I broke down and purchased a new iMac today but I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my music off my iDevices (iPhone, iPod, etc) I purchased iRip (SUCKS) and TouchCopy (doesn't work) and I'm at the end of my rope with this. I tried copying all my files over and changing the file path but iTunes won't recognize the XML Library Export. I'm absolutely FED UP with iTunes and really the entire iDevice eco system. By comparison, I use CopyTrans in the PC world and everything works PERFECTLY.

Does anyone know of a reasonable alternative to iTunes that will read my iDevices and let me manage everything completely apart from it? I'm really tired of being locked into it. I'm really close to just dumping everything and going with Android for Phone and Tablet and selling all my Apple mobile gear.

Thanks
