 not worth it December 20, 2009

This software was difficult to use, didn't do what it said, and I ended up having to buy another tool to do the same thing. There are others out there, keep looking.
 Used it on XP and Vista machines, works fine June 12, 2009

First of all, to all the reviewers who claim it doesn't work, did you ever think about checking the manufacturers site for a patch? Didn't think so. A simple patch fixed the problems I was having with the product when I purchased it, and as my review title says, I've used it on XP and Vista (Vista 64 at that) so if it's not working for you, maybe you need to download the patch.
Now on to the actual product. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I have transferred my iTunes library across 4 different computers now, given 3 different friends songs off my iPod, and I've never lost any songs in the process. I've admittedly never messed with any of the video features, simply because I don't use my iPod for video. Song wise though, this program is solid. When it syncs (had slight trouble syncing the first time, but it caught it within a minute) it gives you several views. It shows you what songs are in your iTunes library, what songs are on your iPod, and what songs are in one, but not the other, etc. From there you can drag the entire iPod contents that aren't in your iTunes library into your iTunes in one easy step. All in all, I am very satisfied with this product, my friends and I use it whenever we need to transfer music (and there isn't any crappy license on the software, so you can spread it around to your friends if they need it). This software does what it is supposed to do: it makes you feel like you actually own your music.

This software is ABSOLUTE garbage. It does not detect the ipod, the 'patches' are not valid, it is sheer garbage.. I bought mine at Best Buy, and after REPEATED attempts at contacting the very lacking (non-existent) customer service at Valusoft (my emails came BACK TO ME), I am seeing red...... I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
This entire experience has been infuriating. Never again!

This was one of those impulse buys that I completely regret!
After confirming that I exceeded software requirements, I installed this piece of trash. Setup seemed to go off without a hitch. When I tried to run it, I got the TUNE TOOLS for iPOD screen and it stayed up there- nothing else. Poking through their knowledge base (on valuesoft's website), I find that this is a known issue (there's a hyperlink in their knowledge base for this problem- Tune Tools is sitting at the splash screen). Most other software companies would have a 'search for updates' after install or an update checker. Not our little friends at valuesoft!
So I do what they recommend and I am able to move past their little splash screen. Next, comes an error: System unable to start- Error NULL or UNKNOWN. From my previous trip to their knowledge base, I saw that there was mention of that too. So I downloaded this patch. The splash screen error merely required a quick update in the property url. This one was an executable. I tried to run it and got an error: previous version of tune tools could not be found, please install tune tools before running this update). So I uninstalled and reinstalled tried again, had lunch, uninstalled, reinstalled, tried again, reboot, try in safe mode, no go, turned off firewalls, antivirus- you get the picture. Nothing working. Went back to knowledge base and searched for my problem, but only ended up finding out there were many more problems with this software. Do not buy this. It is a piece of junk. Just for funsies, I loaded this on a second computer just to be on the safe side. Guess what? Same thing! Believe what others are saying here- this product does not work. Steer clear, big tuna!
 Not fantastic, but not a dog either! January 25, 2008

Your mileage may vary, but in my experience this product is NOT the complete dog that the other reviews point to. I'm running it on a laptop with Vista Home Premium. Once I figured out that you have to have hard drive access enabled on your iPod (a setting in iTunes)it works like a charm.
I successfully cloned ~3000 songs from a 30gb iPod Classic to a new 8gb iPod Nano. I like the ability to edit properties of the songs, delete duplicates, etc.
The interface is only adequate, not great, and the help a little skimpy - but its only 19.95 and it does extend greater flexibility in managing single & multiple iPods.
