Transfer songs from your iPod and iPhone to Mac
Imagine you've just got that shiny new iPod or iPhone and you've filled it with your favorite music. But one day you may want to transfer songs back from your iPod or iPhone to your Mac. Frustratingly, with iTunes you can't do so, which is why Senuti was invented.
Senuti could be useful to transfer music after a hard drive crash, the purchase of a new computer or just to move music between computers. When your iPod or iPhone is connected, Senuti instantly lists all the songs and playlists that it can detect. It can automatically add songs to your iTunes library or you can define a folder for them to go into. If you are worried about duplicates, Senuti displays a small blue dot next to every song you already have in your library.
The first thing that strikes you is the simplicity of the interface followed by the speed of Senuti. It uses a small file known as 'iTunesDB' on your iPod or iPhone device to rapidly extract every bit of essential information for every song and playlist. In addition, it supports simple dragging and dropping of both music and playlists, which will not only copy songs to your computer and add them to iTunes, but will make a new playlist with the same name and add all of the songs to that list.
Some users have complained of instability issues but I experienced no such problems. Senuti detected my iPod's songs instantly and transfers to iTunes were extremely quick.
Senuti offers a quick and simple way of transferring songs and playlists from your iPod or iPhone to your Mac.

PLAY COUNT NOT INCLUDED (when it had been in past versions).
I purchased Senuti 4 years ago when I went from PC to MAC. I transmitted all of my music from my iPod classic (which I still have) to iTunes in my new computer. I purchased Senuti solely because the program would keep my play count - that was most important to me. Very happy with the result. Fast forward 4 years later. My hard drive failed and was replaced. I remember that Senuti was a one time purchase and so I used it again. THIS TIME, my play count was not included! I emailed them this dilemma thinking maybe there is something that I forgot to do but they replied back saying that they do not have a solution for this. What??? How does that make sense? I replied back again and they've yet to return my message. I'm very disappointed in these results and their response.
Cons:
Play count NOT included
Playlists not easily transferred over More

Great piece of software, does exactly what it says on the tin..
Was trying to get my old iPod Classic to sync with a new Mac, when the old Mac was no longer available. I spent the best part of an evening looking at Apple support without a solution, but found Senuti, installed it and it worked like a charm. Recommended!
Pros:
ease of use More

Gets your ipod saved to a new mac without easily & efficiently
This is the first time I needed to do this so cannot compare to other programs - but $18 this is pretty good value.
Pros:
Easy to install and use. Cheap. No specialised knowledge required - just common sense!
Cons:
Cant think of any. Dont forget to turn off autosync on itunes before connecting ipod. More
