Aiseesoft iPod + iPhone Mac Suite
Combines a manager for iOS devices and a ringtone maker in a single package.
Aiseesoft iPod + iPhone Mac Suite combines two applications in a single package. The apps are iPod Manager for Mac and Mac iPhone Ringtone Creator.
The second part of the suite is a ringtone maker. It is a simple utility that lets you transform a video or audio clip into a small M4R file that you can load on your iPhone and use it as a ringtone for incoming calls. It is very easy to use and it works rather well. However, I find it strange that a separate ringtone maker is included when the "Manager" application already comes with one.
I did most of my testing with the Manager app. I used an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. It was detected and loaded by the app quite quickly. I could browse and preview my files before transferring them. I moved data to and from the device without any problems.
There is another similar suite sold by Aiseesoft, targeted towards iPhone 4 users. I found it to be identical to this one, so you don't really need to get that one if you are an iPhone 4 user. This one will do just fine.
Pros
- Support for different devices
- Easy to use
- Nice interface
Cons
- Limited in terms of types of files that can be transferred
- The inclusion of a separate ringtone maker doesn't make much sense
