Retro sounds: iMazing 3.6 manages and reads iPod classic
The Apple device universal tool iMazing is available in a new version. Windows users are also considered.

iMazing is used to manage new and old external Apple devices from a Mac, be it an iPhone, an iPad, or an Apple TV. It also offers various functions that Apple does not provide as built-in tools, such as directly installing applications from the App Store or searching the file system. The latest version should please people who still have an old iPod – or are just discovering it as a minimalist music playback device.
iPod classic, iPod nano, iPod shuffle
The update 3.6 can handle all variants of the iPod classic. The special thing about it is that you can not only send music to the MP3 player but also play existing music back to your computer. Although you can still mount 26 different generations via Finder under macOS, support is likely to be dropped soon and does not cover all generations or all generations completely. With iMazing, you no longer need iTunes on Windows or Finder, both of which do not always work smoothly.

The app also includes its player, so you can listen to songs contained on the iPod directly; cover art is also displayed, and the operation is similar to iTunes or Apple Music. Music transfer was already possible with iPhone and iPad before, but version 3.6 now supports iPod classic, iPod nano, and iPod shuffle “fully,” according to the Swiss iMazing manufacturer DigiDNA.
New log view, more Windows support
Other new features in iMazing 3.6 include an improved log view with search function, filters, and Excel/CSV export. The OneDrive backup function now works better on Windows, and the iMazing Configurator is landing on the PC for the first time, with which you can then configure Apple devices in bulk. iMazing lists details on the scope of functions in a support document.
iMazing has now switched to a subscription business model. The price for managing one device starts at 30 euros per year; for five devices, you pay 50 euros. A family license for up to 20 devices costs 80 euros per year.
