    When the extension is installed, it tries to open a welcome page, but that failed for us on both test computers. Close it out and go to your Tools menu, and enable bookmark sync. This will require a Google account, and if bookmark sync isn't active, you can toggle it under the Personal Stuff tab in Options.

    From there, click the FreshStart button that now appears on your Chrome toolbar and you can toggle which tabs you want to sync. This is especially interesting because you can create multiple saved tab sessions that contain different tabs. You can also customize the name of your session, rename it later, or remove a saved session. It would be nice, though, if you could set a default naming convention the way that Session Manager does for Firefox.

    Once FreshStart has been installed on a second computer's Google Chrome, you can restore a saved session either by merging it with the existing open tabs, or opening it into a new window. In Chrome's global extension options menu, you can also enable a crash recovery that saves your tabs every five minutes. FreshStart's name doesn't really seem to relate to its function, but its features work well and make this a great extension for users with multiple computers.

    It's a fast freeware tool for transferring your music collection from your iPod to your hard drive, making it easy to back up or restore your music, videos, and photos. It also transfers playlists, album art, and ratings, both to your hard drive and optionally right into iTunes.

    SharePod comes with features that many competitors lack. Not only can you transfer your files, you can also perform some basic track tweaking. You can use it to delete art, playlists, music, and videos from your iPod, edit tags, and you can also transfer from your computer to your iPod without having to use iTunes. When you copy, you can set the folder architecture to one of three defaults, or customize your own. One key feature of SharePod is that it comes with a database backup, so if something goes awry during the transfer process, it's a simple procedure to restore it.

    The program comes in an archive, not a self-extracting EXE file. This is slightly annoying, but the EXE file is tiny and weighs in at just 5.4MB so it's small enough to carry around on your iPod. Most importantly, SharePod is surprisingly effective. During two transfers, with one session involving more than 7,000 songs and their accompanying artwork, playlists, and ratings, SharePod only freaked out on two dozen tracks. When it did, it didn't stop copying, but instead logged which files copied successfully and which ones didn't.

    SharePod works with most legacy iPods, and with newer models including the Nano 5G, the iPhone 3GS, and the iPod Touch. It doesn't natively support Mac-formatted drives, though. Given how hassle-free it is and how good it is at what it does, it's hard not to consider SharePod a must-have for Windows users.
