Off-topic - Xilisoft Gives iTunes a Boost kiki1222 - Mon Aug 31, 2009 6:49 pm Post subject: Xilisoft Gives iTunes a Boost
I love iTunes, it think it is a fantastic piece of software, and I love my iPod, but there are certain limitations that makes them slightly irritating. For instance, I can’t transfer my contents from my ipod back onto my computer. When my computer is having issues and I have to re-install windows, there goes all my itunes music. To avoid losing all my content, I’d have to transfer all my files to a portable hard drive first. The iPhone Transfer takes care of this issue. The iPhone Transfer allows me to upload all my iPod contents to my computer at any time. Say I just got a new computer; well, I can simply just transfer all my iPod / iPhone music to my computer with Xilisoft iPhone Transfer. Sharing music is easy again, I can finally transfer all my friends music onto my computer.
Now, there are a handful of programs out there that does pretty much the same thing, so how does one distinguish the good from the bad. I'm sure some of the others programs work just as well, but there's also a bunch which are just scams and spyware. To be honest, I have not tried any of the others, ‘cause I have this one, and it’s been working just dandy. Xilisoft products are rated well in CNET.com, Digital River, Vector, and other software websites.
The Xilisoft iPhone Transfer works very similar to iTunes, in fact, you can even synch iPhone Transfer with iTunes. It’s more of an add-on to iTunes than anything else. Just to make transferring music, videos, and pictures easy. The software is free to try. harvey438 - Mon Aug 31, 2009 9:13 pm Post subject:
