PhoneTrans is a free Windows software which acts as an alternative to iTunes. PhoneTrans allows you to transfer media files which include audio and video file between iPhone and computer. You can export any media file from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to computer and vice-versa.
This alternative to iTunes needs your iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch to be connected via USB cable to start the transfer of media file between computer and device. Apart from media files, you can even manage all your installed apps, TV shows, Podcast, ringtones, and more.
We normally use iTunes on our Windows PC to transfer media files from PC to our iDevice. However, iTunes is quite heavy in size. With the lightweight PhoneTrans, you can perform necessary actions of managing media files between iPhone and computer. Like iTunes, you can easily browse audio files according to the music folders which you have created on your iPhone.
There are some shortcomings which I found while testing this iTunes alternative. You cannot browse images saved on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. This means you cannot use this freeware to transfer images between PC and iPhone. Another shortcoming of the freeware is that, unlike iTunes it does not allow you to play the audio or video file which you are browsing from iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.
