We’re here for a review of “TouchCopy”, a very useful and easy to use utility to manage and backup the entire data on your iPod, iPhone or iPad to a PC or Mac. It frees you from the hassle of iTunes, it’s fast, comes with an intuitive interface and offers a bundle of features, but its functionality varies according to the specified device.

TouchCopy automatically detects an iPod, iPhone or iPad when it is connected to your computer. It displays all the music, playlists, podcasts on your device and presents them in neatly arranged lists. It has easy control buttons to do tasks like: transferring device content, playing media, backup option, search, etc.

What all Features TouchCopy offers:

• Ability to Transfer the entire content of your iPod, iPhone or iPad to your PC or Mac hard drive, or directly into iTunes. There are dedicated buttons ‘Copy to PC’ and ‘Copy to iTunes’ for that. It copies the music and restores all song data like album art, ratings, artists name, and play counts.

• Play music and videos directly from iPod through PC or Mac without having iTunes.

• Use your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad like an external hard drive – You can create a personal folder under ‘Files’ directory and move the desired data to it. But you can’t access that folder directly, though you can copy it anywhere on the computer.

TouchCopy by Wide Angle Software, is an effective tool to easily backup your iPod, iPhone or iPad, that comes handy when you change your computer or lose iTunes by mistake. However, the tool lacks much needed feature to transfer and manage songs, videos and playlists from computer to iPod/iPhone without requiring iTunes.

TouchCopy works with all iPods, iPhones and iPad  including the iPhone 4 and is available for both Windows and Mac OSX. The software is available as a free trial download, allowing up to 100 iPod songs or videos to be copied.
