In depth

A closer look at Podestal for OSX 0.1

Podestal allows one to easily download any files stored on Apple's iPod. The application provides two views into the files on an iPod; a file view and a music view. The file centric view works much like the Finder's list view. The music view parses the ID3 tags associated with the MP3 files and organizes the various mp3 tracks by Artist, Album and, finally, tracks.

An icon view at the bottom of the window allows the current selection to be copied via drag and drop. Anything that can accept filenames via the clipboard can be a drag target; Finder, Mail messages, etc. Multiple files or music tracks can be selected.

Podestal scans for a mounted iPod when launched. As well, the application should detect and automatically display the contents of any iPod that is hot-connected to the machine. Podestal also listens for unmount events and updates its display accordingly. FireWire Disk Use must be enabled for Podestal to work! Conveniently, if Podestal is running and you enable FireWire Disk Use and click OK, Podestal will receive a mount notification and update itself appropriately. Likewise, if you disable the ability for the iPod to act as a FireWire Disk, Podestal will correctly update the display.
