To think, it's been over five years since we last tackled how to get music off your iPod, as opposed to the other way around. Back then, the classic model had only recently added the infamous click wheel (while still rocking the monochrome screen, mind you), iPod nano was still called the mini, and viewing photos was a brand new feature worthy of having its own line. It's time to take another look at how to transfer media of all sorts -- audio, video, and pictures -- from a variety of iPods and iPhones back to your Windows or Mac OS X machine.

Nokia gets Mac-friendly with Media Transfer Beta
iSync's all well and good for the basics, but until now, Mac users have been left without a factory-supported option for transferring the good stuff -- music, pics, and apps -- from their phones to their computers and back. Enter Media Transfer, which (as the name implies) readily handles transfers between Macs and a variety of Nseries handsets via USB or Bluetooth. iTunes (only DRM-free files, including iTunes Plus), pictures, and video are all supported; the software tries to convert pretty much anything you can throw at it into a format your phone will support. Hit the link to see if the Nokia of your choice is compatible during the don't-blame-us-if-it's-buggy beta period, but be forewarned: if you don't sport an Nseries, don't even bother, 'cause your device ain't in the list yet (we're looking straight at you, E62 owners).[Via textually.org]
