Music Rescue overview

Note: Music Rescue is not being sold anymore and is listed only for people who had purchased it in the past.

Music Rescue... Your music library is precious. It contains all those memories of your youth or that first dance. With an iPod, it helps you work out, keeps you company when you drive and drowns out that noisy train ride into the city. Unfortunately, your music library is fragile. If your computer dies and takes your music with it, you still have your iPod, right? However, iTunes only lets you transfer tracks bought from the iTunes Store back to your new/fixed computer. What about those tracks ripped from CD, or lovingly recorded from your vinyl collection?

Enter Music Rescue - the answer to your nightmare. Music Rescue will copy your music, video, podcasts, audiobooks, audio recordings and notes right back to where they came from, be it iTunes, a custom media server or anything else.

Note: Music Rescue does not modify your music in any way, including DRM-encoded tracks from the iTunes Music Store. You'll still need to authorize your computer to play them.

Features at-a-glance:

  • Copies media from an iPod to your computer.
  • Adds tracks to iTunes and rebuilds playlists.
  • Supports all current iPods, including iPhone.
  • Compares iPod contents to local iTunes library.
  • Simple recovery of all media on your iPod.

Nice utility. But for those of you who (like me) object to Internet-based activation...be aware that this application indeed uses it. I find it objectionable that the developer does not even let us know on his web page. This has caused me to not register the license I purchased. I plan to replace my computer in a couple of months, and nothing on the web site tells how to transfer a license to a new machine.

When it was PodUtil it was freeware but it works like a gem, preserves all the data in the transfer, DOES work through firewire, and is a nifty lettle app.

Well, I've been using iPod Rip for some time now (wow, like 4 years almost...) and is really good app. Let's try this one but I'm not sure if it can beat the iPod Rip...

How many "iPod rescue" apps exist now? Aren't many of them free?

Bleh, a bloated RealBasic app which seems to be all spit and no polish. My instincts tell me to stay away from this one. I've used PodWorks for years and have been very happy with it--I'll stick with that.
