pcYourPod

Version 1.2 Released

pcYourPod let's you play music from your iPod on your PC. The interface has the same controls as your iPod, so you will know how to use it right away. You can use your mouse and the clickwheel controls, or use the arrow keys to control pcYourPod. Even press and hold the Play/Pause button to exit.

It also has a detail screen that lets you scroll through the songs on your iPod quickly. Just double click on a song to play it.

Getting Started:


pcYourPod will automatically detect an iPod connected to your computer by looking for an iTunesDB file. The iTunesDB file contains all of the information about the songs on your iPod.

pcYourPod will search all of your drives for an iPod_Control folder, and if found will find your iTunesDB. If your iPod doesn't have the iPod_Control structure you can use Settings -> Change DB Location to find your iTunesDB file.


Use a Backup of Your iTunes Databases:


You can also make a backup of your iPod on a CD or DVD and play music from it. Have your music on your computer even when you don't have your iPod with you! When your iPod is connected to your computer it shows up as a normal disk drive. Just make a backup of the iPod drive and play your music from any PC. See the pcYourPod Support Page for complete instructions. Note: There can be a delay when some CD/DVD start reading data. If it happen often you may need to update your drive's driver.


Copy Songs to PC:


From the Details screen you can copy songs from your iPod to your PC. Simply select the songs you want to copy in the details window and press the Copy Selected to PC button. A dialog window will open and you will specify where you want the songs copied to. The songs will also be renamed based on your iPod's information. This is done because iTunes will often rename a song when it is loaded onto an iPod ( e.g. ALIH.mp3 ). Use the mouse and the Shift or Ctrl keys to multi-select songs.

Copy Songs to a Device Connected to Your PC with Microsoft's ActiveSync :


When pcYourPod is stated it will search for devices ( mobile phones or Pocket PCs ) that are connected via ActiveSynch. If a device is found the Copy Selected to Device button will be visible. Select the songs you want to copy in the details window and press the Copy Selected to Device button. The songs will be copied to the \My Documents\My Music folder on the device.

Language Support:


pcYourPod comes with support for English, French, German and Spanish. Use the Settings -> Language menu item to select the language you want.
