 It worked fine for me...Apr 24, 2010
After reading some of the reviews here, I suspect the problems other people are experiencing using this software is really because they're using PC's. I have a Mac and it worked fine. It did everything it claims. PC's are so problematic!
Unfortunately, the G4 I installed it on was stolen, so I have to start all over again with a newer G4. Do yourself a favor, BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVE FREQUENTLY!!!! I made back up's, but not since I installed Tune Transfer. BACK UP FREQUENTLY!!!! I can't stress this enough! I had thousands of albums saved, but fortunately a third of them I backed up on DVD's, so I'll only have to re-load a hundred or so.
I am buying Tune Transfer again because it worked great on my Mac G4. I am however, worried about a point someone brought up about iTunes version 9 disabling Tune Transfer. I'll write a follow-up as I have updated iTunes to version 9.1
4-28-10 update: Unfortunately it's true, Tune Transfer doesn't work if you're running iTunes version 9.1. I eagerly installed Tune Transfer once it came in the mail, but alas it didn't even recognize my iPod when connected. I tried a few times, but to no avail. I even tried multiple combinations of ejecting my iPod, quitting Tune Transfer and restarting, quitting iTunes and restarting, and restarting my computer. I even tried going to the maker's website to see if there was an update or fix to download.
Well, it "was" a good product. I can't entirely blame ValuSoft because I imagine it's very hard to keep up with Apples frequent updates.
 Tune Transfer for iPodsSep 02, 2009
Unfortunately, the product wouldn't even install on my Mac OS X Leopard, so I can't really say it didn't work--but unless it installs, it's useless, right? I contacted the seller's customer service over the internet, explained the problem, but got no reply. So I'm returning the software to Amazon, whose customer service answered my online request for a refund right away (hurray Amazon!). A few years ago, I had to download from my iPod when the old OS X crashed (it does that a lot). I downloaded something off the internet and it worked, I guess that's where I'll have to go again.

Be Careful: itunes newest version disables TuneTransfer(?)Jul 21, 2008
I would recommend buying the very latest ipod transfer software - not TuneTransfer.
I bought a used CD-ROM in July 2008, originally released 2006; but when I downloaded it into two separate PCs, neither failed to detect an ipod attached (even when I changed itunes settings to allow disk usage).
This tells me perhaps the latest version of itunes disables this software to detect the ipod, when attached - thus, not allowing transfer of songs.
...If itunes really wanted ipod memory to be transferrable, they would allow it. What they DON'T want is for songs purchased from itunes to be transferrable to any other computer, which could diminish download sales.

Terrible product and customer serviceMar 10, 2008
This product did not work (apparently they sent a later version) and when I contacted Valusoft to get the appropriate version mailed, they never sent it. Still trying to get it (months later).
CopyPod/CopyTrans is an amazing program!Jan 19, 2008
I agree with what everyone else said about CopyPod. It's been renamed as CopyTrans, but it's still the same program. I'm not computer saavy and I was panicked when my hard drive crashed. I just used the CopyTrans program and it was so easy. I started it, it told me to plug in the iPod, I clicked one button and it did EVERYTHING, including re-importing it to iTunes. Go with CopyTrans if you have to save your iPod. It's amazing.
