Users can start the transfer of the music with just three clicks. The first click selects the iPod that is connected to the computer, the second click selects the destination folder on the computer and the third finally starts the transfer of the music.

The tool can be configured to copy only mp3 files, retain the mp3 folder structure of the iPod and to overwrite existing files. The size of the music collection on your Apple iPod is shown as soon as you select the correct drive letter of the iPod. The space on the hard drive is however not listed in the application which makes it a bit of a guessing game if the music will fit on the hard drive.

The biggest advantage of iPod Folder is in my opinion that is it a portable application. This means that you could copy the software to your iPod and use it on another computer without having to download it before you can start copying the music from the iPod.

They are big, they tell everyone that you are a tourist (attracts criminals) and not that handy if you need a quick answer about a certain subway you need to catch.

The guys from iSubwaymaps might have been thinking about this as well when they decided to publish subway maps of some of the most popular cities in the world. (currently 24 including Hong Kong, Moscow and Washington next to the ones mentioned in the first paragraph)

Adding those maps (as images) to your iPod is relatively simple. Download and unpack the maps of your choice to your desktop. Open up iTunes and connect the iPod to your computer. Left-Click your iPod in the left pane (labeled source), click on Edit and choose Preferences.

Select the iPod tab and click on Photos. Activate Synchronize Photos from and choose select folder. Browse to the folder that you unpacked the map to and open it. This should be the last step (besides clicking ok) unless the unpacked map has a subfolder. If that is the case activate copy selected folders only. Click on OK afterwards and the pictures are transferred to your iPod.
