Nero Move It
This is due for release today (29th September), but we’ve been playing with it for a few weeks now with a very-nearly-retail version just so that we can give you the full low-down now that you can go out and buy it for the not-too-pricey £39.99 (or for £29.99 if you look hard enough online). So what is Move It? Essentially it is a software tool enabling you transfer files from one device to another without the need for drivers and other forms of installed software. For example, if you’ve recorded a sweet video on your mobile phone, but really want to be able to play it back on your iPod, you’ll be able to transfer it straight across. No worries about other programs, no worries about having to re-encode the file format, just two clicks, and it’ll do it all for you without any fuss. Nothing that we’ve seen has come close to the ease and simplicity of Move It in being able to get your (non-DRM’d of course) files from device to device. The file conversion is probably the hardest thing to get right when transferring media, with all kinds of extensions and codecs to get confused over; but Move It solves them all those worries with a few clicks. Here’s their own short description:
So not only can you put your content on your devices, but you can also upload them straight to Youtube, MySpace or MyNero, all from the same programme. You can also stage ‘offline file conversion’, which allows you to get files ready for transferring without the recipient device even being connected meaning, for example, you can prepare all of your music so that it can go straight onto a new MP3 player. The user interface is nice and clean, although there is a learning curve with the little images that depict devices and services as these can be slightly ambiguous. If you have lots of devices, and you like sharing your content between them, this really is the easiest way. Smooth, slick and simple, it makes the whole experience easy from the start. A very good product, although I can’t help wondering why noone thought of doing it before.
