iPods are ubiquitous these days and they come in all sizes. The iPod classic which has 180 GB of hard disk space lets you carry your music library along with you. And then there is iTunes which is a must if you want to put media in to your iPod. iTunes lets you ‘sync’ your songs, videos, TV shows from your computer to the player.

But what if you delete the media from your PC once you have copied it to your iPod? You might sometimes delete the music that you have copied onto the iPod to free up some disc space.Then the player is the only source and if you want the songs back on the computer, there is no way you can do it. This is where CopyTrans comes to the rescue.

CopyTrans formerly known as CopyPod is a recovery and backup tool for your videos and songs on the player. You can use the application to create a back up of all the songs and videos that you have on your iPod. The soft ware stores songs, videos, playlists, ratings, podcasts, artworks, playcount and other such information on to your PC by creating a back up from iPod, iPhone or iPod Touch.

CopyTrans is intuitive and easy to use. You have to connect the iPod to the computer; CopyTrans will automatically get you a list of all the tracks, videos, movies on the player. You can then select the ones that you want to restore, transfer or copy on to your computer. You can select the items one by one, or by album, playlist or artist. The select all check box is there if you want to transfer all your data.

Once you are done selecting the files, simply press the “Start Backup” button and the application will automatically transfer the data to your computer or to the iTunes application. If you don’t have iTunes installed in your computer, you can simply get it to a folder on the PC.

CopyTrans is a great way to preserve your music. iTunes lets you purchase music for your iPod but the data get transferred directly to your player and iTunes doesn’t allow tracks to be downloaded to the computer. Your data is safe even if you lose your iPod, if you get a new one later, you can easily transfer your data on the new player.

The application will also come in handy if your OS crashes and you lose your iTunes library. You can use CopyTrans for getting all your favorite tracks from the iPod back to the computer.

You can try CopyTrans free of cost for 14 days, in which you get a limited backup of hundred tracks per session. If you like it, you will have to pay a fee of $19.99 for the license. You will have to download the installer from www.copytrans.net and put in the unlock code that you get on the purchase. You can also check out other products like CopyTrans Manager, CopyTrans Doctor, iCloner, iLibs and CopyTrans Photo.
