Hey,
Decided to have another go at podRipper (Again.. ). For those who don't know what podRipper is ill give you a quick explanation. Basically its a program, written in Java (So you'll need Java version 6 or greater installed to run it), that is designed for copying music FROM your iPod back onto your computer. Since its coded in Java it will run on any platform the java runtime will run on which happens to be about neally every operating system currently avalible ;D
System Requirements:
32bit
- Windows 2000 (SP3+) Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Red Hat 9.0, Red Hat 2.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0/4.0, Suse Enterprise Linux Server 8/9/10, Suse Enterprise Desktop, Turbo Linux 10 (Chinese and Japanese only), Solaris 8/9/10, Mac OS X
- 128mb of RAM
64bit
- Windows XP Professional 64 Bit Edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0/4.0, Suse Enterprise Linux Server 8/9/10, Suse Enterprise Desktop, Solaris 8/9/10 (Solaris 8 and 9 only supported for SPARC prosessors), Mac OS X
- 128MB of RAM
podRipper may run on other linux distributions, but it is unsupported. Operation on any other OS apart from Windows is experimental.
Change log:
- Fixed a number of bugs.
- Added error reporting and detection.
- A log file is now generated in the target destination in the default Java Logger XML format.
- Files missing ID3 or Atom tags are now stored in the unknown folder rather than being skipped.
- Few minor changes here and there.
Known Issues:
- Files that are detected as missing ID3 or Atom tags throw a java.lang.NullPointerException error in the console (if open) and the log file. This can be safely ignored.
