Our next program, [iPodRip][4] from [The Little App Factory][5], is also available in both Mac and Windows flavors. Not only that, but the Mac version is a universal binary. Our review applies to the Mac version only.

IPodRip is shareware and costs $14.95. The unlicensed version is not crippled, but will expire after 10 uses, which means if you just need to recover from a hard drive failure or similar one-time problem, iPodRip can do it for free.

IPodRip features, drag-and-drop support for moving songs off your iPod directly into iTunes, as well as one-click importing to restore everything. Alternately you can select individual songs and import them one at a time or in groups.

IPodRip also allows for something it terms "smart sync" which allows you to copy songs based on various criteria (pretty much like "smart playlists" in iTunes).

IPodRip also features a number of nice extras not found elsewhere, such as a database check for your iPod DB, an option to export your library information to HTML or XML formats, and sync metadata between your iPod and iTunes.




####The Lowdown

**Good**

*	Can sync iTunes to iPod with one click
*	Available for Windows and Mac
*	Excellant additional features

**Bad**

*	Not free (though it can be used 10 times with no limitations)
