iTunesFS allows you to mount the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file and all your iPods as a file system, using the excellent MacFUSE.

All playlists are exposed as directories, with their respective entries. Order of tracks within the playlists is maintained by prefixing the tracks with their playlist index.
What's New
Version 1.3.0:

Requirements
  • PPC / Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 or later
  • iTunes
  • MacFUSE 2.0.3.2 or later

5 stars cause it always worked great for me.
But... Last version 1.3 is a no go. Nothing mounts anymore.
Bummer. I successfully reversed back to 1.2.2 tho.
Need a fix obviously.

Voreball replied on 28 Sep 2011
I was thinking... Description on top is kind of misleading.
Is OSXFUSE required for 1.3 to work?
Is MacFUSE incompatible with 1.3?
Thanks...

To possibly answer Voreball - I uninstalled MacFuse and installed OSXFuse and now all works well. I assume that was the trick. (if you install osxfuse also select for the install MacFuse compatibility and you won't have to separately uninstall MacFuse.)

Two problems:
1. Unable to download the program from any links here or practically anywhere else, as links typically come up "denied" or "unable to find server." Eventually found a copy at Brothersoft.
2. Builds directories and stores files as per the tags/iTunes. In my collection this easily becomes messy, as a very large number of "artists" are unique (and I add files constantly in batches by their catalog number). Keeping original filenames in a single directory is much preferable. If something in the file scheme causes a duplicate name, simply adding a number to the end, like the Apple file system does, will work.
3. Seemed to work quite well until the failing iPod gave an I/O error, and then it just blew through all the remaining titles in a minute, copying blank folders and files to the destination directory.

This last needs to be corrected no matter what the source of error, as it makes the backup look valid, until you look at the file sizes. This is even more important when dealing with a failing iPod!

I emailed the developer because I had an small issue with iTunesFS, and even though I am the only one experiencing this issue the developer send me an updated version that totally addressed this issue. How about that for support on a free app!

iTunes FS mounts your iTunes library and any attached iPod as a volume in Finder, and that's all there is to say because it works flawlessly. Don't expect a fancy GUI, because you simply don't need it! This app is a computer lifesaver to me, and I would suggest to the developer to make iTunesFS donation-ware and implement this the same friendly way as Carbon Copy Cloner does for instance. iTunesFS is the choice over a lot of commercial apps for backing up iPod and iTunes content. Recommended!

"Thanks" to Macupdate going towards the worst of search methods, I had to reach this application again by typing ipodview and browsing to other software suggested...

I miss the 2005 version of this website. So much.
PS: I am a daily user of MU.

Not all applications that run on top of Google MacFUSE are perfect yet, but they are all highly functional and incredibly practical. This one ranks as a phenomenal one. The absolutely simplest way to access data on your iPod. Thank you, thank you, thank you. The other app that I highly recommend is MacFusion.

Just for the record -- MacFUSE is *not* a Google product. It is however hosted on Google Code, as are many open-source projects.

This is a wonderful tool, and it makes great use of the also excellent MacFuse project. Thanks for developing this and making it freely available!

It works in my Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Make sure you have MacFuse (most recent version as required). It's a great piece of software which makes life easy between iTunes and external world.

Check the good dev website.
http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/software/iTunesFS/
At the end of the site there are some hints.
Maybe you have the itunes.xml not in the default place.
The dev shows how you can setup the tool to work with an
.xml which is on an other place / other volume.
