iRip (formerly named iPodRip, removed due to iPod trademark) is a commercial iPod recovery tool for Mac OS X, Windows XP and Windows Vista featuring an iTunes style interface, easy media transfer from your iPod and seamless integration with iTunes. It was originally released in August 2003 and has since had over 5 million downloads.
iPodRip supports all iPods (including iPod Touch) and all iPhones.
It is one of the products developed out of the hacks during MacHack 2003. However, the developer never demonstrated it thinking the hack "too simple" when compared to Unstoppable Progress and Interface UnBuilder, both of which wowed the audience.
Name change
In November 2009 The Little App Factory was forced by Apple Inc to change the name of iPodRip to remove the trademark iPod. In a bid to gain leniency the developer sent an email to Steve Jobs and this email exchange was leaked garnering headlines due to Steve's succinct reply of "Change your apps name. Not that big of a deal."[1] The software is now known as iRip.
