Minor changes

SharePod 3.0 - 18th May 2007

Major new feature list:
* iPod Shuffle support
* Video file import
* Play counts import
* Playlists and Ratings exported to iTunes
* Completely rewritten code to support adding/removing tracks and playlists
from your iPod
* Multi-backup and restore system
* More track properties (Composer, Description etc.)
* Track tag editing
* Drag and Drop files straight from your iPod onto your computer (and vice v
ersa)
* Big speed improvements for loading & searching
* Written using .NET framework (better performance, Vista support and stabil
ity)
- To add tracks to a playlist, select 1 or more tracks, then drag-drop them onto
the playlist you want
to add them to. If they are already in the playlist they wont be added twice.
- When copying to the iPod, each track is checked (Title, Artist, Album) to see
if it already exists. If it does, the track is not copied.
- SharePod now supports mp4/m4v files. Note the files you import must be in the
correct resolution/bitrate/etc for your iPod. SharePod doesnt re-encode the vi
deo, it is assumed it is already fit for the iPod. A good free encoder is Vide
ora (http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/)
- To export a playlist to iTunes, right-click on the playlist and select 'Copy T
o PC'. This will copy all the tracks in the playlist to your computer and creat
e an iTunes Import file to link those tracks to a playlist.
Alternatively, if you copy the selected tracks in the normal way, SharePod creat
es a default 'SharePod' playlist in iTunes.
- When using the Eject menu item, SharePod saves any outstanding changes, sends
the iPod its 'disconnect' command and exits. Sometimes Windows displays an erro
r message but this is safe to ignore.
