We are delighted to announce Adapter as the newest addition to our collection of freeware programs!

Adapter provides users with a cross platform (Mac & PC) means of converting video, images and audio files. With it's easy to use drag and drop interface, pre-select output formats, and video & image previews, Adapter makes converting files dead simple.

Please note that this is a beta-release, which means that we have many changes that we plan to add in the next couple of weeks. Suggestions are welcome! We'd love to hear from you by emailing [email protected].

Pod to Mac 3.303 adds various bug fixes.

When you spend a lot of time testing out iPod transfer software, or if you're trying to combine two music collections you can end up with with a pretty disorganized iTunes Library. When the clutter of music reaches hundreds, or thousands, of dupes, you need a program to help get rid of it - and that's what Dupe Away is. Dupe away is a small, single purpose program; it seeks and destroys duplicate tracks from iTunes. In the free download version of it users get a 100% free analysis of their library to see if they have any duplicates or tracks without locations. After the analysis, the instant delete feature can be unlocked for $7.99. Dupe away is available for Mac OSX 10.5 and 10.6. It requires iTunes.

We've finally finished our brand new macroplant site and in the next 24-48 hours we will be entirely moving everything from myPodApps.com to Macroplant.com! Like the new site? Let us know by e-mailing our new e-mail address: [email protected].

In Pod to Mac 3.302, we have once again completely overhauled the user interface. Mac users are picky about how their software looks and they undoubtably have very high standards. We have designed and built this new UI to exceed your expectations!

This week's release of the Windows version of iTunes 9.1 brought some changes to the iPhone and iPod Touch interface. Pod to PC 3.216 & iPhone Explorer 0.992, which we just released, contain a patch to resolve issues related to these changes.

The updated version of Phone Disk includes a few bug fixes but also a pretty nifty file transferring option. If you take a look at the updated preference menu, you'll now see a new option that allows for transferred images to be displayed directly in the device's picture albums. All you have to do to add an image to a picture album on the device is to copy the file into one of the sub folders within the DCIM directory.

We updated & greatly simplified the installer for Phone Disk. Additionally, various bugs have been fixed.

Over the course of the next 30 days, we will be changing our company's name to Macroplant! You should start seeing logo and name changes across the site soon. Other than that, we're the same great group as before. :-)

We just got the first version of the phone disk website up! You can find it here:
