Swinsian Icon

Copying music from iPods and iOS Devices

Swinsian can be used to copy music from some iPods or iOS devices. It is possible to add music to some models of older iPods.

Requirements

iOS device interaction requires FUSE for OS X to be installed. It can be downloaded from https://osxfuse.github.io.

iOS devices are read-only.

Copying Music

To copy music that exists on a device into the local Swinsian library, select the device in the source list and find the tracks you wish to copy, then drag them onto the 'Library' item, or directly onto a local playlist to add them to a playlist as well.

To add tracks to supported devices, drag the tracks from the main table onto the device name in the source list on the left of the main window. To copy an entire playlist of tracks, drag the playlist onto the device.

If you wish to copy tracks from the local Swinsian library that are in a format not supported by iPods, then read the page on Transcoding.
