CopyTransManager – Manage Your iPod/iPhone Songs/Videos

CopyTransManager is used to manage your iPod/iPhone sudio and video files. It can add music and video files to iPod/iPhone,edit songs playlists and support to play iPod/iPhone music in PC without iTunes  (need K-Lite Codec Pack  supported)。

CopyTransManager is prefessional to replace iTunes with user-friendly interface and quick transferring speed.Its uncompressed file is about 3M, which can be described as slim body compared to iTunes 100M size. After starting iTunes, although it will do many things, the efficiency is very slow in the Windows.

In CopyTransManager a row of buttons above , the second button in the left is for update . Add audio files by using CopyTransManager (the third  button in the left), click on the update button to sync audio files to iPod / iPhone, and this time will be blocked sometimes, but it is okay and you just wait a moment.

iTunes is large and slow, if you're not used it to update Podcast, install the iPod Touch / iPhone applications, and backup system files, and CopyTransManager is enough for your needs.

How to transfer or copy songs from computer to iPod easily?

Some friends just came over and ask me how to transfer some songs from my computer to the ipod.

iPod offers three ways to transfer songs from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes:

1.You need to install itunes 1st.

    From there you can basically drag and drop songs from your music folder/directory into itunes.

   Plug your ipod into a suitable usb port and drag the songs from the itunes directory into your ipod (within itunes).

That is probably the simplest method.

2. Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synched to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, iTunes will offer to choose a selection of songs to sync to iPod.

3. Automatically update selected playlists. With this option, iTunes automatically copies only the playlists you have selected to iPod when you connect it to the computer. This option can be selected by accessing the Music tab of the iPod settings.

4. Manually manage music. You can also choose to transfer music to iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to iPod. You can find this option by accessing the Summary tab of the iPod settings.

If the number of songs on your computer exceeds the capacity of the iPod, Apple's "AutoFill" feature within iTunes will select the number of songs, audiobooks, and podcasts that fit on the iPod as directed by the user or at random.

You can also configure your iPod to appear as a hard drive on the desktop -- with the exception of the iPod touch models (although third-party software is available) -- and manually drag files of any type to the iPod. Music files copied to the iPod in this way won't play on the iPod, without first copying them to a computer and importing them into iTunes, but this is useful for backing up or transporting any type of file. Please refer to "Using Your iPod as a Storage Drive" and "Putting iPod Into Disk Mode" from the Apple Support Site for more information.

TikTok And LunaTik to Make iPod Nano Into a Wristwatch

Scott Wilson, head of MNML studio,who was formerly the global creative director for Nike Watches.Now he is raising funds for TikTok+LunaTik Multi-Touch Watch Kits.Transform your iPod Nano into the world's coolest multi-touch watches with TikTok + LunaTik by Scott Wilson and MINIMAL. 

There's two basic options: TikTok and LunaTik. 

TikTok is a simple snap-in design. It allows the user to easily and securely snap the Nano into the wrist dock. It cleanly and simply integrates the Nano and transforms it into a modern multifunction timepiece.

LunaTik is designed and intended to be a premium conversion kit for someone that wants to dedicate their Nano to being a watch and the newest conversation piece with their friends. It is forged from Aerospace Grade Aluminum and then machined via CNC into its final form.

Note: You can't quite buy these just yet though -- Wilson is producing them himself, and funding the effort through Kickstarter. For $25, you can pre-order TikTok (which will be $35 at retail); for $50 you get LunaTik (which will be $70 at retail). Wilson expects them to ship in about a month, just in time for Christmas.
