When dealing with computers, one of the most frustrating experiences is having the hard drive die, taking your digital life with it. Thankfully, you have carefully and thoroughly backed up your data, right? …Right?

PodWorksFor those times when you don’t have a backup of the music on your iPod, or would simply like to retrieve it elsewhere, the handy and intuitive utility PodWorks is here to help. PodWorks presents a list of the music stored on a connected iPod, and enables you to simply copy the selected files back on your Mac in the original form. To find what you’re looking for among the myriad of songs which may reside on your iPod, PodWorks offers a list of current playlists, as well as features an iTunes style search field.

For a mere $8, PodWorks is one utility iPod owners may find indispensable when transferring music around.

for those who are on a budget, senuti is another great program that can retrieve music from your iPod. it has most, if not all of the same features as PodWorks.. plus, it's free! i've been using senuti and i highly recommend it.
