The Portable version is modified, you should just need to run winamp.exe and it'll load up (shouldn't get any install screens). Got it running here on my Shuffle.

If you get the Portable version of Winamp I linked above. Just unzip it, then copy the unzipped directory onto your iPod. Do this by plugging in your iPod, then look in My Computer, it should show up as a removable drive. Paste the unzipped folder onto the iPod. Run winamp.exe from your iPod.

Once Winamp has loaded up. Press Alt-L for the Media Library. On the left hand column your iPod should show up under Devices (make sure it's attached).

Select it, then just drag 'n' drop your music there.

Using Portable Winamp makes your iPod truly portable. You don't need to install any software on a computer, as it runs from your iPod. It also means you have a media player (Winamp) when plugging in your iPod elsewhere.
