With Senuti, you can preview your tracks right from within the app, before you decide what's worth transferring and what is not. A simple drag and drop action within the application will not only copy songs to your computer and add them to iTunes, but it will also make a new playlist with the same name and add all of the songs to that list. Senuti uses this file to read the playlists on your iPod, and allows you to transfer them back to your computer.

Playlist information is also stored here, allowing iTunes to see what's on your iPod. Every bit of information on every song on your iPod is stored in the iTunesDB file. Senuti manages to transfer songs from an iPod to a computer easily, by reading a hidden file on the iPod (iTunesDB), in order to get all of the information quickly and accurately. The application is free to download and use for owners of a Mac running OS X 10.3 or later. Version 0.50.2 adds iPod touch and iPhone support, some crash reporter enhancements, as well as a few bug fixes.

If any of you have an older Ipod Classic, or Nano kicking around I would highly suggest loading Rockbox you will not be sorry.Developer Whitney Young has recently updated Senuti, the simple utility that makes transferring songs from an iPod to your computer quick and easy. They want to maintain the dual boot feature and they could not do it with the Touch. Unfortunately they where never able to come up with a version for an iPod Touch. It does not affect any of the existing files on board and because your PC see it as a hard drive copying or moving the files off is not problem. For a person like me who because of decades in a low brass section of a Jazz/big band sitting in front of the drum set(s) I have something of a hear loss, thanks to Rockbox on the Sansa E260 I have adjustments to compensate for my hearing deficit. Every parameter of equalization is there, not just a frequency volume control like you have always seen. The graphic equalizer section almost turns your player into a mini recording studio.

Rockbox adds Ogg Vorbis, Flac, and other codex's to what the iPod will play as well. With Rockbox on board the PC see it as another hard drive. You can boot it up in the Apple OS and sync it as normal in iTunes or boot it on Rockbox at other times. ( ) what is nice about Rockbox it enables your iPod to have a dual boot system, Apple or Rockbox, and they do not get in the way of each other. If it happens to be and older Ipod Classic you can load up an alternative freeware OS called Rockbox
