Findley Designs has released iPod Access 3.0 for Mac OS X.
iPod Access copies songs from your iPod back to your Macintosh. Unlike almost all the other iPod applications on the market today iPod Access utilizes the iPods internal database to display song information. By using the database song listings can be displayed instantly, playlist data can be viewed, and songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store can be displayed properly. Most other applications much fetch song data from each song individually making them extremely slow and incompatible with file formats other than regular MP3s.

– AAC file support (including iTunes Music store songs)
