ephPod

ephPod is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you transfer and synchronize your favorite music to your iPod device. You can preview the songs, edit tags, add audio files, wipe data, as well as update the iPod firmware.

The GUI hosts a well-organized suite of features and integrates a built-in wizard for helping you connect your iPod to your computer. The step-by-step approach is suitable especially for less experienced users as they can configure the setup process with just a few clicks, namely you need to select your iPod drive and build the iPod directory structure.

The content of your iPod devices is revealed with the aid of different categories, such as Playlists, Artists, Genres, Songs, Contacts and Recent items. You can view details about each song, such as title, album, artist, genre, comment, composer, track number, song length, encoding type, file type, date, size, filename, and song ID.

ephPod gives you the possibility to add audio files (MP3, WAV, AA, M4A), insert the content of an entire directory, as well as import audio data from playlists (M3U).

The sync process can be carried out with a single click, and you may also alter tags (e.g. title, artist, composer, album, genre), set the start time and song length, adjust the MP3 volume, delete files, generate a playlist from the selected items, album or genre, all songs or orphan files, and edit the vCalendar files by adding or deleting events.

The application lets you update the firmware, detect duplicate items, wipe the content of your entire device, add a new contact by providing general information about name, job title, organization and notes, webpage, email address, phone number and addresses, create a new memo, and save the song list to CSV file format.

EphPod offers a straightforward solution for helping you manage the data on your iPod devices. Thanks to its intuitive GUI, it can be mastered by all types of users, regardless of their experience level. However, it hasn't been updated for a while, so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems.
