iPodExtractor

[Robgig1088]

hey guys this is my first post (w00t w00t). i wrote a program to extract music from your iPod to your pc in case of a hardware failure. I couldnt find a free one on google and it seemed like a fun project so i figured what the heck. anyway, this program is still in beta, though it is fully functional. So if you would, please give it a try and give me any errors/suggestions/praise that you feel are due. thanks ^_^

the link to upload wasnt working for some reason so i put it on my webserver iPodExtractor.exe

heh yeah sorry guys i totally did not expect so many hits within a few minutes o____o, i only have like 80 kb/sec upload speed sorry about that =\

thanks for trying it out ^____^

I noticed after install it doesn't make a desktop shortcut ;) Make an option during install would be good.

Btw, Good work so far (Y)

[Robgig1088]

ahh yes righto it seems i forgot to check that option in the compiler this time around. will be fixed in the next release. thanks

You should make a torrent if you have a slow upload. Slow upload + slow upload + slow upload..... = fast :)

[Robgig1088]

ooh thats a really good idea! I may do just that for the final release =D

[Alladaskill17]

Video support maybe? Later? Btw welcome to Neowin!

[Robgig1088]

oh man *slaps forehead* i forgot to mention that you must either enable the ipod for disk access or kill iPodService.exe. this is something i hope to fix in a later release =\

and yes i think video will be not this stable release but the next one when i redo some of my code. thanks for all the suggestions :D

Robgig1088 : As soon as it finishes D/Ling (27%), would you mind if I RARed and uploaded it to something thaat can give people full speeds :p?

A COUPLE OF POINTS THAT MUST BE READ!!!!:

firstly, the ipod must be set to "harddrive mode" in the itunes preferences.

secondly, as of now, it does not check to see if the folder it is trying to make already exists (thus indicating the presence of that album already) so you will have duplicate songs if you extract an album you already have!

thirdly, the option to put all the songs into one directory does not work. i figured nobody would use it and i wanted to get this release out asap so i could figure out what else i need to fix.

[Robgig1088]

ah yes i forgot that i had posted these rules. and yes i would very much appriciate you uploading it to a server. I would do it right now but im quite busy :D
