Eject button. To avoid corruption of iPod�s in disk mode it is required by OS X to properly eject the iPod�s disk volume before unplugging the cable (just like any other hard drive). This can be done directly from within iPod.iTunes now. If the button is active it means it must be clicked before unplugging the iPod�s cable.
  • Many little user interface Improvements.
  • The color of the application icon has been changed to white/blue.
  • Many other internal improvements and little bug fixes.

  • General improvements.
  • When iPod.iTunes is launched with no iPod connected, you get additional direct step-by-step instructions how to avoid iTunes� automatic iPod synchronization (which may delete content on the iPod you want to copy from).
  • Settings tab: Playlist Prefix: There is now one entry field for each sync direction. Previously one field showed the one of the current sync directions which could be confusing.
  • Synchronization: Manual copying: iPod.iTunes resizes the iTunes window in relation to the screen size.
  • A confirmation dialog for the Cancel button in case it was accidently clicked.

New in copyThing 3.9.1 Build 589 (Mar 24, 2008)

  • iPod.iTunes 3.9 asks you for the email client Microsoft Entourage, even when not installed. This turns out to be an compiler bug on 10.5.2 (to which I�ve upgraded my development system). So Entourage support for the �Send Logfile� button in the Tools tab had to be removed. You need to attach the iPod.iTunes logfile manually if you want to send it.
