![]() ![]() Floola is a FREE stand alone portable tool that can be used to manage the contents of your iTunes capable iPod or Motorola mobile phone. The interface is simple, bordering on simplistic, and is rife with minor imperfections. Its a standalone application that can be run directly from your iPod and needs no installation under Linux (any GTK2 distro), Mac OS X 10.3.9 or newer, and Windows 98 to Windows 7. Floola can be run directly from an iPod and can be used to manage your artwork, podcasts, smart playlists and notifications. In addition, a user can search for lost or duplicate files, videos, copy and extract. Don't let that keep you from checking it out, though, because there's an incredible amount that you can do with Floola. It can also copy songs from your iPod to your computer, grab videos from the Web, and, if you want, convert them to audio-only. It supports podcast catching, playlists, and will tell you if a song is not on a playlist. The Edit Song window lacks tags, but will-among its many features-reveal the absolute location of the song on the iPod, cracking Apple's labyrinthine system.įloola is a work in progress. The conversion utility is buggy, and newer iPods won't be compatible with the iPod-specific fwid hardware code. Instructions on how to obtain it are available in the Floola FAQ. Floola also doesn't play well with non-Apple jukeboxes, and you might need to use the iPod firmware repair available in iTunes or Floola to get it to work. Despite these problems, Floola is truly portable and works well enough to be considered a strong iTunes alternative. ![]()
