And again ... disappointment and even more ... it locked my iPhone three times and eventually I gave up.
Downloading files was extremely slow on my Mac Book Pro but it did not crash like iPodRip did.
The drawer popping out on the right is very buggy and indicates this is made with RealBasic. So no Cocoa support here and willl certainly give problems when running on Snow Leopard.
It also has a major memory leak problem (about 50mb after you quit the program).
Reading the notes it seems the developer tried to warn every user of all sort of problems he can encounter when using iPod Access. A shame really because I good app should work without any danger involved.
iPod Access is not worth a penny for me because of several issues and there are other free applications doing the same, safer AND better.
Below are some responses to your comments:
1. iPhone OS 3.0 support was released on July 1st. Unfortunately your 3.0 iPhone would not have worked with iPod Access before that. iPod Access was the first music transfer program to provide iPhone OS 3.0 support.
2. iPod Access is written in Realbasic as stated in the about box. I am surprised this is even on your radar. Many great things are written in Realbasic.
3. iPod Access will work in Snow Leopard when it is released or shortly after.
4. Memory Leaks do not exist after a program is closed, only while running. If you have 50MB getting tied up somewhere it either your OS or another program.
5. The warnings in the readme file are to prevent headache. Apple has gone to great links to automatically sync iPods. This can sometimes end up erasing iPods and all the users music. iPod Access has implemented safety routines to help guard against this but there are things a user can do to help prevent it. To be honest we have never had a complaint about providing too much information. If it annoys you please do not read it.
Sorry to hear your experience with iPod Access has not been great. Hopefully you will take another look at our app in the future and see if it meets your needs.

"Great links". I've never seen that before. It's brilliant. (Assuming it was an intentional homophone usage and not just a hilarious misunderstanding of the original phrase "great lengths").

I then went with my old standby the FREE Senuti. 5571 songs on my iPod, 5571 songs accounted for on my computer.
The report on iPodRip seemed a little too glowing so I checked the comments and reviews on that program as well. For the most part every review reported a problem with iPodRip.
I would give both programs two stars, unreliable with separate sets of problems. I can only recommend Senuti. It's not fancy, nor loaded with features, it just does the job flawlessly.
Until IPod Access can develop that reliability, I can't give it a positive recommendation.
Starting with v4.2 for iPod Access to decide that a song already exists in iTunes the ID3 tags of the songs must match. If the Song Name, Artist, Album, Track Number, duration, bitrate or file type is different on either the iPod or iTunes they will be considered 2 different songs. When using the "Add to iTunes" or "Clone Playlist" functions of iPod Access this criteria is used to determine if the songs already exist before the copy takes place.

I am sure iPodrip enjoys the advertisement you have given on this page for software that is not even available yet, but next time please leave some constructive criticism. iPod Access is loaded with features, if their is something you believe is missing please send me an email at support@drewfindley.com. I am always looking to improve the program.

The program has some critical bugs. iPod Access supposedly offers a nice "cloning" feature to copy playlists from an iPod to iTunes. It specifically says that "If the songs are already in your library they will not be copied." This was clearly not the case, as I sorted through the results, noting hundreds of duplicate files now in my iTunes Library.
iPod Access also professes to offer a neat Backup feature - backing up the contents of the iPod onto a hard drive. Again, after numerous tries, the program would hang when only partially done.
Support is limited on the sparse web site, so to those who are considering purchasing this program might want to think again.
I am sorry to hear you have had problems with the program. Most users experience no problems and the support page on my site has listed solutions to issues that may arise. Reading your issues I assume you are a registered user so please contact me. I would like to solve your problems so I can relate the answers to others in the future or repair a bug that may exist. The features you are having problems with seem to work great for most people but I am eager to fix any problems that arise. Support questions can be emailed to support@drewfindley.com as listed on the contact page of the website.

Drew Findley
