View MP3 songs stored on iPod.

Overview

PodMaster 1000 is a small iPod utility for viewing the songs on an iPod. Also displays some of the ID3 tag information, plays selected songs and can transfer them from the iPod to alternative media. This is most handy if you own computers in different locations.

What's new in PodMaster 1000

Version 1.0d cleans up some cosmetic problems. Removed inital sorting by song title because of 20Gb iPods. It can take several minutes to sort a full 20Gb iPod. Fixed an artificial 1300 song limit on transfers left over from the days of 5Gb iPods. Able to handle 10,000 songs now which should work with up to 60Gb iPods.

I get a fata error when I start this app with an iPod connected. Or if I "look for iPod" while the app is running.

Version 1.0b8

I am a Windows user. Does this software work on a windows machine or just the Mac's. I didn't see anything that told me that it would work on a windows operating system.

MacUpdate is called 'Mac'Update for a reason, there's no windows software here. Go to a windows site or Versiontracker if you want something suitable for you

Version 1.0d

It would be nice if the folders in the iPod would show up. That way you can transfer the entire folder instead of the listings of the songs.

PodMaster works fine with Panther. HOWEVER, every once and a while it will lock up on the transfer. This happens rarely, but it does happen. If you try to force quit, it won't. I even tried to kill the process in the Terminal and it wouldn't. Maybe a bug.

Version 1.0d

I have Panther and I just downloaded Podmaster 1000 V1.0d. I previously had PodMaster 1000 ss9.9. I keep getting the "unexpectedly quit" error with both versions. Are there any versions out there that work with Panther?

Version 1.0d

I have now waited 40 minutes for it to probe my iPod. I have a 40 Gig one with about 3300 songs. Is this normal? Because this would make it almost unuseable. I tried iPod Viewer but it could not see my MP4's (AAC)

I have the same problem, A 10Gig ipod took about 4 seconds, I don't understand why it freezes with the 40GB. I also have a brand new ipod, maybe Apple has recently wised up? (although the 10 GB that did work was only a few weeks older.)

I guess it has never occurred to anyone in this thread that the logical thing to do would be to contact the developer? Just a thought.

Version 1.0d

i exported all my songs from my ipod to my computer but podmaster didnt transfer all the music. podmaster exported the music with the folder but with no music inside. is that right? can you help me out with this problem?

Version 1.0d

PodMaster 1000 V1.0d outstanding on my 5gig iPod, Not (grrrrrr) on my 20 gig, So where can I get firmware version 1.1 or do I need 1.1 really dont want to lose some of my mp3's. Also on my 5gig I installed OS X server and works fine! Dont have to haul around my g4 powerbook. I can install OS X server on my 20 but using it as a "blessed disk" forget it. Got any ideas? ,,,,,,,,,,,,,jeff

Version 1.0d

I have the 30 gig. iPod.... It seems that it takes awhile to show the songs....I think it is because I updated the firmware on the iPod....Other than reseting the iPod(loosing all the music) can I restore original firmware? Is a new version on its way? Did I have to pay(which I will once it works) before it works?

Version 1.0d

This is a great program. My only criticism is that I wish the screen was larger. I don't think that it needs to be limited to the physical size of the iPod. It would be nice if it were about twice the size that it is. However, that will not keep me from paying the shareware fee.I rated it a "3" in Ease of Use only because of the small screen.
