Senuti	Jun 19 2009	SYLVAPOLUPOSA One word: GREAT Seriously ... this is the only iPod ripper I trust fully. It works perfect. And free is a bonus but I would pay for it. (Version 0.50.9)		-6

iPod Access	Jun 19 2009	SYLVAPOLUPOSA After the big disappointment of iPodRip I tried this one. 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.

iPod Access

ANONYMOUS Sylvapoluposa,

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.

iRip	Jun 19 2009	SYLVAPOLUPOSA Tried this software and well ... it just don't cut it in any way. iPod ripping is buggy (crashed several times when importing) AND resulted in a few corrupted files. There is definitely something wrong with the file handling code. iPhone ripping is also a pain in the *ss. In fact it uses a trick and not actually ripping it directly from your iPhone. (only works when iTunes is installed and the settings of iTunes are correct). Tried iPodRip on 3 macs and crashes occurs on all of them (mainly when importing files). It also seems to hang on some point and then continues. iPodRip is .... a rip ... even when this was given free I would not use it. (Version 1.2.5)		-5

JOHN SAWYER CJS If iPodRip crashed on three different Macs, assuming you used the same iPod or iPhone on each of those Macs, this may indicate a problem with that iPod or iPhone, instead of the iPodRip app.
