The Mac developer community has given us Mac users a ton of great software for our iPods. I’ve talked about many of my favorite programs in the past. Most of these, like Pod2Go and Podlock are shareware and commercial. But what if you wanted the best that freeware had to offer for your iPod? What if you wanted a core of freeware programs that would offer you the ultimate package for your iPod? I decided that I would wade through the freeware programs available and offer you a small group of five applications that would make your iPod work for you.

I understand that many of these programs have an alternative or two that might work just as well, but I went with the software I knew worked for me. I am also painfully aware that when going through all the freeware available for the Mac, and in particular, the iPod, I might have missed a program or two that should really be in my ultimate package. If you would be so kind as to email me with your additions, I’ll be happy to take a look and see if I agree with your assessment. Finally, it goes without saying that the main freeware program for the iPod is, of course, iTunes. I did not consider any programs that did what iTunes already can do, and I did not consider any freeware that works with iTunes - that’s for another article. Now, without further delay, here is my Ultimate iPod Freeware Package.
