iPod.iTunes 3.0 released
CrispSofties today released , adding the ability to synchronize songs, videos, playlists, ratings, played dates, and play counts in both directions between iPods and iTunes. Ipod.iTunes is designed to keep songs, videos, and playlists on different Macs and iPods up to date, and can perform a full restore of these items after a hard disk failure. The software updates foreign iPods not linked to your iTunes library without deleting content on the device or touching the link, and can update a linked iPod without deleting content on it as iTunes "auto update" does when tracks on the iPod are no longer in the iTunes library. Ipod.iTunes 3.0 offers numerous small changes to the user interface, and includes various bug fixes. Ipod.iTunes 3.0 is available for $35, and requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

Although I thank the author of this program (and others who have done the same) for allowing people to do what they should be able to do in the first place.
This is one area where I think Apple should allow me to sync my laptop and my desktop with my iPod. They allow 5 computers to play the music that I purchase from the ITMS, why can't I sync my iPod with those same computers?
This software costs $29 and all it does is make up for something where Apple has purposely crippled us.
