Just double-click a file and it will start playing with the little player in the status bar. Senuti can easily play tracks directly off of the portable device you’re accessing. All this could be done at the same time without it getting the stutters. It had good multitasking support too, such as playing a copying some tracks, and playing a song, changing the song being played, and finding new tracks, etc. It was not as feature rich as TouchCopy, but I personally didn’t need those additional features. Senuti was the one I liked most from the three. It was also a lot more expensive, and I don’t see any reason to pay for things I don’t need. Whilst TC had a lot more features, it was not my favorite. This might be what made it slower? Not sure. I gather it is a java based app (making it compatible on Windows and OS X). Although the search feature in Senuti sufficed for this. This made it very easy to locate and hone in on an album or one artist for instance. ![]() It was the only one of the three to have window frames for Genre, Artist, and Albums. There are, like the other applications, buttons to transfer tracks to the device, and to transfer to iTunes. TC has some nice features like a preference to “Highlight tunes with DRM protection” saving search results as a playlist a report which shows the tracks not in iTunes and other preferences you might find useful. Waiting 5 minutes to find this out was not too cool. The instruction was then to remove encryption using iTunes. Actually when I clicked on Notes it took about 5 minutes to eventually come back and tell me my data is encrypted. I have no idea what it was doing, but it took some minutes.Ĭlicking on Notes (and any of the other non-media related areas would also take a long time to load. It took a very long time to give me access after plugging in my partially full 64GB iPod Touch. It allows for accessing your music, movies, podcasts, audiobooks, photos, and other data such as contacts, calendar, notes, and files. TouchCopy (TC) was the most feature rich. There is not much more to say about it, as it cost more than Senuti, yet doesn’t work as well. Combined, these two “bugs” made it impossible to easily drill down to albums, artists, genres, etc. The fact that the search feature always came up with no results also didn’t help. Basically there was no way to easily access just one album or artist, for instance. For instance, I was not able to sort by column (album, artist, etc.) in iPodTransfer, which was a pain. MIPT looked good, but didn’t function well. I’ve tried Macsome iPodtransfer, TouchCopy, and Senuti. This is where third party applications come into play. This is fine it’s your own iPod or one for which you have a local copy of all the tracks, but what if a friend hands you their iPod or you lose your music on your computer and the only copy left is on your portable device? It will always want to sync the iPod and take ownership of it. ITunes does not make it easy to extract music (or other files) from miscellaneous iPods and iPhones. With great reluctance I switched to iTunes when I started using Mac. ![]() Everything else seems feeble in comparison to the Monkey. On Windows my preferred media manager, by a long shot, was MediaMonkey. ![]() I never used iTunes until I switched to Mac. The primary gripe I have with Apple is the way they lock the user into a particular way of doing things.
