The reason I still use
iPods are my speaker docks. I have several
and really like them. The Android world
has nothing close to what these old 30 pin connector docks have to offer.
I’m not going to get into what’s
wrong with iTunes, the fact that you are reading this means you already know. Anyways I researched and found an easy way to
transfer files to and from your iPod without using iTunes and you don’t even
need iTunes installed on your PC! And
this solution is FREE. Some modules are
pay but the music app is Free.
Step into the world of CopyTransManager. It will also work with iPhones
and iPads.
My Windows 7 x64 did not
have iTunes installed. CopyTrans Manager(CTM) complained and prompted that it could install the necessary drivers
without installing the fully bloated iTunes.
I was pleased how easy that worked.
After the drivers are installed you get a simple window allowing you to
sort/display your music by Artist, Title or Album. Playlists are also supported. I had an upgraded iPod Mini ready for it’s first
test using CTM. This iPod mini has a
32GB SD card in it instead of the usual 6GB CF hard drive. CTM had no issue dealing with the hacked
iPod. It took me no time to understand
how it worked. I dragged a bunch of
music from my local hard drive to the CTM window and away it went. It showed my new music and a display on the
bottom of how much space my iPod was using and was available. I was able to use my favorite file manager
Total Commander to drag the music to CTM.
You can finally stick your
Apple device on any Windows PC and just copy content to or from the device
without any hassles. It just works. CopyTrans has separate modules to copy photos,
contacts and apps to your Apple device. Not
all these modules are free. I was not
too interested in these modules but I did try Photos. It allowed me to copy photos but I had to use
their file manager. I was not able to
drag photos using Total Commander for some odd reason.
This wonderful utility
makes me like my iPods a whole lot more.
I can finally use my Apple devices on any PC without iTunes or the
hassles iTunes is well known for.
You can also give this iTunes alternative a try on your PC.
