iPODion is a software that functions as both an iPod song browser and file ripper.
If you're a fan of iPods and are looking for a song browser and file ripper, iPODion might be for you. It's easy to use - simply drag a mounted iPod onto its icon, and it will load the iPod's database file and provide an interface for playing songs on the device.
What sets iPODion apart from other iPod browsers is that it uses the iTunesDB file written by iTunes. This means it can access all the information included in the iTunes Library, rather than just the data stored in each song's ID3 tags. It then displays this information in the classic iTunes interface that many of us know and love.
But why might you need iPODion? Let's say you brought your iPod to work, but your main iTunes library is on your home computer. Without iPODion, there's no easy way to access the songs on your iPod without erasing them all. iTunes will complain that the iPod was not synced with this computer, and that's the end of that. However, iPODion allows you to play the songs straight off your iPod's drive or copy them to your own hard drive with ease.
All you need to do is select the songs in the playlist and drag them to the new location. This is especially useful for iPod Shuffle owners who don't have the luxury of a screen to navigate through their music. Overall, iPODion is a simple and effective solution for anyone who wants to access their iPod's contents without the need for iTunes.
