Good app just having trouble

Not sure where I could have contacted you but I’m having a small issue. The app reads my iPod just fine, I just had to find the 16 hexadecimal number to connect my iPod. I can see my library but when I try to save a song to my iPad it tells me that the “an exported audio file failed verification. The incomplete export was removed.”

Only wish Rename iPod Name

It works perfect amazing work only one wish rename the iPod instead of the number I’d shown in the app

Amazing!

Been waiting for a way to do this using stock iPod firmware. It’s perfect and simple and amazing thank you

Great app. But I hope that iPod nano 7 support is added

This is an amazing app, and It has a lot of potential. I would like it if we got support for the iPod nano 7. If you’d like I could test it for you if you at least add the option, thanks for making this

Big

Simple and easy app, won’t let me access my own local folder with mp3 to connect to my device. Need more support for older model iPods like mini

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll look into the local folder access issue and continue improving support for older iPod models.
