Review by FileBEAST's J.W.B:

Mp3 players are all the rage at the moment, with their popularity having skyrocketed in recent times. It is not hard to imagine then that there will be many a music lover to rejoice upon discovering Pod2Go. This smart, simple freeware application transforms an ordinary MP3 player into a rich source of information, allowing it to display everything from cinema schedules and weather forecasts to share prices and even lyrics for your favorite songs. Pod2Go synchronizes any portable device with live information streamed straight from the web whenever connected, ensuring up-to-date information is always on hand, or in this case, in pocket. Simplicity and ease of use are two of the strengths of Pod2Go, while the only real complaints would have to be with the dodgy lyric support, and the fact that for the moment the application is for the Mac OS only. These issues are easily forgivable, and anyone with a Mac and an MP3 player will no doubt love Pod2Go.
