Apple’s iPod has never been as popular accounting for over 70% of the MP3 pla
During my testing CopyTrans manager worked great with everything I threw at it namely an iPhone 3G iPod Touch (1st Gen) iPod Nano (4th Gen) and an older iPod Nano (2nd Gen). The interface is fairly easy to navigate and brings up the contents of your iPod almost immediately after connection.
You can edit song tags and album artwork manage your playlists and preview tracks from your iPod. Most features worked without a muss but when I tried to play any of my Apple Lossless tracks or iTunes purchased tracks the program would stop responding for a few seconds before telling me that I had to download a missing M4A codec and directing me to the K-Lite Codec Pack which weighed in at just over 14MB. That said if the developers built in that native support then it would cost them to do so and would defeat the purpose of providing a free application.
When managing songs and playlists you can simply drag and drop songs wherever you want them to go and you can rename songs and playlists just like you would in iTunes. One feature I found useful was the ability to simply drag and drop songs right on to your iPod without having them stored in your iTunes library beforehand. This is a brilliant feature if you’re on the go and want to nab a song from a friend’s computer. But what if they don’t have CopyTrans Manager? Just run it off your flash drive – it’s a portable application that can be executed on any computer so you don’t have to worry about having your own machine with you.
I enjoyed the simplicity of using CopyTrans Manager to sync my iPod as I didn’t have to be faced with a host of features I didn’t need to use in iTunes. Being a lightweight application CopyTrans Manager CPU footprint was 0% when idle and just 2% when the pla
I love the simplicity of CopyTrans Manager compared to iTunes although it would be nice to see support for more audio codecs such as M4A in future upgrades as it seems strange to advertise a ‘faster lighter’ iTunes alternative and not include support for Apple’s music format without a 3rd party codec pack which I’d have preferred not to install. Despite this I found this iTunes alternative to be a very capable and compatible iPod manager. If you want to check it out you can head on over to the CopyTrans Manager website where it is available as a free download.
