Apparently there is Real Networks 'Rhapsody'. I'm assuming that you are using an iPod.

Winamp. Apparently, there is now a plug-in for it that allows you to up-load stuff to your iPod.

Odeo is a relative newcomer that is being compared to iTunes alot recently - haven't tried it myself, but I know alot of people have been raving about it.

Try a program called EphPod.

It's free and easy to use. It has a couple of bugs, but nothing that has every effected me. It can also transfer tracks both ways (ie to and from the iPod) unlike iTunes where you can only put them on the iPod.

http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/ might be worth a look too. Their Notmad software is the program of choice for Creative Zen users.

Yeah (i agree with Blinky) Anapod is very good. It's not free, but integrates into the Windows Explorer Shell making it very easy to copy songs to and from the iPod.

odeo is fine to download podcasts...but thats it...an invite only beta is no use for day to day playlist updating...

can anyone who uses something other than itunes for general playlist updating please give me a usable alternative??
