reTune is a tool designed for iPod users who are dissatisfied with iTunes. The software offers a solution for those seeking an alternative application to manage their iPods.
If you are an iPod user who is not content with using iTunes to manage your music files, then reTune may be the solution for you. This tool allows you to copy music to your iPod using various file managers such as Explorer, Finder, Konqueror, and Nautilus, and even with CP. With reTune, you can play back your music files on your iPod with almost no difficulties.
All you need to do is launch the program after plugging in your iPod to your USB port and before unplugging it. It's important to keep in mind that reTune is still in its early stages of development and that it may or may not function correctly for you. As a precaution, it's always a good idea to create a backup of the /iPod_Control/iTunes directory before trying reTune. Additionally, the creator of reTune is not responsible for any damages that may occur due to its usage.
ReTune functions by scanning the entire iPod volume for playable files. It retrieves metadata such as ID3 tags from these files, moves them to a location where the iPod can access them, and then writes the collected metadata and file names to an iTunesDB file that is necessary for proper playback. This process is referred to as freezing. ReTune also keeps track of the original file names of the music files added to the database. Therefore, you can unfreeze the song database and move the music files back to their original location within the iPod's filesystem.
Overall, reTune is a helpful tool that offers iPod users the ability to manage their music files seamlessly. However, it's important to note that the tool is still in development and may have some glitches that could potentially damage your iPod. Therefore, proceed with caution and make sure to back up your files before trying it out.
