… also wondering if it will “exchange” only music between them or if the whole libraries will be synched, including podcasts and movie clips ?

to extend black milk’s question, will it work if, let’s say, I connect my apple-formated ipod & my daughter’s window$-formated ipod together on my mac pro ?

I still want an answer to my earlier question: Does Misu sync play counts and ratings as well as tracks?

Brings back memories of that children’s rhyme. You know my friend is your friend and your friend is my friend. My iPod is your iPod and your iPod is my iPod.

@Peter

What Apple generally want to do almost always is create an ecosystem of products and services that are virtually guaranteed to work well together. Hence iTunes/iPods, .Mac, Apple TV and select 3rd party services like YouTube and flickr. It does make sense, from their perspective.

However, the restrictions built in to that ecosystem (in this case as FairPlay DRM) were designed to comfort labels and make wide-scale piracy difficult.

@John: true, good example of use.
This has actually got me wondering why Apple made it such that you can’t transfer any music from an iPod to anything else (computer, iPod or anything else) without resorting to third-party applications (I remember discovering stuff like Senuti and another app beforehand, and realising that, because our network was so slow and OS X wasn’t the greatest for network transfers back then, this would be the best way for me to get songs off my dad’s computer, & so on).
Was it something to reassure labels?

“Mi iPod es Su iPod” seems to be itâ€¦ although it doesn’t explicitly say “this is what the name misu diverged from” so one can only guess.

Mi iPod es Su iPod/My iPod is your iPod

By: John

It also means that those who have a few iPods can easily transfer their own music between them without having to sync to a particular iTunes install on a particular machine.

Jeez. What’s with the immediate assumption of guilt?

Anyway, if it’s an April Fools then it’s moot, although there was a preview of this a while back here. If it is a joke then someone should develop it anyway!

Mi iPod es Su iPod is the phrase that pays I assume… My iPod is your iPod

By: Peter

Peter — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:04:34 +0000

What I don’t understand is the fact “MacApper does not endorse or recommend copying music that you do not own”, yet reviews Misu, whose main purpose is to avoid the hassle of importing music you don’t have on your computer and then sending it to another iPod (”Mi iPod es Su iPod”).
This means there is a great chance the owner of the second iPod does not own the music being transferred to it in the first place.
