iPodDisk
In honor of His Steveness' disdain for DRM, I thought it would be appropriate to highlight a little app that makes getting music off of your iPod easy as pie. Sure, there are a number of ways of accessing the music that resides on your iPod but iPodDisk combines two killer features: free and easy.That's right, if you have your iPod set to disk mode, iPodDisk allows you to browse, and copy, all the music that is on it (for backup purposes only, of course). It even offers Spotlight support, which is pretty awesome.
iPodDisk is free, but it is a PPC app at the moment, a Universal Binary is on the way shortly.

a newer product offers a newer format for acess to hidden info and its file management system Xfile has offered access to all of the files on iPods and your computer since its first introduction for OSX. They also offer Clix which is a great replacment for the command line terminal app. A happy user!
Excellent app! Simple. Better than Senuti or Yamipod

Its a bit of inflexible detection code that prevents it from launching.
I'll see what i can do in the next 2-3 days

I'll stick with senuti. It is simple enough for me. Don't need to see my music in disk mode.

not really, but its a good app
This a application seems to be a couple of shell script and a WebDAV server to make it visible as "filesystem" in OSX. Clever approach... :)
Since Google released MacFUSE, there's now a better way to provide a versatile access to the iPod's database through a filesystem.
Actually, there is a FUSE filesystem that does just that:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fusepod
However, OSX packages, even patches or building instructions for the lesser adept amongst us of FUSE filesystem for OSX are still rare. I hope this will change as development continues. I just played a bit with MacFUSE and it can provide a really cool approach to a lot of things.
A nice feature of this software is that it shows you the metadata info as the file and folder instead of the iPod's unintelligible file system.
I am curious to know how this was achieved.
here is universal binary version for this app
