iTunes Alternative for iPod Shuffle 3G/4G without iTunes

The latest update of the free iTunes Alternative (CopyTrans Manager) included the support of iPod Shuffle 3G and 4G. I also detected some minor graphical changes in the interface, which make this iTunes replacement still more and more user-friendly.

If you want to manage iPod, iPhone or iPad without iTunes you should use this app. It's always up to date and the support team seems to be very reactive (according to user feedbacks on their Facebook page).

iPod, iPhone and iPad without iTunes & without duplicates

CopyTrans Manager the free Alternative to iTunes has been updated recently. It now supports the management of duplicate files on iPod, iPhone and iPad. Meaning that if you're going to add music to your iPhone, CopyTrans Manager recognizes already existing tracks and won't add them once again.

If you've already got duplicate files on your iPhone, you can easily show and delete them. Therefore just push the right mouse button in the main track-list and choose "Show duplicates". This way you can easily delete all duplicate songs, videos etc. from your iDevice.

Theme support in CopyTrans Manager?

Ok, so I've just switched to Windows 7 (been hanging on to XP for far too long jaja). Pretty cool I'd say. A lot faster indeed.

I'm having a hard time getting used to the new Control Panel and even more to the new look. Too "candy-ish" for me ... guess I just need to get used to it.

Of course, I've installed all of my favorite apps, including -if you're reading this blog than you'll know I have to talk about it- CopyTrans Manager :-)

Good news: It works perfectly (Win 7 Pro 64bits), you'll have to install the drivers for the iPhone or iPod Touch ... and also make sure to take the correct (64bits) iTunes version.

Bad news: Well it kind of sticks out from the rest of the apps. Arg.

As I'm not one to just accept things as they are, I started looking at the Advanced Settings available in the Settings Tab. Found one setting called Skin so I was hoping I could just get rid of the old-school Mac theme ... that was a no-go.
However, after a lot more digging and google searching I did find out that you could create themes using a skinning application and basically import msstyles and save as .skn file. Couple of tweeks later, this is my result. (I'll put more work into it at a later time).

The theme I used is called "Windows 7 M1 VS" made by deskmundo (cheers!)

It's been (again) quite some time since I've updated this blog.

Recently, I've been moving all of my iPods (Shuffle and iPod Touch) to CopyTrans Manager. I use it on a day-to-day basis and really don't even realize I've not started iTunes in so long... I therefore forget to post here. Sorry.

Here's a list of news in CopyTrans Manager, the iTunes alternative.

* All iPod music and video meta tag data fields are modifiable.
* Auto-search for iPhone album artwork




* Basic theming support (will be posting a how-to soon)
* CopyTrans Fan page with tips and contests:

A long needed update

Hi All,

well it's been quite a while and a lot of new CopyTrans Manager versions have come my way.

I'll try to find some time to update accordingly but for now I'd just like to summarize the key updates that I have found in the newest version:

* New iPod media player, pops out of the main window. Seems pretty well done, shows iPod music artwork, track ratings, etc. Nice feature, you can now change the track playing order.

* Advanced preferences. There are tons of things to change in here. Seems like there is soon going to be some skinning going on! There's an option there but does not seem activated yet... I'm definitively looking forward to that though!

* I've tried CopyTrans Manager with the latest iPod Nano 5G, and everything works perfectly.

Have to go!
