SharePod – change, back-up & share the files on your iPod

Have you ever found yourself needing to back-up files from your iPod? I mean, admit it, most of us don’t really like storing large music and video files in our hard drive. And since most of the new iPod models contain large memory (to date, up to 160 GB) that we tend to rely on its capacity. I have personally experienced losing 50 GB worth of files in my iPod and I’m telling you it wasn’t an experience I want to remember; I haven’t recovered everything until now. So, to avoid file loss and to have extra perks than that of other iPod-reader softwares, download SharePod.
