Help us improve CopyTrans Manager

I have been given an iPad for work. Don't like them, don't need them and don't have an iTunes account or ANY desire to install their software. My understanding from what I read online is CopyTrans will allow me to connect and transfer some of my MP3's to this iPad. I have installed Apple Device Support drivers as well as CopyTrans Manager and connected to my USB. I select the "Trust Device" option when prompted but only get errors when connecting. Reconnecting or restarting the iPad OR CopyTrans software does nothing, same result... Just errors... Maybe the problem is iOS 12.3 but either way, the CopyTrans software does nothing...

What I mean is this: If I click on "Title" on top of a list, it sorts the songs alphabetically, kind of... For example, I now find a song that starts with "A" under "C", even though it was the first song on the list before sorting the list. Also, if after you had sorted the list, you add more songs, they appear on the bottom of the list and cannot be manually dragged to the correct place in the list. They just snapp back to the previouis position. There is definitely something not right with the list sorting procedure.

The ideal would be, that after you moved songs on a list, they either automatically 'assume' the correct alphabetucal position, or the list can reliably be sorted by clicking on "Title" on top of the list. Can you make this happen? We'd all appreciate it very much! :)

It would be super, that when we move songs over from the PC to the iPad, we would be warned, that this or that song already is on the list of songs there. As it is now, it just puts the transferred songs on the bottom of the list, regardless if some of these songs are already on that list.

The playlist is not saved. The music cover art seems to be randomly selected.

Not searching or finding any covers for my ipod . used to work fine?

I'm trying to compare the song lists in multiple devices and I think it would be easier in Excel. Is there a way to get the list of songs out of the iThing into Excel?

I KEEP DELETING FILES AND THEY ARE STILL THERE, HOW ABOUT MAKING YOUR PROGRAM DO WHAT IT SAYS

to liste my tracks on my iphone its has been stuck to 42% and has not mooved fix this please

When I open my songs on the app, they all show up with no problem. But when I disconnect my iPod nano, it says there are no songs. What should I do???

I have had to download drivers. Reinstall Copy Trans manager. I use multiple Apple devices and what I thought was a stable version of Copy Trans becomes inoperable when I switch to another Apple device. Right now I am looking at another Warning: At the moment iTunes must be install for IOS5 full support. [I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and still NOTHING!!]. Then it says Please update to the latest version of CopyTrans and Ive DONE that too. Your software is unstable. Maybe its because you're products are tethered to the awful iTunes.

If I click the "Add" button and select a directory with many tracks, the software seems to do a huge amount of work. I don't know what it is doing but it takes maybe 5 minutes to add about 200 tracks. It is an amount of slow work that I associate with, say, copying the files from one disk to another. However what is it actually doing during the "adding" stage? It is not clear. Really all the software should do is to inspect the file system and create a list of titles. I expect that to take a few seconds even if there are hundreds of files. OK so what is going on here. Perhaps if you explain to users what the software is doing and why it needs to take so long "adding" it will make sense.

when i add an album with more than one artist, it creates multiple albums. it is really tedious to go and edit each song that has two artists. this app is really great but it has some flaws. thanks for freeing me from apple

After the update, there is an issue where the white part of the album cover looks different. Please modify it to the next update.

Please fix this bug. Before the update, I never had an issue like this. I love this app. I use it like everyday to update my iPod-- yes, I'm old school. I love the beauty of finding music on my own and putting it on my iPod, still.

For the last 2 hours I have attempted to have your Copy Trans Manager software program add new playlists to my iPhone. I have followed your directions step by step to Install the iPhone drivers without installing iTunes by downloading then running the CopyTrans Drivers Installer. Then, once this process has been successfully completed and when I attempt to add new playlists to my iPhone, I receive the error message, "An error has occurred while managing your iPod library. Device update failed. Device is probably busy. Please try again in a minute." When I try again in a minute, I receive the same error message.

When desiring to delete letters in a Playlist's name, one is forced to use the backspace key, because the Delete key does not work in CopyTrans Editor.

No matter how many times one edits their Playlists, they always hit the Delete key on their keyboard when desiring to delete a character, only to find it is totally inoperative, dead, and won't do a danged thing. Sometimes, unsure as to whether they pressed it hard enough or not, they press the delete key repeatedly, only to find CopyTrans refuses to respond, no matter how many times they press the key. This is at first concerning, and then it becomes frustrating, and then it becomes angering, until one finally realizes that they must seek an alternative way to get CopyTrans to respond, and to get it to allow them to finally delete the character and continue on with their editing.

There are two ways that a user of CopyTrans has available to them that will eventually be thought of and found to work. The first is to take their hands off of the keyboard and to grab their mouse, and to manually highlight the letters they wish to delete. If this is a single character, it can be difficult to maneuver the mouse so precisely as to highlight one individual character, and may itself be a bit frustrating, but once they do, they can then press the desired letter to replace it, and then continue on, placing both hands once again on their keyboard to continue editing. This must be done every single time a letter is found to be mistyped or for some other reason needs to be changed.

The other way of deleting characters is to locate the "backspace" key on their keyboard. This is not a commonly used key, and can be difficult to locate for some users, especially if they are using their computer in a darkened room by the monitor light. But again, it does work, and once the cursor is moved AFTER the character, which is not where it normally needs to be to delete a character and requires and additional step and extra effort to be made, the backspace key can then be pressed to delete the character and then to finally be able to get on with editing.

Both of these methods which do work are tedious, and both require extra effort, and both are discovered to be necessary only AFTER the delete button is pressed, every single time it is pressed, when using CopyTrans Manager, and the resulting concern, frustration, worry, anger, etc. is experienced...

This, again, has been the case ever since the very first time I ever used CopyTrans Manager, which as been perhaps 10 years now, and something which has never been addressed or fixed, and is an item that makes using CopyTrans Manager difficult and frustrating to use when editing and maintaining ones Playlists.

So, getting the Delete button fixed so it can be used to edit characters would be a most welcomed improvement.

Thanks...! ;-)

I've been using CopyTrans Manager for perhaps 10 years now, and have always been frustrated that I cannot manage my Playlists properly using it because there is no way to get the lists to show up on my iPhone the same way they show up in the playlist editor.

While playlists with names that begin with numbers show up at the top of the playlist and automatically organize themselves in ascending order, names starting with number start AFTER names that are alphabetical. So, although names prefixed with numbers (01. - <name>, 02 - <name> ., 03. - <name>, etc.) show up at the top of the list in order in CopyTrans Manager, they are not found at the top of the list on the iPhone, but below any playlist names that start with letters.

Equally as frustrating, if one begins prefixing their playlist names with letters (a <name>, a <name>, a <name>, b <name> b<name>, c <name>, etc.) if any additional characters are used for sorting purposes (aa <name>, aa <name>, b <name> ba <name>, bb <name>, etc.) one begins to lose valuable character space simply attempting to sort their playlists and keep them in the desired order.

There is no easily available reference to know the heirarchy of symbols, to know where they might show up in CopyTrans Manager, or any way of knowing if that order will be what actually shows up on the iPhone, which makes this aspect of CopyTrans Manager, the sorting and maintaining of the order of ones playlists very difficult and somewhat frustrating.

So, it would be nice if someone would finally address this problem which has existed with the application for so long and make the way the playlist order shows up in CopyTrans Manager the same as it shows up when one views their playlists on their iPhone.

Thanks...
