iPOD’s secret is marketing. iPOD won its first battle in 2002 when it surpassed Creative’s hard-disk based MP3 player which even had a smaller price. The secret weapon? The marketing team behind iPOD managed to promote the idea that iPOD is not just an equipment for playing music, but a whole concept. In December 2002, iPOD launches models that bear the signatures of stars like Madonna, Beck, Tony Hawk and No Doubt. All the celebrities fell in love with the little player, which made a career in video clips, music magazine, even at Oprah’s shows. Where could you get a better marketing?
iPOD’s second secret was Microsoft’s Windows. The first iPOD models launched in October 2001 only worked with Macs and iTunes program which copied CDs and then transferred to iPOD. Apple thought then that this combination will be enough to ensure the player’s success. By July 2002, 150,000 units had been sold. People were not ready to buy a Mac fro the sake o a MP3 player.
In July 2002 realized that and launched Windows compatible models which used as transfer software MusicMatch. In less than two years, iPod sales reached 2 million units. Microsoft found out too late what had happened and HP declared that is too late to think about an alternative and prefers to launch an iPOD version together with Apple. iTunes Music Store and the download revolution owe iPOD their celebrity and not the other way around.

Yeah, NyaR is right... why pay for this **** when you can use explorer and to the same?
What I'd like to ask is: can anyone recommend a piece of software like this which is the best in its field?

It's up to you to decide!
Disk cataloger. File organizer. Disk and file cataloging. What is it? Why do I need Argentum MyFiles? A disk cataloger or a file organizer is an application that records the directory structure, but not the contents, of a volume. The saved directory structure of a volume is called a disk catalog. Since loading a disk catalog is much faster than loading the directory structure from the actual disk, searching and browsing a disk catalog is much faster than searching or browsing an actual disk.
More important, a disk cataloger can store disk catalogs for more than one volume. And, a volume does not need to be available on the desktop while you are browsing the catalog. This allows you to have a single disk catalog containing the library of all of your CD-ROM's, DVD-ROM's, removable media volumes, network locations and floppy disks. Using a disk cataloger you can, in one move, search all of your volumes, be they available on your desktop, in a box next to your computer, or at the office on the other side of town. And, because only the directory information - not the actual volume data - is saved, disk catalogs are quite compact.
A simple example. Assume that you have a number of CD-ROM's, each containing several thousand files. On one of these discs is a file that you would like to view. You have no idea which disc contains the file. Without a disk cataloger, you would need to insert each CD-ROM individually and use Windows Find File to search for the file. This can be quite time-consuming, considering how long it takes to insert, search, and eject a CD-ROM. With a disk cataloging application, as long as all of those CD-ROM's were scanned into a catalog file, you need only to search that file. The search will be extremely fast, and you don't need to insert any of the CD-ROM's except for the one that actually contains the file.
Besides the primary purpose of a basic file organizer to store, search, browse and organize your disk collection, a good file cataloging program should also be able to describe the contents of a disk catalog with your own comments, extract additional file information (descriptions) from files of common types, export disk catalogs into good-looking HTML reports and rich XML files. With Argentum MyFiles you are able to store, search, browse, organize and share your collection! All features are packed into one combined product.
