Podshanking is the latest trend to move music files between two iPods without the need for a computer. It’s a quick and easy way to share your favorite songs with your friends or simply transfer them to a newer iPod.
How Does it Work?
The first version of Podshanking involves connecting an iPod’s headphone connector to a voice recorder device via a cable. The device records the song that is being played through the headphone jack in real-time, which can then be transferred to any other iPod through its headphone jack.
Is the Quality Good?
The sound quality may not be the best due to the real-time, digital-to-analog conversion for the headphones and the low-rate digital recording. Additionally, you have to play the entire song to transfer it. However, there are ways to improve the quality using hacks like iPodLinux for efficient digital file transfer.
