A friend of Kristin’s at work asked for help putting a DVD on their iPod. I said sure I would look at it expecting to get a DVD from a movie studio and need to decrypt and convert it to h.264. What I actually got was a burned DVD with a bunch of mp4 files already on it. Score all I needed to do was copy the files over. I downloaded about 4 programs before I found floola which does exactly that. It lets you manages your iPod sans iTunes. The most interesting thing I learned while playing with all of the copy files from your iPod to your computer programs is that more than a few of them also had the feature to submit your iTunes activity to last.fm which is brilliant, why would Apple choose to miss this social phenomenon.
