Candysoft has released CopyToy, a Mac OS X and Windows compatible app that allows users to copy music and other kinds of data from an iPod, iPad and iPhone to a computer. It costs US$19.95 and is available for download at the Candysoft web site (http://www.candysoft.com/copytoy/). All customers receive free lifetime updates.
You can copy entire music libraries, along with their respective metadata. Users retain all their artist, album, and genre information, along with all others, when copying files, according to the folks at Candysoft.
What’s more, CopyToy can also handle movies, photos, games, playlists, podcasts, TV Shows, and iTunesU files. This means, for instance, that users won´t need to re-download large iTunesU files.
