  • media monkey can comunicate with the i pod as well and doesn't suck nearly as much as i tunes?

    so you don't need i tunes for your i pod at all, it even says it on the media monkey home page.

    Do you need to buy the uprated Media Monkey or is the free download sufficient to transfer your songs to and from your ipod?

    Winamp has a free pluggin for Ipod. I also use anapod for my ipod but it isn't free. I dislike itunes and the quicktime rubbish it shoves on, I also use quicktime alternative along with real alternative.

    Thanks for this have managed to get music on shuffle no 2.. My computer will not even recognise shuffle no 3 and I am now begining to think it may be faulty , Also it won't tell me if its is charged or not..
    Any idea on argos's returns policy with regards to this ..

    If using a Shuffle, you can simply drag and drop files using Windows Explorer (and a simple application).
    http://shuffle-db.sourceforge.net/

    And the download page is here:
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=136446
    (grab the "rebuild_db-1.0-rc1.zip" file, unzip it, and it's the "rebuild_db.exe" you need to place on the root of your Shuffle).

    I use it all the time with my Shuffle, very handy. I just drag and drop the files I want across (I can name them and put them in folders as I choose). Then when finished, run the small (9kb) application, and it's ready to go.

    Makes it truly portable as all the software needed is held on the Shuffle itself.

    I had loads of trouble with iTunes on my comp too so much so that I sold the Ipod in the end. Was just too much hassle.
    If you really want to be free from hassle, buy a Mac. iTunes and iPod work flawlessly and you don't have any worries about malware of any sort. :)

    That's a £700 solution though. Not the most feasible. And you'd just be taking a step further into "Apple World" which I find is more monopolistic/controlling than the Microsoft one.
