RedChairSoftware Anapod Explorer v9.0.6

Anapod Explorer offers iPod management through full Windows Explorer integration under My Computer, easy drag and drop iPod transfer and iPod backup, PDA function support, photo and video transfer, web page interface access to your iPod through a built-in web server, powerful search and reporting capabilities using a built-in SQL database, and much more, all in one compact package. A great backup tool or iTunes alternative. Version 8.9.9 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, and bug fixes.

Anapod Explorer gets points for trying a different take on music file management. Used in lieu of iTunes, Anapod looks and feels like Windows Explorer because, essentially, it is. A beefed-up version of the native Windows file-navigating tool, everything in Anapod will be familiar: the navigation hierarchy on the left column, with folder contents in the central pane and the standard toolbar with an added Anapod button at the top.
